Sad to see Germany losing a GP this year due to Ecclestone's outrageous entry fees.
Would've been funny to see him go to prison for bribery. Unfortunately he was able to end the trial with another bribe

Word is their insurance policy for him pays more than his salary if he doesn't race and it isn't the teams fault. I'm not saying crashgate 2 but it's never clear cut with Alonso is it?

Wouldn't be a bad deal really. KMag's doesn't fall too far from the tree!

I've always enjoyed Hockenheim as a circuit, and it's a great shame to hear that it won't be on the calendar this year. I preferred the original layout which saw the cars screaming past the trees, but even the smaller "ring" version gave for some decent racing.

I also much preferred the old track with the massive straights

Red Bull and Renault blaming each other makes for good entertainment!
Let's see what Horner says now that Renault puts part of the blame on the chassis

Horner really needs to learn when you shut up. He moans that someone else is winning (like his team was a few years back), he moans about the engine supplier, he moans about new rules and the tires. It just goes on and on with him. I can't stand the bloke and he gets muted when ever the BBC talk to him.

Shut up and get on with your own job and focus on your car instead of someone else's.

It seems Alonso believes there was fault with the car - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/32065185

How long until the relationship breaks down this time

Red Bull gives you whinge.
