Ferrari to confirm Alonso @ Italian GP
5 yr contract
http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3213_5407349,00.html
I really hope this is just speculation. I would really find it hard to support Ferrari with Alonso as their #1 or as a matter of fact #2 driver |

| not surprising yes, I think Kimmi is on his way out he doesn't seem like the guy who would shed any tears if he isn't in F1 anymore. |

Alonso is very good and has loads of experience and technical know-how but i think Vettel is the future...
seems like planetF1 is right:

A step too far for Ecclestone?
Saturday 4th July 2009
Never one to side step controversy, Bernie Ecclestone has been quoted as saying that Adolf Hitler was a man who "was able to get things done" and that Max Mosley would do a better job than Gordon Brown or Tony Blair.
The outspoken Ecclestone has in the past walked a very thin line but his latest comments are bound to be interpreted as some as overstepping the mark.
Adolf Hitler was a man who "was able to get things done," Ecclestone told The Guardian.
"In a lot of ways, terrible to say this I suppose, but apart from the fact that Hitler got taken away and persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not, he was in the way that he could command a lot of people, able to get things done.
"I prefer strong leaders. Margaret Thatcher made decisions on the run and got the job done. She was the one who built this country up slowly. We've let it go down again. All these guys, Gordon and Tony are trying to please everybody all the time... Max would do a super job, he's a good leader."
He added that he doesn't believe that having Sir Oswald Mosley, leader of the British Union of Fascists, as his father should count against Max.
"I don't think his background would be a problem," he continued. "Politicians are too worried about elections. We did a terrible thing when we supported the idea of getting rid of Saddam Hussein, he was the only one who could control the country. It was the same with (the Taliban)."
The F1 supremo, though, did backtrack a bit on his "it's a joke" comments when Lewis Hamilton was mocked by some Spanish spectators last season. Now he says "if they do it again, I will go and find them and make them come and meet Lewis Hamilton." |

Ferrari deny Alonso rumours - again
Friday 3rd July 2009
Not for the first time - and PF1 seriously doubts if it will be for the last time either - Ferrari have denied signing Fernando Alonso.
Earlier this week, Diario AS reported that Fernando Alonso would be heading to Ferrari next season, having signed a five-year contract.
The Spanish daily even went as far as to say that the Scuderia would be confirming the Spaniard on the Friday of the Italian GP weekend and would be including him in their post-season parties.
Ferrari, though, have denied the report.
"We are not going to waste our time commenting on these rumours," Ferrari spokesman Luca Colajanni told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
"Everyone should remember (Felipe) Massa and (Kimi) Raikkonen have contracts that include 2010." |

it begins again...
FOTA teams stage fresh walk-out
Wednesday 8th July 2009
The future of Formula One is again "in jeopardy" after the eight members of FOTA walked out of a meeting with the FIA.
Just two weeks after peace appeared to have broken out in the wake of FOTA's threat to form a breakaway series, the battle lines have seemingly been drawn again.
The latest dispute centres around the legality of the eight teams' entry into next season's world championship, and voting rights in relation to the technical and sporting regulations. |

from an impartial perspective I would like to see Webber take it home, he deserves it and should do it with that car...Vettel to storm through and take 2nd at home and make it a RB 1-2 Massa for 3rd  |

wow, RBR and rebranded Honda (Brawn) are the new Ferrari and McLaren.
someone could have made serious money off my arse if they made a bet with me before this season started.
anyhow, I just want Sutil to finish in the top 8. Force India deserve a point after 1.5 seasons of F1. |

^^Would be a shame if that's the case. I'm sure Bourdais would be a better performer in the RBR car.
Other than that, I hope Red Bull takes it this time around. ANd who would've thought.....Force India in the top 10 qualifiers  |
