The Sun loves hearsay and will quote Joe blow on the sidewalk
But i also expect Kimi out and Alonso in because where else would FA fit in? The puzzle seems to be coming together for the Spaniard, this is a progressive move for him and his technical ability is exactly what Ferrari wants. After Schumi he is technically the best driver on the grid. |

Team Renault have been granted permission to race in this weekend's upcoming Valencia GP after winning appeals made by the F1 team.
Renault admitted unsafe conduct, the Court decided that the penalty was too severe and replaced it with a reprimand and a US$50,000 fine. |

As if.
He's good, and he's an aggressive driver...but he's only rewarded when he has a good car
I'd still say Kimi is a cut above him. Take a look from back in his Mc Laren days..........unlike Fred...who actually got the limelight stolen from him by Hammie (and at some points Hammie was doing better than Fred).
Fred? Best driver on the grid? And Hammie gave him a challenge in the same car?

By technically I meant what the other teams have been saying around the paddock...
That FA can assist with car development because of his knowledge, McLaren, Ferrari and Renault have said it.
Putting Kimi behind the wheel and getting live feedback must be frustrating, if his interviews are an indication of his communication to the team via radio  |

talking to media != talking to team
he's a good car developer, otherwise he wouldn't have won WDC in 07. |

Kimi + Beer FTW
no seriously, I think that "approach" he has during interviews is part of what makes him a good driver. Compare him, to say, Hammie...and you'll see my point. |

altho Alonso is a damn good driver, i've lost all respect for him after the whole "the team only supporting Hammie" cry baby news. I'm also a bonafied Tifosi and seeing Alonso in red nex year will see me losing interest in F1.
anyway, for Hammie to have only 3 laps of practice and get pole is simply astonishing. Looks like the other big race horses have caught up. Let's see how interesting'hectic things will get |

yeah but the key is that the Mc Laren was catching up on the BRAWN's throughout the race coming to the end. they cut a lead of 6secs to 2.7 i think coming to the end of the race and mc laren was on the super soft and brawn was on the harder compund 70% through out the race
I feel Ferrari played it safe to get the points and to get a podium
Vettel i feel sorry for 2 engines in one race |

In the latest round of 'Fernando Alonso to Ferrari' reports an unnamed source has revealed that the Scuderia will delay announcing the Spaniard's signing as they await news on Felipe Massa's condition.
According to rumours, Ferrari were expected to make an announcement at September's Italian Grand Prix, confirming that Alonso will be racing for them next season.
However, an unnamed source now claims Ferrari will delay the announcement as they wait to learn Massa's fate.
It is not yet known when - or even if - Massa will return to racing as the Brazilian continues his recovery after suffering head injuries during Hungarian qualifying a month ago.
"The announcement was due to be made in Monza as had been expected for some time," a source told GPWeek with regards to Alonso joining Ferrari. "However with Massa's return under question the team has been forced to delay.
"Fernando will be a Ferrari driver in 2010. The deal has been signed. The only question is his team-mate and out of respect for Felipe, Ferrari will not make the announcement until they are sure whether he will be able to return." |
