I'm not gonna make my mind up about the new regs until I properly see them in place.

Was a good race yesterday, kinda spoiled by Eddie Jordan constantly reminding us that Force India used to be his team, It aint anymore! Get used to it!


Anyone else heard that Renault might be thrown out of the championship? Allegations of race fixing at last years Singapore GP have come to light. Apparantly Piquet was told to crash out of the race to aid Alonso. Seems a bit far fetched to me, but you never know!

Seems very far fetched to me.
Piquet wasn't that great of a driver. It just doesn't make sense at all and its stupid bringing it up a year after it all happened.

Not sure about the new regs. Am glad that Q3 will be without race fuel it will make it more interesting! But then at the start of the race you will have 26 (or however many cars next year) all starting with the same full tanks, they will all be so slow off the line lugging great big tanks of fuel!

Those break disks, glad they are going. Nothing but trouble!

I like the fact that the brake discs cause touble, would be boring if nothing ever went wrong!

I dont beleive that at all about Piquet as after that he lost his place didn't he?

Looks like Felipe won't be back until next year. He needs another operation for a plate in where the spring hit him. After that he can train again and go karting.
Its better for him not to come back till 2010 I think, he will at least be able to get into the car and test it before racing.

Wonder who will get the seat though!

It's probably best he doesn't rush back in anyway. Not fussed who gets his seat as long as it isn't Badoer anymore!


The Renault/ singapore situation ain't getting any better by the sound of it: http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,1895...531424,00.html

Who knows, there has been rumours of them pulling out since ING announced they weren't gonna sponsor them after this season, so this might just push them out....

Fisichella has signed for Ferrari for the remaining 5 races of 2009, he'll also be their reserve driver for 2010.
