I`m gutted :mis: was looking forward to a bit of schumy in the mix, you know liven things up, a bit like Kimi in an interview...

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

di Montezemolo has been taking motivational lessons from Flavio. Quoted on autosport "I prefer the champion, even if matured, to the mediocre driver"

a little later in the interview we have a concession to Badoer..

"[We have] faith in Luca Badoer, who's one of us," he said. "Destiny has given him a unique possibility now he has to make the best out of it. We will support him with all we've got."

Ex F1 Johnny Herbert is joining BTCC for the final three rounds for team dynamics.

Does anyone else watch this? It's fast becoming one of my favourites when F1 isn't on :)

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Yeah, when I have spare time which isn't often. But I do also go to Thruxton for the BTCC which is a good day out as I get free tickets.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

i used to love the BTCC in the early 90s then I think it went a bit downhill.

I prefer the WTCC now the bigger tracks means you get more actual racing rather than crashes although there has been a few too many team orders of late in the WTCC

Cowwected ;) :p:

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

looks like the ban has been lifted

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/77736

finally the FIA see sense

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

It makes a change the court of appeal over turning something! :)

Same news on the BBC site too.

Eek, that was quick. Correct decision, that ban was ludicrous although you could see why under the circumstances they awarded it.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

Grosjean has been officially confirmed by Renault to the end of the season.

Lets see how close he gets to Alsonso. I hope he does well.:)

Also reported on Autosport; Badoer has been doing some "promotional" runs in this years F60, apparently Bridgestone have a control tyre(so hard it may as well be wood !) to ensure it really is promotional work and not surreptitious testing.

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

yes it seemed Ferrari wanted to film an advert and needed the new car :D

Good luck to Grosjean he is a good driver but it seems the second seat is tainted. I think the last time the team fielded two decent cars was 93 :shocked:

Re: Formula 1 2009 Season [may contain real time spoilers]
 

96, give Williams some credit. :)
