Miffed at the fact that the FIA is prepared to go the distance on the 2010 issue, FOTA has aligned with the ACEA (a honorary body, without legal effect) to plead it's unteneable case. Bring on more new teams and let the carmakers blow their wads on useless charades in futility, much like what F1 has become with them involved. Those in the know, will know that car manufacturers are best suited as engine suppliers rather than dragging in their complicated businesses and making their problems F1's problems as well. It is a simple sport, put a car on the track and race it. All else is corporate egotism and engineering madness run amock. Go Max go!!

In spite of the spite, the new F1 cars will look like proper racing cars. Also looking good is Kimi snow-boarding, quite a natural, though Felipe seems like he's still learning on the ski's, more of a water style then snow, seemingly. Soon in full testing we will see who will lead the way. more photos at...

Nice to see for Renault too that they have not lost motivation over the year and gave Alonso the ride he needs to get back to where he belongs. Thanked by teamate Piquet's spin and the safety car, like Rosberg who proved even with his penalty that the mid-field has gained alot of speed these past few races while the leaders, like lucky Hamilton in 3rd are at a stasis with one another, not unlike an endless you may have the honor slow dance merry go-round of misses spiraling ever closer to the cup putting affair, rather than anyone stepping up and taking the bull (vettel) by the horns (alonso) to make the championship theirs. Nice drive by DC who if he even had the sniff that Massa, Raikkonen, Kovi? and even Hamilton have/had would be driving the wheels off like he was today.
