I'm going to "The Salt Lick" for sure, also going to be sure to hit up a few of the local places with good happy hours (I live in a place where it is illegal to discount booze
)I just wanted to post that. At the end they all had a laugh about lewis and his recent break up with nicole last year that was in the press.

Dem straights, classic track.
No that's not why. They were laughing about the absurdity of the questions that that one and other reporters were asking. Also, the mic problems that Nico, Vettel & Schumacher were joking about.

Damn Shaneus, here's an athlete you should be checking out! Just hope Webber doesn't get to her first!
Ridiculously good looking hurdles runner
Hopefully her and Webber do well, I'd say win but I want Hamilton to win to keep the championship race tight.

No big deal right? Makes Montreal look slow :|

Mclaren brought a significant update for the German GP. Here's a quick peek at the new sidepod/exhaust design...
As an Australian, you're welcome

I find it hilarious that a friend of mine sent me this in gif form already.

Is there a new movie coming out or something?

Jenson is on a multi-year deal, so frankly I'd be absolutely stunned if he ended up elsewhere next year.
I'm fairly sure Jaime has been saying he's certain that he has a race seat for next year since the start of the season, so I expect it will be a midfield team. Ferrari is the only top team I could see him possibly ending up in, but I'd be really surprised if they'd made such an early commitment to someone who they knew was going to be out for a season.
Bottas seems to be a shoe-in at Williams, so unless Maldonado gets the chop, I don't see that happening either. Same with Lotus, unless Grosjean mysteriously goes walkies.
Prupose is such a twat. Reading this short article, "Silverstone was not a mistake...I lost the car so it could happen to all drivers." Granted, who knows what the author chose to cut, but it sure comes across like he still doesn't get it.
"At the last race I was very unlucky because I lost the car at the entry of the corner and unfortunately Perez was on the outside of the corner. It's dificult to say, I was not fighting with Perez at that moment, I just defended my position and was on the inside part of the corner. It's a quick corner and the corner was mine at the time, but I got unlucky because I lost the car."
Sigh...I wish the interviewer told him that losing the car isn't about luck when there's nothing mechanically wrong.

That collision was such a bloody non-event. The only reason it caused a fuss is because of prior incidents.
I'd have called out any other driver who did the same. If he was a rookie I'd be much more understanding. There were other drivers who fought through that corner the same way without incident. I'm calling attention to it because he doesn't own up to it.
It's an "N", for Nando. Sideways.Some Zorro shenanigans in the Ferrari garage.

Duh.
Glock and Sutil? No way. Perez, probably not, considering even Sauber isn't really happy with him. Kovalainen, maybe. Di Resta replacing Schumi could happen but I'm pretty sure he'll stay in F1 for another year or two.
Boring P1 thanks to the rain but the rest of the weekend will probably be dry.
I'm sure Ferrari would be interested if Lotus was crazy enough to replace Grosjean with Alguersuari. And it wouldn't make any sense because Jaime's biggest asset is Cepsa and Lotus already has a deal in place with Total.
Alguersuari is probably going to end up in Caterham or Sauber (I fear for Kamui's future...)
Sutil will never race in F1 again. Glock has shown absolutely nothing and killed his career when he accepted to drive for Virgin.
But I agree that if Massa and Schummy remain on their teams, the market will change very little, but it seems Heikki and Alguersuari are absolutely sure they will go to a good team next year, so 2 drivers will leave. My guess is Senna and Kamui (where are the Japanese sponsors?).

It looks like Ferrari is testing new hard tyres.
No way Ferrari would want Grosjean, they always said they want an experience proven driver as the second and the talks with Webber prove that it wasn't just talk.
From the current field only Glock and Kov would fit that bill imo. Both have experience from top teams and have constanly easily outpaced their teammates.
Aside from that all upper teams up to Sauber are fairly set in their driver constallation for next year imo (with maybe Grosjean and Kamui not being 100% safe). Below that from FI on it could be a big shuffle and influx of new drivers.
Dunno there are always storys about how Lotus is in a bit of limbo money wise plus he is a bit error prone. Maybe they'd want to bring someone in who is loaded with .
/shrug maybe
Kovalainen would be a good fit especially if what everyone in the paddock is saying about that rumored Vettel non-binding agreement is indeed true.

Codemasters put Maria de Villota on the box of their new F1 Race Stars game. A nice gesture, I think.
He makes quite a few mistakes and this being Renault / Lotus, who knows.
But with his recent results plus Bouiller being his manager surely he's a a safe assumption for next year, but who knows

Why? He's hardly been dominating this year.

More to do with Webber increasing his points advantage over him, so that Red Bull have no choice but to back Webber for the championship.
They gave Petrov 2 seasons and Grosjean is better than Petrov. Isn't Boullier also not involved in Grosjean's career or something?

I think if Grosjean leaves Lotus, then because he wants to and not because of his performance.
I want to see him win some positions by racing, thought he was going to be interesting to watch in Silverstone but I was wrong.
Correction to me previous posts RE: Lotus inlets
They are part of their new F-Duct system apparently. (Via F1Tech.net)
