A Merc W196, like the one Nico is driving in the video, sold for an auction record 17.5m GPB ($26.4m USD) just yesterday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Next on F1's Greatest Rivals: Mark Webber vs. Red Bull Racing.

I think to be a rival you actually have to stand some sort of a chance of winning.

lol Horner's Redbull soapbox car lost both rear wheels
Uh...
Man i really like this guy, googling video's of this, hope i can find some.
Damnit, too clever!
mostly good news.
Of course they have to make concessions (getting in a pay driver) but at least it seems they managed to prevent bankruptcy.
[edit] I love how (according to rumours) one of Saubers arguments to get them on board was that Bernie will probably be gone soon (with the ongoing lawsuits) and that it might get better again for the smaller teams...

Well, I see serious lack of sponsorship-space if all those are to be pinned onto car.
However, I can't find any info about any of those "sponsors" as cited above.
On the other hand, there is something called Russian Direct Investment Fund, North-West Development and Investment Promotion Agency and Moscow Aviation Institute.

I found only this - http://www.niat.ru/data/org/1290444012/
For me it screams MONEY LAUNDRY, but hey, what do I know. If that is required to save Sauber's future, so be it, but I hope money indeed will be put into the team.
It can't be right... can it? The only other way it can be read is that he'll be put on the program as early as next year to get him into F1.
Hopefully until then, the Vyborg Rocket will have a seat

Gutierrez was their test driver when he was 18/19 he didn't get into the car til last year though.

Yeah, that's a dodgy looking operation, right there. You would think they could fork out 50 quid for a new camera and take a post 1985 shot of their building.

Can't wait to see the Russian mobsters hooning around in F1 cars.
In Soviet Russia, money launders you.
I'm excited to see just how many patches it takes Codemasters to either a) fix their game after release, or b) give up completely and work on the next iteration of either F1 Race Stars or that crappy F2P online F1 game.
My guess is 14 patches if they decide to call it quits, 20 if they manage to stick with it until they get it right.
5 patches if they announce Race Stars before 2013 comes out.
What, like, content from F1 2010, 2011 and 2012? Of course. That's all it'll be.
F1 Championship Edition with updated roster & tracks!
I skipped F1 2012, so i'll probably skip 2013 also
If you exclusively use a controller, maybe.
I should've skipped 2012. I really, really should've.F1 Championship Edition with updated roster & tracks!

I wonder if sales are steadily dropping for each of these games? I'd be bloody surprised if they're holding steady or improving.
To be honest, that would be only logical thing for them in order not to make another C/P game. I mean, it would also be C/P, but now with at least some reasoning within.
You start in 2010 and end in 2013. They can use the same simplified method for Career as in 2012, and those who want can opt for full-model as in previous games.
They have lincense to go even earlier, despite not launched on *big* platforms - F1 2009 was the first game covered by their licensem it was released only on PSP IIRC but they have data.
So, basically, they have 5 years in the wallet.
Really interested in next-gen version, I would really endorse jump to 60fps.
Guessing some classic cars will be pre order bonus. Different stores different cars, then £4 for each of the pack.
edit: Almost right. Classic is a different SKU http://www.game.es/Search/search_ne...P,F,B&PageSize=10&SortField=1&SortDirection=1

By going earlier, that means they'd have the license to make a series based on, say, 1991 or 2002? Unless I've misread your post (which I probably have).
So, is someone going to create an OT for the unveiling? In a way, I kind of hope so, if only for the vitriol it would attract
Edit: Not surprisingly, someone's already ran with my idea for the cover of the new game:
lulz

I just watched it. Very well put together, and really enjoyable. Tons of great footage. I loved how fierce both team managers are about it, even still to this day. Those two could get their own movie.
Pretty sure they are dropping, considering how quickly CM managed to destroy any hype for the series. With F1 2010 it was "A new F1 game? Fucking finally!", with F1 2011: "Well, they gotta get it right this time, don't they?", and F1 2012 already felt like: "They are doing another one?"
If I remember correctly, the license is up for grabs next year, although I'm not sure there is much interest from other parties.

Some big news in F1 circles this morning:
Marussia sign long-term deal with Ferrari for engines, powertrain and ERS from 2014 on.
Pat Symonds (Crashgate) leaves Marussia to join Williams as Technical Director.
Mike Coughlan (Spygate) leaves Williams, back to McLaren?
Daniel Ricciardo looks to be in pole position for RBR seat as he will test for both STR and RBR at the tyre tests in Silverstone.
Vergne will only test for STR.

Thanks, missed this info. Sauber is staying with Ferrari?
navanman, i do not think that Mclaren is so stupid to hire Coughlan again. He will probably end up in Sauber or in one of the lesser teams.
Codemasters already extended the current deal that was supposed to end this year.
That's looking pretty fucking good, I'd say. Almost a shame if it means Kimi is out of contention, but we'll see.
You'd have to say that RBR would almost be forfeiting any chance of getting constructors next year if they do go with Ricciardo (as much as I love the kid).
This is good thought - with all the changes I think that younger drivers will struggle much more compared to more experienced guys
