British driver, British channel?

Local interest. Same reason Chilton ever gets a mention.
Because they get their engines from Mercedes, and di Resta has long been a Mercedes-backed driver. There's a chance there's a conflict there, as Eddie mentioned earlier in the weekend, so they tried to doorstep Whitmarsh with it to get an awkward reaction. It was successful.
Well, he finished all the races in this season

Good, Di Montezemolo deserves that, and a thorny cock up his upright arse.
Well, he was fightning with his Marussia all the time
Let's check constructors points for 2012 vs 2013 season
RBR 460 | 596
Merc 142 | 360
Ferrari 400 | 354
Lotus 303 | 315
Mclaren 378 | 122 (ouch)
Force I. 109 | 77
Sauber 126 | 57
STR 26 | 33
Williams 76 | 5 (ouch ouch)
It will be interesting before March, I think that we will have pretty unpleasant reveals on the beginning of January and quite interesting winter testing, starting on 28th of January in Jerez

McLaren helping Perez get a drive
Force India in debt and owe McLaren millions
Perez with $10M sponsorship
The rumoured Perez to Lotus announcement not happening
Mystic Ed saying Perez will join The Hulk at Force India
It's over for misery guts.

Random facts:
- Vettel's points alone could have secured the constructor title for RedBull
- Vettel could have sat out the first 8 races of the season and still win the drivers title
A magical season for Vettel and Red Bull.
Good for Mark to leave when he felt he was starting to slow down and mentally not in it. I've never been a huge fan but I do respect him.
Next season will be interesting to say the least however the elite teams will figure it out. Those expecting Red Bull to not be competitive should probably reset their expectations.
Looking forward now to seeing the driver shuffle finalize so we can have a proper offseason thread.

Nice one from Ferrari early before the race:
They're happy he's leaving?
Harsh, but ever since the accident he just hasn't been consistent. They need those Kimi points to lock in 2nd next year.
edit: Better not be a SC start...

Sounds cool. Literally.
Next year may be more of the same. Can you imagine Vettel 2 seconds in front after lap 1 in Australia 2014? I can...

I really, really, really doubt that Renault's engine is going to be as good as Mercedes', though I'm prepared to be wrong.
"Biography

Aged 10, started surfing at the beach of Barra, in Rio. Shortly thereafter, she attended the championships brand.[1][2] In 1989 she won her first world title at Sandy Beach in Hawaii, the amateur bodyboarding championship.

She's also a TV host, and a very good one! The poor girl was just nervous, having to speak in english to the whole world. Sebastian didn't helped her either.

More sites reporting The Hulk and Perez to Force India.
Wolff says Honda are trying to poach Mercedes engineers.

On the eve of the end of the V8 generation in F1, released some great information on their engine design.
Would be great to see from this from the other engine manufacturers also.

So Maldonado and Grosjean at Lotus? I really can't see them kicking Grosjean out, he has developed so much this past year.

Let's do this again new year
Ha ha, I wait till the last race to get a decent result. Mind you I think I've only changed my predictions once since the summer break.
Can't wait to see the replay tonight, 3am to 5am was a little late for me.

10th place. Not bad considering I haven't changed the lineup in months.
We've had one or two mods post during the season.
Just a reminder, we do have a new thread. This thread is long overdue for a lock so let's stick to that one.
