Marc it was a misunderstood there, Rubens got drunk and started saying MS was homo , Felipe had nothing to do with it, in fact the ppl say he seemed pretty embarrassed with the scene

Basically yes.

:D

I love the evidence Bruninho uses to support his theory.

By that logic everybody who isn't in front of a camera is most definitely a prick.

I'd love to say if anyone is a "prick" then it is Bruninho... Oh dear... can't say that, I'll get banned.

Oh wait..

Felipe wasn't exactly a #2 in 2006. He was just another driver who drove what he could, he couldn't really challenge Schumi and won the occasional race fair and square without team orders. Schumacher was vastly superior to Felipe, even if Felipe had wanted he'd not have been able to be a true #2 in the sense Rubinho was by letting Schumi by.

In 2007 he was still improving over his inconsistent driving and his accidents with DC were just racing accidents. Neither of them likes to back out of something and DC was already turning into the drama man himself by pushing 50-50 moments on Felipe. Felipe is not a saint but he's not dishonest, Melbourne was another racing thing and he lost control and as we saw he spun around and did a Ralf kiss on the wall.

Lastly, Jim was around Felipe when there weren't people talking to him. There were some taking pictures but even in parking lots he talks to fans, where there are no tv cameras on testing.

Well... there are plenty of people around to talk to a driver when he's sitting at the pitwall Gui

Di grassi will test for Honda in 2 weeks :P

2009 may be the last year of the Chinese GP, at least for the Shanghai track :D.

Too much investment, too little tickets sold and the lack of interest of sponsors. The race promoters admitted they may not renew the contract with F1 for 2010. The main sponsor already threatened not to renew their deal for 2009, which brings up doubts regarding the future of the race.

Woooooooo !

Sebastien Loeb is testing with red bull, i dont know if he will go to f1 in 09

He won't. This is a mere publicity stunt, not so different from his test with Renault at Paul Ricard.

He doesn't expect to land a drive from this, and he's probably happiest owning at WRC.

Fingers crossed to see Shanghai being axed from the 2010 calendar. :P

why?

---

because its a dull, boring, and irritating snooze fest tilkedrome.

Plus its a track with no character at all.

---

whoa! u really really really really hate shanghai circuit

---

Why not? It's not that good at all. The facilities may be good, but that doesn't improve the racing.

Shanghai only provides interesting races when it rains, or when the drain covers come loose.
Having said that I hope they don't axe it till they've lined up a race to replace it. The way things are going we'll soon be back down to 16 races each season.

Looks like Brazil was the last race for Fissi unless he can get himself a drive with STR.

Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

fisi's still a better bet than Sutil - unless they don't want to run two experienced drivers (if they choose PDLR)
