Always good to see the big teams giving youngsters a chance to show their stuff in an F1 car, even if it's just a test, good chance to see what the future of F1 looks like. For Zampieri and Zipoli, it's going to be quite a special outing getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari.by Team CLR - F1
Yeah, that'd be great, if that happens, I think it'll be a good decision on their part to stick with Sauber.by Team CLR - F1
Good to see my favourite team back in their TRUE guise. No Quadbak money involved, but still pretty good news, the cost cutting measurements should really work well in his favour. Unfortunately the team has been downsized, but I reckon the new teams will be very eager to aquire the personel, the experience that they'll bring will be vital.by Team CLR - F1
Frankly, IF he does join Mercedes, I wouldn't be surprised if it's more of a consultency role like what he has at Ferrari, rather than a driving one.by Team CLR - F1
If he does leave F1, I won't miss him much. His "McLaren or nothing" mentality spoke volumes, it's not like Heidfeld or Fissichella who aren't the quickest of drivers as such, but they were willing to even sign for a rear grid team just to stay in F1 and be a part of it. Whereas Kimi has more of a "yes, no, maybe" attitude, and I'm glad McLaren weren'tby Team CLR - F1

I don't know, I think it's more like buying a lottery ticket, and if it does turn out to be a good design, and there are no major rule changes, it could give whoever buys the design a solid base for their 2011 car.

Bridgestone and Firestone are two parts of the same company, if I recall correctly, Bridgestone owns Firestone.by Team CLR - F1

I like it too, it's better than just hearing the same old PR approved stuff race after race.by Team CLR - F1
I doubt it'll happen given that it's such short notice from Bridgestone, but I'd like to see a 3 (or more) way tire battle.by Team CLR - F1

Yeah, the commentators made some very good points about Kobayashi, and it does look like he really seems to "gel" well in F1. Lol at Button just before they went on to the podium, although it's suitability is questionable, (F1 is a family show afterall) it's actually quite interesting hearing the driver's open and honest thoughts on things.by Team CLR - F1
Loque, I thought so as well, it looks like one from a side view too. Wonder if someone was having a laugh in the design process and no-one noticed it.by Team CLR - F1

"Felipe Massa says he remains suspicious that Fernando Alonso did know about the deliberate crash plot at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix" That's a BIG difference to saying that Massa KNEW that Alonso knew for sure, I'm guessing it was just sensationalist headlining.by Team CLR - F1
Massa says he doubts he'll race at Abu Dhabi, but will be back at Interlagos, but not how we expect.. EC83, I agree, I think he's really going to come back stronger after all of this.by Team CLR - F1
Maybe a faint idea, because even once the car is produced, it's likely to undergo a good few changes/adjustments before the first race.by Team CLR - F1

It would be pretty ironic if Kimi DOES replace Webber who then goes to Renault. While Flav was boss of Renault, and Webber's manager, those rumours were always there, but would be ironic if Webber were to finally land up there only once Flav is out of F1 altogether.by Team CLR - F1
