Alonso won twice at Bahrain as well (05, 06). So they are pretty evenly matchedby Joe_Satriani - F1
I thought Di Grassi did a pretty solid time last week. 1:22.9 if I'm not mistaken...was faster than Toro Rosso.by Joe_Satriani - F1

From what I understood, the plan is to have the Rome GP in addition to Monza.by Joe_Satriani - F1
Well, I wouldn't be sad to see this race go to be honest. If we get a better one, then it's fine.by Joe_Satriani - F1
Yes, I know many don't think so, but from the current crop, Di Grassi seems to me the better one from the brazillian pilots. I hope he does well in F1. Rodrigo, you read Grande PrĂªmio as well?by Joe_Satriani - F1
I think that the best would be 20-14-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Emphasis on the win, and the 1st place gets an even number of points. I don't like the way they proposed.by Joe_Satriani - F1
I personally am glad that Silverstone is staying...the donnington thing never really caught my attention.by Joe_Satriani - F1
Nice! Canada is always a nice crazy race :Dby Joe_Satriani - F1
Hopefully they'll produce a nice liveryby Joe_Satriani - F1
That sucks. I had good hopes of Kimi going to Mercedes.by Joe_Satriani - F1
Regardless of what people think, Kimi still is a world champion, and a 1st class driver, not to mention a very nice change of pace in terms of personality in the paddock. I know most people find him boring because of his interviews, but I often get a laugh from his off track antics Something that cannot be said of most of the other drivers. I hope there's truth to the report from Lito thby Joe_Satriani - F1
Such a shame...well, I wish luck in his next endeavors...F1 will miss him.by Joe_Satriani - F1
If what is written there is true, then it's a bad day for F1. I can't believe Kimi will not have a ride for next year O_Oby Joe_Satriani - F1
I read somewhere that Toyota would not close the factory. They were going to downsize the staff and start a programme in Le Mans maybe.by Joe_Satriani - F1
I guess each team works in a different way. McLaren said that continuing to develop this year's car would help a lot on next year's, since whatever solutions they found this year could be applied to the next, even if rules will change a bit. Ferrari I think just don't think the car had a good concept to begin with and are probably beginning again. I think small teams prefer to wby Joe_Satriani - F1
Yep, if Kimi goes to McLaren again he should be in really good shape. This year reminded me a lot of him in 2004. Also, McLaren is in similar shape...maybe the next mp4/20 is coming next yearby Joe_Satriani - F1
Interesting comments from the Hamilton family today: Maybe something is already done contract wise then.by Joe_Satriani - F1
ROFL, I really hope Kimi gets a drive at McLaren. F1 needs a chap like him. Today he was asked why he was not interested in going to Toyota, to which he promptly replied: "It is not cool to drive bad cars." Source:by Joe_Satriani - F1

ROFL! Well, that sounds promising at least. Let's see if it pans out.by Joe_Satriani - F1
Hope Kimi gets into the podium...long shot, but would be cool to see him on the podium one last time...after all, we don't know if he is staying or notby Joe_Satriani - F1

I agree...I think putting the car on 6th after being caught on fire and having petrol hitting the eyes and having to re-start at the back of the grid is a huge achievement. I doubt many other drivers would be able to do it.by Joe_Satriani - F1
Let's not forget that Interlagos is a lot shorter than most other tracks, so of course the difference would get smaller here.by Joe_Satriani - F1
The only cool part is the pitlane exit...the rest looks really bland.by Joe_Satriani - F1
Trulli and Heidfeld would be an interesting pairing at Toyota me thinks...by Joe_Satriani - F1
I think we should end up having a few new strategies for tyres though...since fuel loads will always be close, the tyre situation should be a lot more flexible.by Joe_Satriani - F1
