Rosberg is the man! Absolutely love him! Hopefully Williams can keep improving and get back to winning ways again!
Spa should be so good! It's a shame they messed about with the bustop corner though.
Any ideas as to who Ferrari will choose as the next driver? It can't be Badoer, surely?

Well it seems that Alonso is moving to ferrari, not sure when though. I suppose they could bring him in and keep Raikonnen until the end of the season. Bit harsh on Kimi though, but he's acted strangely at times (earlier in the season) so perhaps this has been on the cards for a while.
Seriously, Alonso at Ferrari will be so, so good!
You're dead right about Kimi. I was gobsmacked when he was lounging around not 5 minutes after the red flag in Malaysia! (Was it Malaysia where it rained crazily?) I know it was probably a protest to the stewards to have the race abandoned, but he was stripped off and out the door! Everyone else at least had the professionalism/patience to wait in the car, should the race be re-started.
Alonso will give them that bite they need I think. Would Renault allow Alonso to go half way through a season though?
Seems like Kimi isn't trying too hard, maybe because Massa's there to pick up the slack? As soon as Massa's out of the game though, he gets back on the podium.
I wonder if someone like Toyota would pick up Kimi, since Trulli's ride is at risk now. I wonder if they'd even sponsor him for WRC at the same time?
Seems like Fisichella from Force India has moved to Ferrari for the remainder of the season, (replacing Luca Badoer) with Liuzzi possibly being promoted from test-driver to F1.

It's an interesting turn of events, given Fisi got 2nd place for Force India in Belgium. I was hoping FI could build on that and gain some more points (perhaps even a win?).
Good move for Ferrari though, I had heard Luca Badoer has been called "Luca Do-you-know-how-bad-u-ar?" by some presumably anti-ferrari fans.
ha... Renault's been accused of fixing races.

That sucks. Renault could be excluded permanently. I'm very disappointed but if that really happened, they deserve it.

alonso is under heavy pressure imo, because its not believable that he doesnt know anything about crashgate
I dont believe ferrari or any other club will be very interested in alonso as long as there is a shadow on him and he has already a bad past track of such things which makes him very suspicious

The Alonso deal to go to Ferrari is essentially a done deal, and I think Alonso can keep himself out of trouble with this current enquiry.
The key to pulling off such cheating would be to tell the absolute minimum of people, in order to make the reactions of the other crew believable.
[edit] this is a bit of a kick in the teeth for FOTA aswell isn't it? They'll be in a much weaker position without Briatore around.

I don't think Alonso knew anything. It doesn't make sense that he would talk about it on camera to Flavio immediately after the race.
Hi, I just thought I'd pop in and interrupt your serious conversation with the chocolate powered Formula 3 car (audio appears to work fine outside the UK).

That's amusing. And it only costs 560k euros (instead of 2 millions euros).
Jean Todt elected new FIA president. He beat Ari Vatanen to the post. Either one would have been good I think. They both have a lot of experience. Todt has just more experience in F1.

Minor problems for me are that he's a good friend of Max, and that he was such a prominent figure for Ferrari.
I just hope those things don't cloud his judgement, and that he can make F1 more reputable.
Also: Button and Hamilton at Mclaren next year?

That is really cool - thank you for sharing that! I love that it is fully able to compete!
Also, Button in the McLaren would be amazing if they can keep the car competitive. I wonder how Hamilton would feel about that! It would be real competition for him.
It will be really interesting to see who ends up where!
