yesterdays news but good to see McRae getting a drive in this years WRC of Wales. Trouble is, with Citroen & Peugeot pulling out, good seats next year will be rarer than a customs free delivery from Play-Asia. Prehaps I've missed some news, where is Loeb going next year ? or has nothing been announced yet.

Official confirmation of what we all already knew:
RB to be at BAR next season. Will share equal status with Button if JB stays or lead the team if JB goes.Comment

Did i miss someting? Does Rubens going to BAR mean Button is out? I cant see Honda wanting to out Sato...Comment
-
I was looking for official mention of Sato leaving too actually but there is no mention of it on any site.
Def looks like Sato is out if Button stays but I'm getting the feeling Button is going to have to go to Williams, maybe Sato will stay in that situation.
Williams have confirmed a Cosworth engine deal for next year saying that their experience with V8's will pay dividends as most other teams have little to no experience with them, I'm not so sure. Time will tell. As with all the F1 slow-down rule changes I'm sure the teams will get just the same performance and similar horsepower out of the new spec 2.4's.Comment

Flicking through the channels on Sky Sunday morning, I happened to spot a racing series that I'd not seen before; the GP2 racing. This race was at Istanbul, so I'm assuming it's a support race for the F1 stuff, but if so, why is coverage of this series so spartan?
It really was top stuff, 23 laps of exciting single seater racing, with loads of over-taking and scraps for position. After watching that stuff it would make the F1 race look pretty drab. Seems that the cars are 4 litre V8s with no traction control - it made for very entertaining sport in the wet.Comment

The way I understood it GP2 was just the rebranded F3000, or F2, or whatever the hell they were calling it last year.Comment
-
Right - is it actually a support race for F1, or was it just by chance they were at the same circuit this w/e?
The web site isn't really clear: http://www.gp2series.com/en/website/gp2series/Comment

Yeah it's a support series.Comment

GP2 I've seen about three races this year and yes the racing is close and very entertaining.
Thought the F1 this weekend was better, poor old Montoya eh, bet Kimi couldn't believe it, I still think Alonso will win it, can't seem Kimi winning all five remaining races which he needs to do basically - even if he does, then Alonso only needs five thirds.
Anyone know if the new A1 race series (which gets underway in a month) is getting Live TV coverage ?

I'm not sure either. After all, it's pretty hard to find a car journo that hasn't been drooling all over the V8 in the new Ferrari F430.Originally posted by Agent LComment

Is Kimi on his way to Ferrari ???

Do they purely see $$ signs when they talk about new deals? I wouldn't be signing up to join Ferrari and leave the best car this year just yet. Wait and see what happens next year I say.Comment

And is MS on his way to Macca in a driver swap for '07? Stranger things have happened, but most reckon it's just Weber trying to up the ante in contract negotiations for a new ferrari drive for his left Schu (he has two Schus, you see)

Just seen on the five live forums of all places that there hasn't been a wet race all season, hadn't realised myself tbh but can't quite believe it.
Would certainly spice things up a bit more, we need more spins!Comment
