Woot, thanks aln. 1st post btw :)

Piquet is still hoping for a comeback... I really think he burned all his bridges with F1 though.

Nelson Piquet Jr hopes to continue his Formula One career with the Campos team when the Spanish outfit enters the sport in 2010, but admits that he might not fit the profile team bosses are looking for.

Fellow countryman Bruno Senna has been confirmed as a Campos driver next season, and the prospect of having two famous family names such as Senna and Piquet teaming up is more than enough to stir up good memories within Brazil's passionate F1 fans.

"I would be absolutely delighted, it would be marvellous for the Brazilian public," Piquet said, as reported by France's Auto Hebdo. "All depends on the team now, but they seem to be looking for a Spanish driver."

The former Renault team member was speaking from the fifth annual International Challenge of Stars karting event, which Felipe Massa – another fellow Brazilian – organises.

Volkswagen Considering Formula 1 Participation

WOLFSBURG, Germany — As Formula 1 reels from the loss of three participating auto manufacturers in the past 12 months, Volkswagen is considering its first venture into the world's premier form of motorsport.

VW representative Hans-Joachim Stuck told Autosport magazine the company would not be interested in becoming a partner with a team but would consider acting as an engine supplier for customer teams.

Between December 2008 and November 4 of this year, Honda, BMW and Toyota all quit the sport. All three fielded works teams representing their brands.

However, at least three new teams will join competition next season. As many as 26 or even 28 cars may be competing in 2010, compared with 20 in 2009.

Stuck confirmed that an expanded F1 grid creates opportunities for engine suppliers and that VW would be interested, but not before 2012, he asserted.

Stuck compared the expansion to the days when he was a racing driver.

"I followed Formula 1 for the last seven years with BMW, and I always asked myself on the grid, with only 20 cars, what if we could have 30 cars? Now we're getting back to this," he told Autosport.

Inside Line says: Stuck insists that auto manufacturers should concentrate on developing engines rather than fielding factory teams in racing. — David Green, Correspondent

AAAAAALFYYYYYYYY will you do another remake of this if we finish ahead of your holy team? ;)

So Renault has been allowed to field a team and provide engines? I'm guessing Virgin is no longer a Brawn sponsor? Any word on a tire (Tyre) supplier as yet?

Paul.

OMG, is that Massa with spray on tan? i didnt know he could sing.
i understand he wants to be like hamilton and all. since hamilton >massa, but he didnt have to pick the darkest spray on tan. we accept him as he is.

I've seen nothing on tires/tyres yet.

Massa: Hi alnoso,want to come ride for a charity event?

Alsono: Hell no!

Massa: but its for a noble cause

Alsonso: are points involved? Do i also get a world championship trophy?

Massa : um lol what? its for a charity event.

Alsonso: will you let me get 1st place?

Massa : lmao, dude just dont come.

http://www.worldcarfans.com/10911302...ace-invitation



Felipe Massa has revealed that he invited his 2010 Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso to contest the weekend's charity kart race International Challenge of the Stars.

The event, won for the second time by Michael Schumacher, was also contested by F1 figures including Rubens Barrichello, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Nelson Piquet and Lucas di Grassi.

Massa, who flew by plane back to Sao Paulo after the race because his wife is imminently expecting their baby, said he wanted Spaniard Alonso to feature on the 2009 entry list.

"I invited Alonso to come here," he is quoted as saying by the Spanish news agency EFE. "Not only this year, but also in previous years.

"I hope he sees it is an interesting competition and that next year he comes," Massa, 28, added.

Some of Massa's more recent comments have indicated that Ferrari's new Latin lineup is likely to be a fiery one, but the Brazilian said he thinks he and Alonso will share a "good relationship away from the tracks".

"Alonso is a great driver, everybody knows that," he continued. "I believe we can be the best pairing in the championship."

But Massa, while insisting Alonso will be "good for the team", does not think the double world champion's arrival will change his own status within Ferrari.

"I don't think Alonso changes anything on my side or within Ferrari," he said.

It looks like Bridgestone is in it for the 2010 season. It's the 2011 and beyond that is up for grabs.

One by One, Companies Claim No F1 Interest

It would be interesting to see Kumho step up to the game.

i wish we can have multiple tire companies again.

Here is an article that asks for people to express their opinion on that topic.
http://www.tyrepress.com/118/18198.html

Multiple tires? yes but they have to have the possibility to design the cars on the new tires or we will see other discrepancies between a team or another.
This would require more tests!

As in Ferrari & Bridgestone or McLaren & Michelin?
I don't like the idea. As I said before, tire wars lead to tires that leave behind crud off line. That prevents passing. With the refueling ban, they should make them race with tires that will finish the event.

You're right in that regard but this would force two manufacturers to split the costs and engineer some good tires!
The problem with not knowing the tire's specs is that you can build the best car in the world but it will eventually drive like crap and finish behind crappy car that like that particular rubber.
With testing bans etc chaning the manufacturer is a major issue!

Dude you just made my morning golden! :)

Sauber secures final 2010 grid slot

Sauber has been granted the final place on next year’s Formula 1 grid – finally securing the team’s future after months of uncertainty in the wake of BMW’s withdrawal from the sport.

After the planned sale to investment group Qadbak fell through, BMW announced last Friday that it had sold the Hinwil-based squad back to its founder Peter Sauber, but the deal was contingent on the team being guaranteed an entry in next year’s world championship.

BMW had initially forfeited its place when it declined to sign the new Concorde Agreement – committing teams to F1 until 2012 – but Toyota’s announcement last month that it would be quitting the sport with immediate effect appeared to have handed it a lifeline.

Sauber was still in limbo, however, as the FIA stated on Monday that Toyota had yet to extract itself from its contractual obligations.

There were reports that the Japanese manufacturer might try to sell on its entry in a bid to avoid any legal ramifications, possibly to Serbian organisation Stefan GP, which was one of the teams rejected by the FIA in the initial decision over 2010 entries six months ago.

But Toyota has instead relinquished its entry and the FIA confirmed on Thursday that it has handed the coveted 13th slot to Sauber.

“The FIA has written to inform BMW Sauber AG that their application for an entry in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship has been successful,” said a statement from the governing body.

“Subject to their signing the Concorde Agreement, BMW Sauber will be awarded the 13th entry in the championship, taking the place of the departing Toyota team.

“The FIA has worked closely with the Commercial Rights Holder and the teams involved over recent weeks and is grateful for their support in achieving the best outcome for the sport.

“An updated Formula 1 entry list will be published in due course.”

Raikkonen signs switch to WRC with Citroën

http://www.f1technical.net/images/ne...aikkonen-2.jpgEx-Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen will compete for Citroen in the World Rally Championship next season, the team announced Friday. After leaving Ferrari at the end of 2009, the 2007 champion will compete in rallies for Citroen's Red Bull-backed Junior Team in 2010.

"For the moment we have a one-year contract and we will see how it goes for the future," Raikkonen said in a statement. "I am really looking forward to testing the car and taking the start of the first rally."

Raikkonen already took part in one WRC race in 2009 during a break between F1 races, and had long been an enthusiast of a sport that has a strong pedigree of Finnish champions. Next year he will be able to compete in all rallies, except for the Rally of New Zealand, one that his team is not competing in.

Raikkonen will partner French driver Sebastien Ogier in the Citroen Junior Team next year.

"I always wanted to compete in rally, especially in the World Rally Championship at some point in my career," said Raikkonen. "Thanks to Red Bull, I have the opportunity to drive the best car of the series with the Citroen C4. This is a new but very exciting challenge."

Following confirmation of his departure from Ferrari, Raikkonen and his management were involved in talks about a move back to his former team McLaren. However McLaren ultimately signed 2009 world champion Jenson Button to partner Lewis Hamilton in 2010.

Raikkonen said he was not prepared to join a weaker team, and elected to take a sabbatical from F1 in 2010, holding out the possibility of a quick return the following season.

Renault board juggles offers for F1 team

Renault's management will make a call next week on how to offload its beleaguered F1 team into private hands.

Renault has long been thought of as the manufacturer most likely to pull the plug on its F1 program, but it has remained involved as Honda, BMW and Toyota all withdrew from the sport.

The Piquet cheating scandal has done little for the company's image, but it's thought that Renault did not want to be seen making a hasty retreat in the aftermath of the affair. However, what it did do was block what has always been the most likely exit scenario--Renault handing the team, or selling it for a nominal amount, to Flavio Briatore.

The French company is considering two proposals, one from David Richards of Prodrive and one from the Genii Capital Group, run by Luxembourg-based entrepreneur Gerard Lopez. Richards ran the team in its Benetton days for a brief period before Briatore returned to favor. He has been looking for a way to have his own entry but has been keen to do it at a sensible cost. Richards also runs Aston Martin and is expected to rebrand the team after two more years with Renault power. He has strong backing from Kuwait.

Genii has investments in a variety of fields and made business headlines in the United States earlier this year with a failed bid to buy the bankrupt Polaroid company. Lopez also runs Gravity Sports Management, a company that manages a group of promising young drivers including Adrien Tambay, Ho-Pin Tung (who tested for Renault this week) and Jerome d'Ambrosio.

It's said that the team in Enstone favors the Richards bid, while Paris prefers the Genii offer.

Silverstone secures British GP

http://www.f1technical.net/images/news/silverstone.jpgThe historic circuit of Silverstone has secured the British Grand Prix from 2010 after long negotiations with Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone. Silverstone was set to lose the race as Mr. E signed a 17-year deal with Donington Park, but the track failed to raise the funds to carry out a redevelopment project.

British Racing Drivers' Club President Damon Hill said: "The title of Silverstone as home of motorsport has come true. It is a place for all motorsport. Everyone in the BRDC loves motorsport and we are looking forward to the MotoGP as well as the British Grand Prix.

"It is not easy to enter into a contract of this magnitude and you have to take on a lot of responsibility, but the BRDC wanted this relationship to continue.

"Everyone was well aware that the British GP is not just a sporting event, but it is dynamo of the industry in this country. Losing it would have been damaging and perhaps there would have been no coming back."

Hamilton relieved British Grand Prix is saved

http://images.gpupdate.net/newsnew/141576.jpgOn Monday morning the British Racing Drivers' Club revealed that the British Grand Prix at Silverstone has been saved for the upcoming 17 years. Former British Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton was happy to hear the 'fantastic news'.

"Firstly, it's fantastic news that the British Grand Prix will stay on the calendar for 2010," said Hamilton. "Secondly, it's great that the race will be at Silverstone. The place has an atmosphere that money can't buy, and I have some fantastic memories of the track - winning both races in GP2 in 2006, getting an incredibly emotional and satisfying pole in '07 and winning in the wet in my championship year.

"Most importantly, those achievements have all been underlined by the reaction and support of the Silverstone crowd, which has always been fantastic. British fans are the greatest Formula 1 supporters in the world - and this must be the best Christmas present they could ever ask for.

"I can't wait to come home to the Santander British Grand Prix next year: both Jenson and I will be flying the flag for Britain and doing our best to win the race."

13 F1 Teams to Unveil 2010 Cars in Joint Launch

MONACO (AP) -All 13 Formula One teams will unveil their 2010 cars in a joint launch next month in Valencia, Spain.

Mercedes GP chief executive Nick Fry said Thursday the launch will be "a proper event."

The date for the launch has not yet been decided, but is set to take place just before the first testing session of the season at the Cheste Circuit in Valencia.

I can really care less if Michael comes back . I really didnt care for him , i know he is like suppose to be Jesus of F1. But he is a false prophet, we know who the real jesus is (hamilton).

i prefered Mika Häkkinen over the shoe.

http://www.worldcarfans.com/10912112...or-schu-return

any how TIME FOR SOME NEWSSSSS!!!!!!!

Mercedes is reportedly proposing to pay Michael Schumacher 7 million euros if he agrees to return to F1 as Nico Rosberg's teammate in 2010.

Bild newspaper said the offer, which is the same one offered to Jenson Button prior to the new world champion's switch to McLaren, will be made by the German marque's competition boss Norbert Haug.

Schumacher, 40, made much more money at Ferrari until 2006, and still makes 5m a year as an advisor to the Italian team, but Bild said Mercedes cannot afford to offer the German any more.

Niki Lauda told the newspaper he is certain "money will not play a role" in Schumacher's decision about whether to re-launch his 16-year F1 career.

Mercedes team chief executive Nick Fry said at the Motor Sport Business Forum in Monaco on Thursday that an announcement about Rosberg's teammate is not likely before Christmas.

"We might say something before Christmas, but it's more likely to be the beginning of January," he is quoted as saying by the Times.

FIA proposes new points system

http://www.f1technical.net/images/news/2009/fia.jpg During yesterday's F1 commission meeting, the first since Jean Todt was voted FIA president, the members agreed to the name change request that the Brawn team filed. Along with that, it presented a completely new points system.

The FIA today hosted the first meeting of the F1 Commission in its new structure since the signing of the 2009 Concorde Agreement. Chaired by Commission President Bernie Ecclestone and with FIA President Jean Todt in attendance, the F1 Commission is made up of key championship stakeholders from F1 teams, promoters, suppliers and sponsors.

The F1 Commission agreed that the Brawn team will be allowed to change its chassis name from Brawn to Mercedes. The team will continue to receive payments based on its historical performance. This has been granted on a one-off exceptional basis due to Mercedes-Benz’s long-term involvement and commitment to Formula One.

The F1 Commission also proposed a number of amendments to the sporting and technical regulations, which will be put to the FIA World Motor Sport Council for final approval tomorrow morning. They include:


- Due to the expanded grid of 13 teams, a new points system for the 2010 season:

1st: 25 points
2nd: 20 points
3rd: 15 points
4th: 10 points
5th: 8 points
6th: 6 points
7th: 5 points
8th: 3 points
9th: 2 points
10th: 1 point

- A strong mandate has been given to the Sporting Working Group, a sub-committee of the F1 Commission made up of the FIA and F1 teams, to develop detailed proposals to improve the show. These will take effect from the 2010 championship.

- The FIA and FOM will further collaborate to enhance the communication and promotion of the championship to the media and its worldwide fanbase.

The next meeting of the Formula One Commission will be held on 10 March in Bahrain.

Thats a good change, makes the wait a lot easier.

LovelyMissy cam

A new era under mr. todt? :)

i cant wait to see Brawn new design, since they are with cedes.

Who will you be a fan of? the messiah or the mercedes now? :)
Your poor little heart must be broken in 2 pieces now!

sounds like things ought to be interesting next year. sad to see Toyota leave, but i'll get over it. the only thing that kind of bothers me is Alonso at Ferrari. he's a great driver, no question, but there's too much drama surrounding him and i'd hate to see my team get caught in something like the Renault fiasco.

Shixt what you have been smoking lately man :dunno: of course its going to be messiah. just the current look for brawn was not happening for me. so seeing a cedes sponsored brawn car, hopefully looks better.

you just made polo mad.

Your humor meter must be a bit off :bootyshak
Anyway i'm glad that you're going to stay with the messiah, you loyal fan!
What if schumi joins mercedes? i will probably tilt and explode :(

The 2010 race calendar has gone official. Post #2 has been updated.

You know this might be wishful thinking... but I really do believe Schumi will drive the other Mercedes car.

And Mercedes vs McLaren vs Ferrari with top drivers in all the cars. Well the latino boys over in the red cars might be a bit too emotional to always drive properly but I predict very exciting races never the less.

Yes, do you imagine Alonso saying "yeah, i could have won but i was crying so much i couldn't see the road" :evil_laug

German press say Schumacher agrees Mercedes deal

With the exception of an actual signature on the dotted line, Michael Schumacher has reportedly agreed to return to F1 with Mercedes in 2010.

The news magazine Focus as well as the major German daily Bild revealed on Saturday that the 40-year-old, who retired as a Ferrari race driver in 2006, will be Nico Rosberg's teammate.

Bild said a one-year deal has been agreed verbally, and talks about withdrawing from his new consulting contract with Ferrari have been positive.

Focus, whose report was made available ahead of publication on Monday, said whether Schumacher actually signs the contract also depends on the go-ahead of doctors.

A source told Bild: "The signature is just a formality. Schumacher feels fit and healthy. The latest (medical) tests were entirely positive.

"He can't wait for the return and working with Ross Brawn again."

An announcement could be made as early as next week, and Focus said the deal is for 3.5m euros -- about a tenth of Schumacher's retainer when he hung up his helmet with Ferrari.

A longer-term objective is for the German to be an ambassador for the Mercedes brand, the magazine added.

The seven time world champion's spokeswoman Sabine Kehm told DPA news agency she did not want to comment, and his manager Willi Weber told SID that he was "as in the dark as the press".

"I don't know anything about it," Weber added. "I have not spoken with Mercedes, nor do I have any meetings with them."

http://www.motorsport.com/news/article.asp?ID=353681:F1

A previous article says that, for Michael, it isn't about the money. He has that.

Ahhh, what is this... the worst silly season ever or what?!

I so hope for Schumi's return. He has the skill to still be competetive, which he has shown in kart-racing, race of champions etc.

And the lineups for this year is awesome in the big teams. I really look forward to seeing Button and Hamilton hammer out the internal pecking order in McLaren. And Massa+Alsonso in Ferrari. It will be good for chuckles and dramatic headlines if nothing else. And Schumi and Rosberg driving for Mercedes. I think Rosberg is one of the most under-valued drivers out there. The way he has handled that inferior Williams car, well he should be up among the big names in the fast cars :)

no buddy, we hamilton follwers dont have a sense of humor. do you even know that the world ends in 2012? do you know how serious that is? So we dont have time to joke around here buddy.

I am on full time duty making a underground shelter for the Messiah. Making sure he is well protected by the sun flares, Aliens invasion etc. THis is a serious matter, and not a time for joking. We only have 3 more years to prepare. So time is a serious matter, and its very useless spending it joking around budddy. I understand ferrari fans dont have someone to lead them, but dotn bring us down buddy.

While your running around with your head cutoff, us hamilton fans will be protecting the Messiah till dec 22nd, the day after dec 21 st.

:worship: Epic!

This is one of the funniest things I've seen on the forum in a while; I mean serious things rather. :yelrotflm

Ferrari wouldn't hold Schumacher to his multi year contract

As Chairman for Ferrari, Luca di Montezemolo has shared his companies point of view regarding the rumoured return to racing by Michael Schumacher in 2010 via the Mercedes GP squad. When asked by 'Reuters' if Ferrari would hold Schumacher to his multi year consultancy contract di Montezemolo responded, "No, it's not binding."

"It's clear that, if he decides to take another road, our agreement will no longer be valid - that is logical. You can't work with a competitor and with us at the same time," said di Montezemolo.

Adding, "I still haven't spoken to him about it. He is only a dear friend, not a team member. He is a consultant for our road cars."

http://www.f1technical.net/news/1389...le+Feedfetcher plus many other sources

Do you think Ferrari doesn't think he is a threat anymore?

Well i just got a letter from the Messiah, And this is what he said.

Being a Hamilton fan has very great benefits, but please get a life.

now what i think he meant was , But please live your life.

Which i can see the messiah saying, because he is so caring . He also sent back my paper mache statue of him. i think he feels that i should have it, since i put in the all the hard to make it. See this is why i hamilton is the chosen one, he cares so much about his fans.

Dude,

You have me crying with laughter (Over this serious issue):rofl:.
