Right, but as far as the drivers go one has clearly outperformed the other.

No shock Vettel is leaving. He has no faith in Renault and Red Bull's design and driver program is about youth. Christian Horner flat out said they would not hire Alonso.

Kyvat and Ricciardo are the perfect pair. Daniel if he is successful will be gone in 3-5 years. Thats the Red Bull model as evidenced in Toro Rosso.

Kimi is lack luster and over paid. Massa was a better investment in terms of points and salary. The cool factor for Kimi is long gone and frankly he should go along with Alonso.

Kimi is severely over rated and has a title handed to him by Mclaren. I like Kimi but he is not in the same league as Alonso. Not many are of course.

Nice summary of today's big driver news here: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/formula1/29487931

I'm guessing we'll see boat races down the pit lane before long....

Man, it's a red flag on lap 3. I don't think I can stay awake much longer.



*okay, restart in ten minutes.

Crazy race. Lots of news out there if you didnt see it.

Here is a nice summary of the Vettel/Alonso moves etc -

Yes..Yes... Hamilton for the win... Great race but with sad ending..

Nice to see Robert Kubika back on the driving wheel of a Ford Fiesta rally car at World European Rally. Ended up 2nd at Austrian rally.

I hope he goes back to F1 he could be a good replacement to mama's boy S.Vettel.
Just saying.

Just this today. Terrible pictures of the site are going around, but I have yet to see the video footage.

Prayers for Jules Bianci who had that horrendous crash at Suzuka Sunday. I read he has "diffuse ayonal injury". Apparently a serious brain injury that from what I read, 90% remain unconscious and the 10% who become conscious are severely impaired.

One statement I'm holding on to for some hope is: "Top Gear TV presenter Richard Hammond is a good example of a patient who made a recovery from a diffuse axonal injury and he woke up after around one week." I understand it will probably be a long and tough road back to some sense of normalcy. He is young enough and fit enough to have a fighting chance though.

tough to watch but here it is

Yeah, saw it yesterday sadly. Amazing that he wasn't decapitated.

^ how did that happen? I assume yellow caution flag was ON before this accident?

Alonso not sure where he is going!
