Gearbox change, something similar to Lewis' issue at Singapore they reckon.

Typhoons? Then yeah I assume it's too dangerous.

 

So hang on if they cancel the race because of weather would that not mean most of the challengers for the championship would be out of the reckoning?

 

I'm sure they will just run it at another date if they have to cancel it.

 

*cynicism mode*

That depends.

Running it at another date would not help Alonso. Also, Japan's race fee is probably not as high as Bahrain's.

 

Ahh ****

I know they have to stop the teams from pushing their luck and using a different one every race but it just seems such a cheap way to affect the result.

 

Looks like Jaime was talking **** about being 100% coming back to F1: http://www.caranddriverthef1.com/fo...i-digo-hasta-nunca-f1-no-gusta-parado-22-anos

He has no contract, nothing! zilch!

Though he believed it was Sauber that would pick him... He even (in way) blames Seb for his exit since he had to match what Seb did in 2008.


Hopefully that means Kamui will be safe then!

 

Thanks for posting the interview but I didn't get the bit about blaming Vettel. Were you reading Spanish or a translation? I hope Sauber pick him, or Kyle's tip Force India. I think he deserves better than Caterham, really.

 

Read it again and I agree with you, doesn't sound like he was blaming Seb but using it as reference that F1 over the years isn't the same for everybody when in the same team. Though he quickly used "Newey" as the reason why he possibly didn't get into F1 for longer, it's probably what got me on a tangent.

Schuey still "motivated" and has been offered a management role within Merc and is still looking at the Sauber drive.

 

Keep driving, even though some people say he is a "danger to the sport", as if he is the only driver to make mistakes.
He is fit, make the most out of that Michael.

Hulk to Ferrari?

Jordan Irvine ‏@IrvineF1
So #Ferrari has not re-signed Massa yet, and Hulkenberg news could come out as early as today...

 

PDLR will still be at HRT next season, Karthikeyan's seat is (just like last year) not confirmed.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/103011

 

I expect PDLR to be the worst driver on the grid next year. He is starting to flake now.

 

Fernando has been reported to have said: "Schumacher could of won 3 times in that Sauber this year so far."

Me thinks Ferrari doesn't like Perez anymore...

 

Let's be honest, he's not there to drive the HRT quickly, he's there to make the HRT faster. In that respect, he's one of the best drivers on the grid, so long as he's given a team-mate who can extract the car's potential.

NK can't really do that you see

 

Why don't they like Perez, they never gave him the opportunity to go to Ferrari, and why would Alonso say that about Michael.
If he would win in a Sauber (Malaysia 2012 for instance), wouldn't that make him a match for Fernando in the first place?
Sour grapes from Ferrari if this is true.

 

Is it possible that Fernando feels a little threatened by Checo? Maybe the "inexperienced" tag was a smoke screen for a veto by Alonso.

 

When Ferrari get fed up with Alonso, the next boy might be Perez, after the couple of titles he wins already.
