    If you have Steam then F1 Race Stars (the Mario Kart-style one) is currently half price (£14) in one of their flash sales, but only until 10PM (GMT) this evening.

    Hollywood actor Sir Patrick Stewart tells the enthralling story of Sir Stirling Moss's glittering race career. The pair travel to Florence in a classic Gull Wing Mercedes to retrace the route of Italy's most famous road race, the Mille Miglia, and discuss how Stirling's near-fatal crash may have been the best thing that ever happened to him. Yet how will Sir Patrick cope with the raw power of the era when he drives a 1957 Formula 1 car at the scene of Stirling's historic British Grand Prix victory?

    On BBC 2 tonight @ 8

    Some news about Ferrari's driver academy:

    • Bianchi needs to get into F1 next year. Baldiserri says "that is fundamental for our project, that he achieves this target: it could see him have a great future in Red.”
    • Baldiserri says that by the time Perez had signed for McLaren, he had already left the academy
    • Brandon Maisano was kicked out of the academy - he finished third this year in the Italian F3 Championship
    • Lance Stroll and Raffaele Marciello have been retained
    • Marciello finished 2nd in Euro F3 - next year he will try again
    • Antonio Fuoco is the latest FDA signing
    • For 2013, there will be some changes in the integration of working methods of youngsters from the FDA and the Federation School.

    Good post, EMSC,
    In the long run, your question has a simple answer: yes…

    Just how this will work out I do not know but there is another thing I am concerned about in the long term – and I deliberately call it a 'thing': Briatore.


    If Briatore, di Montezemolo and Ferrari get together whilst an ex-Ferrari sycophant sits at the helm of the FIA, F1 is likely to slip back into the bad old days of not so long ago. And if this happens, I truly hope F1 will be challenged by a very
    serious alternative.

    Briatore should never again be allowed to have a voice in F1. It would be nice if Ecclestone could see the value in this before he takes leave of this world…

    Looks like Ferrari are after Hulk and RBR are now just doing what Ferrari are doing with Seb by stirring the pot and cause some damage.
