    He's a right-winger who supports the EU, he's practically fraternising with the enemy!

    As Nissan And Renault are basically the same entity these days, it will just be a rebadging exercise, probably aimed at the US market.

    Inifiniti cars are **** in the UK, may a sign of things to come for RBR..............

    Bloody ending nearly brought a tear to my eye, and this video somehow makes me feel sorry for Fernando.

    And then when you read the article beyond that headline, he didn't say that - sheesh, these journos!

    Lewis Hamilton joins BBC Sport's Formula 1 line-up as a columnist

    ...This could be interesting, and with Hamilton able to respond could Benson actually calm down?

    Seriously? I'm sure it'll bring in traffic to the BBC but it doesn't interest me at all.

    It can only go two ways <whistle>

    It will either be interesting to hear from the actual person Benson squeezes into every story, someone who can often end up at the heart of several controversy's at once... or it'll just be some boring PR stunt.

    My guess, it'll be something in-between, he won't get too controversial and say anything that may upset the PR image of his new pay masters, but... with the McLaren "Control" no longer in place, he may open up a bit..
    I'll give it a read to begin with, if its PR blurb or Benson'salised then I'll give it a wide berth.

    Webber wrote through Benson, as has Anderson and Coulthard. If this is more of the same, I'll be less interested. Benson editing his hero's articles is going to make it look like Hamilton is in love with himself, surely?

    "He&#8217;s into you, but you&#8217;re determined not to give into these feelings that you clearly have for him, so he fantasizes about you through his writing. It&#8217;s literally verbal masturbation."

    Rep awaits the person who knows what that quote is from without plugging it into Google. <diva>

    Finally, watching low budget late night detective shows on channel five pays off! Castle surely all to do with Castle and Beckett's relationship.

    Bit of guilty pleasure of mine (my friends seem to think it is poor) but I love the slightly corny dialogue. :)

    Looks like Ferrari themselves have paid Marussia to have Bianchi. On the side of his Marussia helmet it has the Ferrari logo but with the words "Driver Academy" instead of "Scuderia Ferrari", which Perez never had on his Sauber helmet. Bianchi's other backer is the French Motorsport Federation and it looks like they are contributing more than Ferrari.

    Bianchi's main sponsor pre-F1 (Aethra) is still with Force India.
