    Actually, just in case anyone took my comment about swivelling exhausts seriously, I was joking! The Technical Regulations forbid such a thing:

    5.6 Exhaust systems :
    Engine exhaust systems may incorporate no more than two exits.
    5.7 Variable geometry systems :
    5.7.2 Variable geometry exhaust systems are not permitted.

    Which makes Bergkamp's Mclaren rumour all the more intriguing.

    Sorry, this didn't deserve a thread of it's own but it's about Renault:

    Renault team reportedly cash strapped

    http://www.yallaf1.com/2011/05/27/r...d&utm_campaign=Feed: Yallaf1com (YallaF1.com)

    I don't know about the credibility of the source, but if true, this is a worrying sign for their future.

    Lotus Renault-Cosworth?

    So the Renault team will be unable to afford it's own engines? we're going to have to start calling them Lotus (the statement "In the paddock there are rumours that Renault must go with Cosworth engines next year, if the bills are not paid to Renault." is just asking for confusion) .As for the team i never realised they depended so much on Kubica off the track as well as on it. (told you guys NH is not interesting enough)

    It appears it was all a scurrilous rumour put about by disgrace and former team boss, animal Flavio Briatore.

    I feel sorry for Ferrari fans if he gets employed by them. Sure he does a good job but sometimes he goes on the dirty and bends the rules

    The two are not unrelated.

    There's been a few rumours that Flavio will replace Domenicali soon. Luckily, none of the sources are reliable :D

    I don't know how to react to Flavio being in charge of Ferrari - he knows how to win, but he's an asshole. to be honest he should just piss off

    Some news thats gone under the radar. Looks like Renault is activly looking for sponsorship for Bruno Senna and get him in the car before the end of the season. Gerard Lopez was spending time in Brazil before the candian GP to do this. This money would be put to good use with next years car and paying Renault for engines.

    Cant wait to see him in the car soon

    That would be terrific (nodody ever says terrific anymore), I really want to see Senna in a competitve car to see what he can do, I was gutted when he did not get the Honda/Brawn seat because Honda pulled out. I take it he would be replacing Heidfeld.
