    Reminds me a bit of Suzuka. With Azerbaijan and Mexico coming in soon, have we really got space for more?

    It's not about space, it's about greed. Ask Bernie: it's just business as usual.

    Bit of nostalgia here.

    Among the treats are the Life L190 and Subaru-Coloni (even e brief shot of one of these mean machines working! Subaru sounds pretty good)

    Looking back at that diagram, presumably the blue line is the pit lane and yellow squares the garages? Because if so, the approach/exit looks very, very odd.

    Edit: Wait, ignore me - it's not. Purple bit is pit boxes and pit lane is in grey.

    But F1 stays out of politics. It's neutral. They simply take the money of and lend support to whoever will pay Bernie the most :D

    Mercedes are the dominant force at the moment, but if the championship was based on the last 6 races:

    Ricciardo - 102
    Rosberg -- 98
    Bottas ----76
    Hamilton --73

    We might need a 2016 rumours thread soon. Team America **** Yeah have changed their name to Haas F1, put up an official website and Facebook page (priorities), and announced they will be using Ferrari engines. So that's one potential Honda customer gone...

    What are you talking about? Clark Kent isn't Superman, Clark Kent is a reporter at the Daily Planet.

    They don't even look remotely similar! <whistle>

    I love the BBC's Hamelot articles, it's scary to think Sky are worse.

    Well this is awkward.... I thought you guys were in on this.

    I'm surprised this is a DC article (double irony?), he's hardly Hamilton's biggest fan. Must have been held captive by Benson or something.
