    I personally thought he was more impressive in the WSR tests but Ferrari have decided to place Marciello in GP2, he has signed with Racing Engineering. They must have REALLY wanted Marciello because apparently he's paying less to drive for them than he would have paid in WSR. Also Vandoorne will be in GP2 with ART.

    Finally we have proper talent in GP2!

    Mixed feelings on Vandoorne and Marciello going to GP2. It's a **** series but the coverage of it is far better. They should dominate, the GP2 field has been getting weaker and weaker for years now, to call the the drivers left mediocre would be a compliment.

    Irvine getting some Italian justice.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-25672557

    6 months inside for 'mutual injury'!? But As it's Italy, it will be suspended and probably won't bother at all unless he goes back to Italy, or if he pays the judge off............

    Bruno should have been in the team rather than Rubens. that would have been brilliant!

    Its more likely Vettel would have a 5th ,sadly, but it is amazing to think how many drivers with otherwise unremarkable careers nearly got to drive that car.

    Ecclestone to face bribery charges

    Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone will be tried on bribery charges, a German court has ruled.

    A panel of judges in Munich had been deliberating whether he should face trial over allegations he made a corrupt payment.

    Mr Ecclestone is already facing a £90m civil claim in London's High Court.

    That case was brought by a German media company, Constantin Medien, who claim they lost out financially when the sport was sold in 2006.

    As £80m is with themselves, it's only if they decide to call it in that the team will have problems
