F1 » Renault wins Valencia appeal, will race in Spain

£50k fine? WTF? So they are innocent, but we'll fine them anyway? As usual, makes no sense.

MOTOGP » MotoGP rookie rule, engine limit clarified.

Why does this rule exist? I can't see the reason...

F1 » Vatanen claims international support for FIA bid.

I think it's great. It'll be so tough getting in (as surely everyone in the FIA who currently benefits would want JT on the throne), but if he somehow manages it, we'd have a democracy. Saying that, you need an element of dictating to the teams. They will never agree with each other for very long, so a bit of both will probably be the best.

F1 » Newey role unchanged by Willis exit.

Well they are a private team. But they are big enough/financed well enough to be called a big team

F1 » Newey role unchanged by Willis exit.

Wasn't BAR going really fast in 04 or 05 under Willis's development before they dropped him? Then they dropped right back. Hope that doesn't happen again. It's great having the private teams (if you can call RB a private team) showing some proper pace.

F1 » Mid-term report: Vote for your F1 star of 2009 so far!

Haha, someone's got a sense of humour, Sutil and Fisi currently way out in front :o Gotta be Button for me. He's upped his game this year right when he got the good car - just when you need to up your game. Vettel is great as ever, but he's made some mistakes, such as Monaco/Australia. He's probably the fastest overall, but the most complete so far is def Button.

WSBK » Kagayama: Results no better than privateer

I'd like to see Cal on the factory Yamaha SBK, Sykes to Suzuki. Just don't know about Kagayama :-(

F1 » Donington gets final F1 planning go-ahead.

Great news. Now you've got less than a year to do pretty much the whole thing, so get on with it!

F1 » Peace in F1 threatened by latest Mosley letter.

FFS

F1 » Mosley 'would not exclude' Todt replacing him

As everyone rejoiced at the news Max was leaving, I bit my tongue. This is why. Max is seen as the enemy by many, but there are worse people out there who want the job. Can you imagine the consipracy theories and angry teams if Todt gets in?
