F1 » Haug hints at 'some surprises' in Mercedes GP line-up

Alan D, LOL

F1 » Jenson Button 'has agreed' three-year McLaren deal

Sorry guys, back to colour. I did read in when the story originally broke about Mercedes buying into Brawn, that McLaren would continue with their current colours.

F1 » Raikkonen manager reveals F1 2010 decision made

As many have said, he has priced himself out of the drive. Very sad. However, what makes him or his manager think that after a year away, he can still get a top drive for the money he would still want? I think he should be more realistic.

MOTOGP » POLL: Which 250 rookie will succeed in 2010?

Simoncelli only if he calms down some and keeps it on the track. Aoyama could surprise us all. Bautista will have a tough time on the Suzuki. I thought there was a rule against a rookie joining a works team? Barbera will be quicker to adapt to the Duc than someone with MotoGP bike baggage.

F1 » Heidfeld to push F1 champ Button out of Brawn GP?

I hope that Button doesn't make the "wrong" move again, like he has done so many times in his career. As far as his (and Kimi's) wage demands are concerned, sure they are both world champions, but guys, we're in a crisis. Don't price yourself out of a drive. Personally, I would like to see Kimi back at McLaren, and Button stay at Mercedes F1, but who knows where greed will take us.

F1 » McLaren retains F1 engine deal despite Mercedes exit

JET, McLaren F1, one of the most iconic cars of the last century. I think that McLaren have enough engineering history for them to be OK. And, I'm pretty sure than RD has done his sums before embarking on this venture.

MOTOGP » Rossi, Lorenzo impressed by 2010 Yamaha.

Looks like the Lorenzo challenge is getting a bit close for Vale. "Get rid of Lorenzo or I'll go to Ducati in 2011." If I were Yamaha, I'd stick with Jorge.

MOTOGP » 250: Hiroshi Aoyama champion after Valencia drama

Very happy for Hiro and the Scot team. What happened in 2009? I thought Honda had stopped developing the 250 class years ago.

F1 » Toyota announces it is quitting F1

Sad to see them go, of course, as with any other team. But they were a victim of their own making. Trying to do it from Germany (how many other teams are there in Germany), consistently hiring the wrong drivers and paying them too much and not getting rid of them when they did not perform. F1 isn't on message for Toyota. As many others have said, WRC is where they should be. It's like saying Subaru are entering F1. It just doesn't gel. It would be interesting to see if anyone buys them, then who will get the nod for 2010. Sauber or "Toyota".

F1 » MUST SEE: Abu Dhabi's unique pit-lane tunnel exit...

Well, the circuit isn't as bad as it could have been, although there are too many 90 degree corners. It would have been nice to see a pit entry as well. As for Bruno driving slowly, we don't know the spec of the car, it was carrying a passenger and the circuit is new and can't have had that much rubber put down yet. All in all, I think he did OK.
