F1 » 'Motivated' Raikkonen will only stay in F1 if he can 'fight'

Let's compare two WDCs. Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button. Kimi is to receive 17 million NOT to drive next year, while Jenson is trying to get over 5 million to defend his title. Who's the better negotiator? Those of you knocking Kimi must have a lot of trouble with class envy.

F1 » 'Motivated' Raikkonen will only stay in F1 if he can 'fight'

I am amazed by the lack of understanding about wage negotiations by some of the posters here. Maybe that's why there are so many CEOs getting absurd sums of money. If you don't demand it you damn sure aren't going to get it. Kimi gets paid what he does because the money is there, and he demands it. No doubt some of you could learn a thing or two about wage negotiations from Kimi.

Hey Oops, do you remember Rossi's first race or Stoner's?

MOTOGP » Valencia MotoGP - Friday practice times.

Although it would be nice to see Spies place in the top five Sunday, I don't think a bottom five pace finish would be indicative of his capabilities. Ben has the mental drive and physical talent to be at the front, whatever he races. He'll be a MotoGP champ before his career is finished.

F1 » Toyota announces it is quitting F1

For any number of reasons F1 looks to be an unsustainable model. The recessionary economy is certainly one of those reasons. Not to overlook Bernie's greed. If he had made some monetary concessions to the teams it would of made a difference. For F1 to continue to exist there need to be some very drastic changes. I fear we will see less and less of cutting edge technology. The ancillary expenditures of most teams have also become ridiculous, such as the so called team motorhomes. These things takes days to erect and dismantle, not to mention shipping costs. The team owners need to get a grip. The days of sponsors tripping over themselves to give teams money are over, for now anyway.

WSBK » Ben Spies: Two wins and the title.

The most disappointing thing about this weekend's WSBK at Portimao is either Spies or Haga will not win the championship. Both very deserving. If I were to choose, my pick would be Haga. Only for the fact he's been around so long. On second thought, Spies is more deserving for his unbelievable outstanding rookie performance. Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait for Sunday.

F1 » Schumacher: 'No reason' to say I won't return to F1

No doubt, when Schumacher sees Jenson Button as WDC he sees another championship as easy pickings. I'll predict he will be driving F1 in 2010. Maybe not a Ferrari though.

F1 » Angry Vettel admits: I swam more than I drove

Being a motorsports fan for some fifty-five years and raised in the U.S., my early race viewing was strictly ovals. Three drops inside a one foot circle and the race was stopped. When first I saw F1 race in the rain I was totally in awe. I'm somewhat disappointed to see Webber and Vettel complaining.

It's become apparent F1 is made up of a pretty corrupt lot. I thought with the new entries things might be cleaned up. Silly me!
