F1 » Ecclestone: I want more F1 races

Hilarious! " Testing costs money and racing brings money." Bernie should have added, "to me" to that statement. He's wrong about nobody needing testing. The teams and drivers need testing as has been demonstrated by the uneven development of cars and substandard driving during races this year, some of the worst ever and dangerous to boot. With the Japanese fleeing F1 there will probably be a date open soon where the Suzuka race used to be.

F1 » Bridgestone to quit F1

richard, Yes you did and I agree that Conti's brand should be on the sidewall. Scottspt, Kumho is ambitious but it is doubtful they have the wherewithal to service a F1 sole tire provider deal.

F1 » Bridgestone to quit F1

Infidel, With the announcement last week of a joint venture between Continental and Hoosier to develope competition and hi-performance road tires you might be right on target with the idea of Hoosier getting into F1.

F1 » Bridgestone to quit F1

This decision by Bridgestone is a testament to the failure of a competition-free single supplier system as an effective marketing tool for tire manufacturers. Whatever advantage such a system provides for the regulators and owners of Formula 1 it is an ineffective way to market tires despite what Bridgestone may officially say, actions speaking louder than words. It must gall Bridgestone to think that Michelin had it right when they left Formula 1, pushed out by another Mosley vendetta. Probably the best thing Mosley could have done for Michelin in retrospect!

F1 » Button to join Hamilton at McLaren in 2010?

It would be a bold move for Button. If he can best Hamilton his value will skyrocket and his first WDC confirmed in every critic's eyes. McLaren is on the upswing and should be contenters next year while Brawn is going in the opposite direction. It would make for a very interesting team dynamic and I wonder if Whitmarch could manage it. It would be fun to watch! Mercedes may reconsider switching their support totally from McLaren to Brawn as well, I mean who is Brawn going to hire on the cheap to compete with the best of the field? If the offer is real it could really define Button's self-belief if he takes the McLaren chair.

F1 » Button salary dispute just tip of Brawn GP iceberg?

Totally agree with rob01. That is why Brawn has not negotiated a contract with Button yet, all the other chairs are being taken leaving Button with no leverage. Button, do a deal with the best team you can now. Brawn will not provide a championship level car next year.
