GF is reserve driver for Ferrari

What about Kubica, I'm sure he'll get a drive, wonder which team.

BMW engines fall off truck at Suzuka 01/10/09 16:04

A transport container carrying eight BMW Formula One engines has been dropped at the Suzuka circuit.

Auto Motor und Sport magazine reports that the engines were to be used in Friday practice by Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica, as well as being potential replacement units in the event of engine failures.

It is reported that the engines to be used in the race by the BMW Sauber drivers were not in the affected container.

On the way into the paddock at the Japanese GP venue, the container reportedly fell off a truck after it grazed a bridge.

"It was the worst damage (to F1 equipment) that we've ever seen," team boss Mario Theissen is quoted as saying.

Inside the container, the crates which enclosed the engines were destroyed, but the engines not obviously damaged.

"What I am most worried about are the valve trains," Theissen admitted.

Vettel disputes Singapore penalty 01/10/09 15:11


Sebastian Vettel does not think he sped in the pitlane last Sunday in Singapore. The Red Bull driver's already slight championship chances diminished yet further under the Singapore floodlights, where he received a drive-through penalty for breaching the pitlane speed limit by 1.4kmh.

Team officials unofficially protested the infringement after the race, showing the stewards and race director Charlie Whiting telemetry that did not back up the speeding.

Vettel told the German news agency SID on Thursday that he believes there was a "measuring error" by the FIA.

"I hope the same thing doesn't happy to anyone else in the future," he said. "The speed limit should be independent of the track on which you're driving."

He is referring to the fact that pitlane speed is not measured by laser or radar, but rather by measuring the time it takes cars to travel through various fixed segments.

"We have data from our car that shows clearly that we didn't exceed the speed limit," said Vettel, whose Renault powered car is limited electronically in the pitlane to 99.5kmh.

"Drivers take different lines in the pitlane. In the (Singapore) pit entry there was a line which you could drive over. Some did it a little, others a little bit more, like myself. It was completely legal," he explained.

Cutting the pitlane curve, Vettel believes, had the result of making it appear he went too fast through one of the timed segments.

Anybody want to bet against an RBR win this weekend...? With BMW second...?

Bernie works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.

Nick is back in at Sauber and PDLR is out.

Excellent news. Nick is better than Kubica and Webber and deserves a full time seat, a shame it's not a front runner.

Despite his obvious talent, Heidfeld is destined to be the eternal also-ran.

A shame, but agreed, Nick is one of the best wheel to wheel racers on the planet.

How could you forget the Smurfs?

Looks like Kimi wants to go to Renault.

I'm too old to have "forgotten" the smurfs, never knew them as anything more than a blue , nameless, blob.

Kimi and Bobby K? My new favorite team!!
