Well I see F1 seems to be imploding on all fronts and what does the poison dwarf do? After bending over backwards to accomodate Donnington stretching gawd knows how many deadlines to the enth degree and giving them the benefit of all doubts he finally pulls the plug and gives Silverstone a 48 hour take it or leave it option!

Ah the power of compromise and negotiation. Personally I hope Silverstone remain resolute and walkaway from any one sided crap deal!

After all BE's hand is getting weaker by the day.. anyway who wants to see a 2011 grid of cars with no tyres

Great news, i'm sure we can keep this thread going for few more weeks before starting 2010 one.

I thought that I had posted already about street circuits but must have had one of those dementia moments,

Monaco must stay on the calender if for no other reason than the glamour and atmosphere associated with the place, it's like no other circuit, it has something, you really need to be there as the tension is electric.

Other street circuits come nowhere near Monaco for just those reasons and have never lived expectations, they are boring places with, in my opinion boring races, quality is what counts not quantity and we are running short on that.

I see that Renault are considering pulling out or at the very least amending their participation in F1 for 2010, guess we will have to wait and see.

I've been away since you posted the news David. Pleased she looks to be on the mend mate.

Any of you guys get to see the 94 British GP they showed last night? What did you think?

For me i was a little disappointed it was extended highlights rather than the race in full.

I also found it a little distracting because the commentary was obviously recently recorded, and they were trying to act as if they were there live. Think it would have been better to have commentated without the acting, and to have spoken about the race from today's perspective.

As for the race itself, it did bring back some old memories. I know that for me at the time, i really had no appetite for F1 after the death of Senna. I felt following the two deaths at that ill-fated race, they should have aborted the season. That's how i felt then. Looking back now, it probably was the right thing to continue. The show must go on and all that.

Anyway, back to the British GP, Schumi seemed to have lost the plot in that race. Whatever was he thinking to be messing about over-taking on the warm-up lap and then ignoring the black flag?

I'm sure there is something between the lines in this article Re Brawn expect to lose Virgin sponsorship, but I'll be buggered if I can see what the gist is.

If I remember correctly there is/was to be a tie up with the new team 'Manor' and 'Virgin'

If Kimi isn't careful, he could be out of a drive next year. Jenson has had a tour of the McLaren base, I'm sure he'll be cheaper than kimi.

"Reports in the British press this morning suggest the German carmaker will hand its shareholding back to McLaren, but will continue to supply engines to the team for at least the following two seasons."

It's the 1966 World cup final all over again.
