Probably great - that's Jukka from the dudesons, kind of the Johnny Knoxville of Europe.

Did you guys hear that RB is rumored to have already used up their allowed budget under the FOTA gentlemen's agreement? If that is true... :squint:

I also didn't realize that Indy cars have an open engine formula. Lame of F1 to have a closed engine formula if Indy has an open one. I think they're running V6s at 2.2L of displacement. Shit man, c'mon F1!

I for one am glad virgin as dropped wirth from their roster, maybe now they'll be able to create a semi competetive car for 2012.

i mean all nick wurth ever did in f1 was bennetton post schum/brawn and simtek, which failed worse then virgin is currently.

I had to double check to make sure I wasn't reading The Onion

Bahrain call 'nothing to do with money'

Bernie Ecclestone 2011Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone says the decision about whether the Bahrain GP will be back on the calendar or not has nothing to do with money.

"What's our problem in the world at the moment? Too many over-educated people. If we can find a way to do something about that then a lot of our problems will disappear. "

-Bernie Ecclestone explains what causes so much trouble in the world. And there we were thinking it was human rights abuses and repression ...

Hopefully FOTA will boycott this shit, Williams already hinted at it before it got canned the first time.

:werd:

You can't have mercedes and renault, let alone all the sponsors, appearing to support a violently oppresive regime. Silliness.

Williams loves to say they'll boycott anything.

However, Ross Brawn has already said the teams are all opposed to the season lasting as long, so they may use that angle to sidestep the political issue and still veto the change.

Which brings up an interesting point, as Bernie claims the teams are all for the change in the season.... Somehow, I believe the words of Ross over the claims of Bernie.

There are so many problems with this:

1. fuck bahrain, it's shitty track and it's corrupt Kalifas

2. Bumping Interlagos from the final round. UNACCEPTABLE to me as a fan

3. Potential disaster of the shithole that is India trying to host the single most important race of the year (hey, maybe Vettel will save us here :/ )

4. People who have already scheduled their lives arounding attending IGP's original date

5. It won't be safe. The pissed off people there know how much scrutiny this event will receive and there is just too much potential for trouble. Fuck Iran and Ahmadenijad and his presidency of OPEC.

Oh, yah, are you guys aware that the "president" of Iran is now the President of OPEC? Yah, he canned the Oil Minister who was the sitting president of OPEC's rotating office and named himself as replacement.

Now I'm sure there are just a bunch of us who see all the negatives here, but thats because thats all there seem to be.
