Future Possibilities
Sauber Secure Entry, Renault Discuss Future, Toyota Negotiate Settlement
Peter Sauber, who recently bought back his old team from BMW, has been granted the final entry for the 2010 Formula One season. The news ends months of speculation after BMW decided to withdraw earlier in the year. A deal with Qadbak fell through and the future of the team appeared to be in jeopardy. [...]
Are Mercedes-Benz Looking At Buying Into Brawn?
Although currently living off Honda’s money for this year, Brawn have seemingly been quite casual when it comes to finding sponsors. Getting Richard Branson’s Virgin group of companies onboard was a good step, but recently the British entrepreneur has stated that he will not continue his sponsorship of the team for 2010, instead choosing to [...]
Who Would You Put In The Second Ferrari?
Believe it or not, there are a fair few drivers out there right now who are available to drive the second Ferrari, and more importantly, would love to drive the second Ferrari.

With the ideas that were being bandied around in the previous post regarding the future of Nico Rosberg, I suddenly realised that the silly season is imminent. Of course, in this day and age of long (and short)-term contracts being announced in advance and drivers being fired mid-season, the silly season doesn’t really have a [...]
Where Should Nico Rosberg Go In 2010?
Nico Rosberg, prior to the start of the 2009 season, was making suggestions that he is not entirely happy with his situation at the Williams team, and that perhaps when his contract is up at the end of the year, he may look elsewhere for a drive. The young German star who is recognised by [...]
Ferrari Ask FIA For Permission To Allow Schumacher To Test F60
In the build up to the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend, much of the talk in the paddock and on the Internet was the debut of the sport’s youngest ever competitor. But it wasn’t so much that Jaime Alguersuari is very young, it was more to do with the fact that prior to the Friday [...]
