Hi guys, here is my round of the F1 news for this week.
So let’s start with the teams’ then, good news for BMW, Peter Sauber has brought back the team and has replaced Toyota for the starting grid for the 2010 season. Also a team back in action is Renault, all we know at the moment is that the buyers has brought 75% of the team and are keeping the name the team name as Renault. Thanks to Pete and the unknown buyer so all the team keeps their jobs. The newly formed Virgin Racing has set to launch their project Next Tuesday. That really early, very early for a new team, let’s see what happened. Finally, Brawn GP has changed its name to Mercedes, but still run with Brawn line-up of the best brains.
For the track news now, and I said this is my last post that the British has been saved for 17 years at Silverstone, I so want to be their but they won’t be any tickets left when I do finally get a job! Also Silverstone has broke a record, which is the most even tickets sold in 24 hours, they have sold 6,500 tickets making a whopping £1.2 million, not bad for a circuit that has just about to start work on a new part of the track! Also, the Canadian Grand Prix is back from its one year break. It great place to race and a lot of crashes, that should be interesting with 26 cars going round J.
So, the drivers market is still wide open and they is a name at Mercedes with Schumacher written on the car, yes, Schumacher looks like he is coming out of retirement and going to have a seat next to Nico. It will be interesting if he does return; all we got to do is wait and see. Lastly, Lotus is looking at Trulli is looking likely to become the main driver. But what about Kamui Kobayashi, he had 2 amazing races and hasn’t been confirmed yet to any team yet, someone please sign him up
Because of the increase of the number of teams, there is a new points system in place. It is now 1st get 25 points, 2nd gets 20 points and 3rd get 15 points. The remaining 7 places are covered by the old points 10, 8, 6, 5, 3, 2 and 1. I don’t see why they have that, why not the easy 10 for a win, 9 for 2nd and 8 for 3rd and so on to 1 for 10th.
And finally … the FIA has now said at every race, there will be an experience F1 driver to help make the decisions of racing incidents, thanks you Jean Todt to try and make fair racing back to the track. But now, I can see a lot of teams trying to pay them out to fix the results, not naming any teams (RENAULT) … sorry.
So that the F1 news round-up and keep an eye out for Chad’s post coming this weekend. See ya all later and have a good weekend!
