CAL Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Mclaren and Mercedes are parting ways. Mercedes is inching ever closer to a deal with Michael Schummacher to drive their other car, with Nico Roseberg Button to Mclaren. Alonso to Ferrari. Kimi out altogther and signed up with a WRC Citroen JR Team. BMW is out repurchased by Peter Sauber who will run a Ferrari engine drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Bertand Baguette. Toyota out. Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen to the new Lotus Team, which said it wont be ready for the first race. All quiet on the USGP front I am not sure they will make grid. I think that they have had internal problems, Peter Windsor was in then out and now back in, they don't have a car yet or any drivers. And Renualt is expected to make an announcement tomorrow that they will make the grid with Heidfeld and Kubica or could say they are just pulling the plug. Bruno Senna to Compo. Cosworth supplying engines for 6 teams. A completely new point system. No refueling. New cars. New teams. New steward rules. It's crazy.

elan Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Could make next season very interesting, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAL Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Could make next season very interesting, don't you think? I do. The past couple years you could go in kind of expecting XYZ to happen. Who knows what's coming. In addition, FIA has still been trying to court F1 teams into the WSCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayC Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 That's quite a change. Should make things interesting. I don't like the idea of no refueling. Why not just make them use the same tires like they did a few years ago and get rid of the pits altogether? I haven't kept up with F1 in a few years. Not since Raikkonen's championship year, and even then I didn't pay too much attention. F1 has got boring for me. That, and the off-track freak show that usually followed. There is way too much drama in F1. I was actually hoping the teams would split and start their own series. Speed Channel shows the F1 races at 7 AM when they do, and that is just too early for me to watch a race. I'm always up by then but I don't feel like a race in the mornings. If they actually replay a race later in the day (which usually means no NASCAR that day ) I already know who won and don't feel like watching it when I know the outcome. When F1 pulled out of the US and then NA altogether, that is when I really lost interest in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Last I heard about the USF1 team was maybe 2011, but they appear to be in development already.Working on a car. Should be interesting after everything shakes out in the off season. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have tentive deal with an South American drive as long as he brings at least $8m in sponcership with him.

CAL Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Michael back in a car? Hard to believe! There has already been some German and English news reports he has inked a deal, and a strong indication came from Mercedes today that it was going to happen. At this ten seconds it looks like he will be back with Braun and Mercedes. Ferrari already gave the green light and stated that they wouldn't stand in his way. He could stay at Ferrari and be an icon for $7M, which he is completely bored with or drive for Merc for $5M His publisits Sabine said "it's not about the money." And he's got money, a couple years ago he gave away $200M to charity. Edited December 16, 2009 by CAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAL Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Red Bull might be the only team that hasn't been upsetted in some way. AFAIK it's still on for Webber and Vettle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58 Impala Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Micheal back in a F1 car, I'm lovin it. It'll be great to see if he still has it and can show up some of these young guns(Hamilton). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Oh yes, I have been reading all of this over the past few weeks. It is all interesting for sure. 2010 will be a hell of a season! I can't wait. It ought to be good for a lot of racing series. It ought to be some good F1 racing. The FIA is now getting back to normal now that a certain someone is out but the court ruling on WSCC The driver for our team is interesting, considering he needs to gain a certain amount of money to race.

jeffs396 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I just wish Bernie were gone. Truly despicable man. X2! Get him out, things would be better. Things should improve with Todt in charge of the FIA, but these constant rule changes are crazy (although last season was the most exciting in years!)
