Sorry, you're crap

According to the FIA's intensive research, none of the new teams wanting a place on next year's F1 grid are up to scratch.

That's a bit of a shame in my opinion (and this is my blog after all, not a bloody democracy). I think the new teams this year have added and interesting element, and whilst the old-school teams are grumbling, they all had to start somewhere and struggle their way up the grid. Personally, I think they should take the blue flags away. If you can't overtake a slow back-marker then tough. You aren't good enough. End of.

It's doubly bad because it means Jacques Villeneuve won't be back, and I SO want to see him dicing with Schumacher again.

I'm quite fond of Lotus because they have a great attitude and good drivers, I like Virgin because they're trying hard and I love their paint job, and I like Hispania because it still amazes me that they showed up at the first race with one of their drivers never having driven a lap before qualifying. And are still going.

Keep them and add some more. Do you want an F1 grid with under 18 cars on it? Thought not.

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

By
Malaysia. It's always hot, and it always rains. Except the 2nd part is no longer true (unless you count the drizzly bit around lap 14). Saturday's qualifying session had highlighted the fact that Red Bull and McLaren seemed well matched on pace, but also that Ferrari were struggling. Whilst Vettel bagged another pole, followed by Hamilton, Webber and Button, Alonso was only 5th, and Massa 7th, with Nick Heidfeld an excellent 6th on the grid between the two red cars. At this point, I would like to break momentarily for a small rant: How many times do I have to say Heidfeld is good? Why wasn't he given a top drive years ago? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU BLIND!!!?? Ahem. The Hispanias somehow managed to a) turn up b) remember to bring cars c) get both of them on the track d) actually get both of them within 107%. Pretty remarkable really. Oh, and it didn't rain. Race day looked a more likely candidate for a drop of the wet stuff. The start was exciting, with

Senna bags Willy drive?

By
The great thing about F1 rumours is that they change every 5 minutes. Just last week it was looking like Barrichello might be back in at Williams, as new engines, tech staff and a general reshuffle would mean they needed someone who actually knew what they were doing in an F1 car. Which rules out Maldonado, obviously. Now it looks like Senna might be about to get a seat with the team where his Uncle lost his life. I'm sure Bruno's mum must be delighted. I don't hold with all this superstitious mumbo-jumbo though, and with the extraordinary level of safety in modern F1 cars, Bruno should be pretty safe. There is one significant problem with Williams signing him though - and this is going to be a bit unpopular I suspect - Bruno isn't very good. Yes, he put in a couple of reasonable performances with Renault, but Nick Heidfeld (ah... Nick and his lovely beard...) would have been able to do likewise, has he not been dropped. And then they dropped Senna too. Thi
