Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted July 17, 2009 Todt swore that as long as he was in Ferrari Alonso would not get a drive there. Not the ideal head of the FIA I would like to have, if I was Alonso... Other than that, Todt can hardly convey an image of fairness to all teams. This will be true even if the guy actually acts in all fairness. It will simply be hard to believe until many years and fair decisions have passed. Nope, Vatanen is my man. (Unless Peugeot comes back to F1, at least) I agree, we need some change, who knows, This could be a classic move by Max to turn the tables, by putting the frog back in the pond as the head, he can now make sure his legacy is retained along with Ferraris. This could be a big blow to FOTA's other teams, I can also imagine guys like Flavio slowly siding with Ferrari. We will see Mclaren being penalized even for looking at Ferrari.

Flavio is Bernie's business partner. He is also in charge of FOTA's commercial relationships...build your own conspiracy theory there.

There's plenty of material There has always been plenty of material...They even said Ron could be elected... .....If Ron or Mario is elected, I am sure F1 will become DOF'S dream series...

JHS 1 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 Ferrari & Kimi: I believe Kimi will be driving F61 next year. Alonso will be driving R30. Alonso might be driving F62. Kimi has until Monza 2010 to declare if he intends to continue driving. If he does, Massa's contract would not be extended in favour of bringing Alonso. If Kimi retires Massa stays. This year at Monza it might be leaked to the press that Alonso is coming to Ferrari in 2011. In the same fashion as everyone knew for Kimi's switch from McM to SF year and a half before it happened. That is my estimate of the situation. At last, someone who speaks the sense! But i hope the thing about Massa going in favour of Fernando arn't true. Felipe has outclassed and outdriven both Kimi and Fernando last year and this year. If any current Ferrari driver should go, whether he wants to stay or not, it should be Kimi. His performances haven't been great, and if i was in charge of Ferrari, Kimi wouldn't have much longer to prove himself. And yes, i am a Ferrari/Kimi fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Insider 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 According to reports by the German newspaper 'Bild', former World Champion Jacques Villeneuve is closing in a on deal to return to Formula One with the new USF1 Team in 2010. God help us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Insider 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Don't panic - he's denied it. A few hours later Villeneuve denied the original German report, stating to Auto123.com: "It is not true at all." "I have not been interviewed by someone from that magazine. The people from the USF1 team have not contacted me," he insisted, adding that he had only spoken briefly to one of the team's directors, Peter Windsor. Phew!

Yup they are Felipe and Nando... funny pic! It's from Interlagos, last year, on the podium, probably. Alonso seemed to have taken Lewis' championship worse than Felipinho!
