That is a bolt out of the purple*, isn't it?

*Even further than the blue!

I am not sure what the Spanish words are for
Sacre Bleu or Mon Dieu

Its obvious Pedro brings in Spanish sponsors to the team to give it the Hispanic feel and Riccardo probably will not be back in the other car

Pedro is probably thinking about buying a stake in the team as well

I am not sure what the Spanish words are for
Sacre Bleu or Mon Dieu

The words are "¡Dios mío!", but the ones that have been repeated the most today are "¿Qué?", what we could translate as "sorry, whut?!"
Nobody saw this one coming. The Spanish press was considering, just two days ago, a possible contract between de la Rosa to HRT as a no go.

Or "Que pasa??!!!!!

 

[laFrau]

Or "Que pasa??!!!!!

Nah!¿Qué pasa? ("wassup?") is exactly what de la Rosa said when he saw the surprise faces of everybody looking at him

Wow speaking Spanish are we lads?

Austin may be back on the calendar for 2012. Apparantly the race organisers are ready to pay the sanctioning fee, but they will only sign a contract that they are happy with. If the race doesn't happen in 2012 it will really hurt the credibility of the circuit, especially with a New Jersey Grand Prix coming as early as 2013.

About Bahrain, Korea and Austin.
Bernie says Bahrain will go ahead, Korea maybe, and when asked if Austin would return in 2013, he said "absolutely".

 

[gethinceri]

"Boycott Bahrain"!
And exhale..............!

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

If Korea or Austin get called off between now and the new year. Then can Bernie "the money bags" Ecclestone please please please add Turkey back on the calendar, love the racetrack and it's the best Tiike designed track around .

 

[Slyboogy]

Not a fan of turkey, prefer mince pies if I'm honest.

. Now Christmas is only a month away, but we'd be having Turkey today if we were living in America.

 

[Slyboogy]

Hold your horses Coach!

It's a shame that a great track like Turkey lacks 'atmosphere', they really should have built it in another area or promote it a hell of a lot more.

How about if it's on the calendar next year, we all from CTA that like the track go there? It will boost the spectators by 50%

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Can you imagine 100 or 200 of us turning up in Clip the Apex t-shirts, wearing caps from all our favourite teams?

The Turks won't know whats hit them!

There was some interesting comments going on in the commentary box about drivers who have contracts for next season in teams that aren't in the top four teams that their seats aren't necessarily safe (talking more about Trulli and Petrov here).

Lots of theories going round that Alguersauri may end up at HRT and form a Spanish line-up alongside De La Rosa. Or young Dani Clos joining that team aswell.

Or that Toro Rosso were gonna stick with the same line-up or replace both Alguersauri and Buemi with Riccardio and Vergne.

Also over at Team Catherham as they'll be known next season, Trulli's seat might go to Riccardio or young Razia.

Also there was talk about Senna staying on at Renault but Petrov been replaced by Grosjean.

Plus we still have the two seats at Force India and Williams to be filled up!

Only time will tell but Silly season is not well and truly over and loads more rumours will fly around.

One thing that did sadden me was that once you've been kicked out of the Red Bull developement programme you get treat like crap.
