Take a look at this brilliant article from the Daily Mail (and see if toucan spot the mistake)

Is it toucan?

You've gotta at the idiots that run the Daily Mail. What a plonker whoever it was that wrote that article.

So are Russia expected to join the F1 calendar next year as well as the Grand Prix of America?

 

[mjo]

Russia are meant to be 2014, but maybe 2015 if the IOC feels it interferes in the winter olympics preparations. And words cannot describe how amateurish the Daily Fail is.

 

[gethinceri]

It is a shit newspaper. I struggle to understand why people buy it.

 

[Mephistopheles]

OP if it is true then it is great news...

The Russian GP at Sochi is scheduled for 2014.But should any problems arise due to the Olympics although the track is well up to speed the F1 could be held at the Moscow Raceway.This is a new fully operational FIA/FIM approved circuit.

They already have the Mercedes AMG arena! They already have a brooklands like corner which would get a high speed run out meaning some overtaking in the last corner! Theoretically of course, looks very India though

Kovalainen to McLaren, surely not? http://formula-one.speedtv.com/arti...-open-to-mclaren-return/#.UCLSmoYEjIw.twitter

 

[Brogan]

Not.

 

[no-FIAt-please]

If Bottas somehow doesn't get a Williams seat I could see Kovalainen going there. Although he's not an 'ace' he is a solid driver than can push the podium and consistently finish in the points, something that Williams has been sorely missing in 2012.

I like Heikki, I think he is a solid driver. I'd love to see him stay at Caterham but only if they could score points consistantly. Unfortunately, this seems a bit of a stretch despite their constant improvements.

All of this silly season discussion is getting to me a little. Will Ferarri keep Massa? Where will Hamilton end up? Is Schumi ever going to hand the keys over to another driver (maybe Di Resta?).

I drew a cartoon on the subject of Massa but I don't know how to upload it.

 

[Brogan]

Will Ferarri keep Massa?

Unlikely.
They didn't take up the option on his contract so as of now, Massa is without a seat for next year.

This drawing was inspired by a cartoon from Jim Bamber. I thought it really summed up the situation at Ferrari.

Thanks guys. I'll post some more as and when I can.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I know this the 2013 thread but this doesn't warrant a new thread being made I just want to say Nooooooooooooooo.

Not another Valencia please.
