2010 Formula 1 Season - Official Discussion Thread

[sejtur]

Very well informed, those guys from the daily mirror

[Tom Vandenhove]

That's a fail

[TheViewer]

Total fail. Maybe not best to get all your F1 news from the Mirror. Though the journalist probably does

[amoljoshi]

Paddock sources say the Finn, 29, has signed an outline agreement to return to the car he won the world title with in 2007.

That probably tells all about the reporters' knowledge in the Mirror.

he won the title with Ferrari in 2007 so he is returning to Ferrari; he is in Ferrari, am I losing something?

Yeah really, they are really acting stupid now. returning to 07 car?

I think these guys should let the concerned people decide who drives what.

If Ferrari wants Alonso from next year, it will cost a lot...

Kimi Raikkonen has signed an "outline agreement" to kick off a second tenure with the McLaren team beginning next season, the Mirror newspaper reported on Sunday.

I think Rosberg should decide soon what to do.. It seems that Kimi is closer to McLaren than Rosberg...

F1 Update (twitter): "Rosberg names Brawn & McLaren as alternatives to Williams for 2010 #F1 Hopes to have "a decision in 4 weeks."

Great news: Brazil to end!
c**p news: We're starting the year in the great party atmosphere of a freaking desert

[JoostLamers]

Germany is on it!

Is that Nürburg or Hockenheim?

[Tom Vandenhove]

Is that Nürburg or Hockenheim?

Probably Hockenheim, after the Nurburgring hosted this years German GP

[hannibal_rising]

Let's pray for a Tsunami in Valencia that hits only the circuit and destroy it... without victims...

[phil1993]

Is that Nürburg or Hockenheim?

Probably Hockenheim, after the Nurburgring hosted this years German GP

Yeah, but with all the financial problems I doubt we'll be going to either

[Arhibald]

Korea, huh? I expected that F1 would go there in 2011 not 2010 but I suppose that's good news that we're gonna be there earlier... don't think that there will be too many problems getting some crowd to watch F1, when Japan is so near.

[TheViewer]

I'm very glad to see Brazil as the final race. It's very good to finish at a track with real race fans, rather than finish at a venue when the only people there are rich and are there to be 'cool'.
