Texan Teacher's Pension Fund to buy 3% stake in F1.

Did anybody else watch the FR3.5 season finale? Unbelievable.

[donald29]

No, what happened?

Poor, poor move.

But Felix Da Costa was the star of 2012 anyway.

[François]

Amen to that. Watching him take those dominant victories in a Red Bull livery sure had a vettelish feel to it. If that kid makes the right career moves, he'll go far!

No news on that stewards investigation? I can only imagine they can't quite decide between eviscerating Frijns and impaling him.

[phil1993]

Frijns deserves the championship, even if that move was silly. Bianchi, quite frankly, didn't do enough across the season.

[sportingcp]

Felix da Costa, the new Sebastian Vettel?

[Deovann07]

Good performance overtaking Vettel.....


Button will still the one! That Felix de Costa will still go trough a difficult way to defeat Button

[Deovann07]

Love to see Best photos for this Austin GP after...

I bet that so many people would capture some stunning moment for the Austin race... Post it immediately after the events... Anyone?

Redbull spending 245million euros to win the title. So basically, they just bought it for sebastien then?

[phil1993]

I would bet that Ferrari's budget is just as large, ditto with McLaren.

Mercedes's is less because they cut a lot of staff during the 2009 season.

But success doesn't always come with money - Case Study: Toyota.

[donald29]

Eurgh have to decide on a topic for a case study for one of my uni modules. Thanks for reminding me Phil.

[mikhailv]

Ferrari's was 199million from my knowledge. I remember reading something about budgets in 2011 and they were saying Ferrari was the most at that from what they believe. The RRA is 200million euro isn't it?

[donald29]

It certainly looks suspect that Red Bull (and Toro Rosso) are the only ones opposing the FIA restricting the RRA. And Horner saying 'our job is to win the championship' when discussing it..
