probably Renault board refused PDVSA sponsorhip to get rid of Maldonado

Or they just withdrew their sponsorship, things aren't exactly bright for the Venezuelan oil industry since the prices collapsed.

I'll be happy if Magnussen gets the seat but it's a shame that Maldonado will be the victim.

Of course for the obvious reason that he provides entertainment but he is said to be the nicest guy on the grid as well. If he loses this one then I doubt he'll ever come back.

He hasn't deserved his seat in F1 for years. Good riddance.

There's nothing to say Mags will be any different, nor Palmer since it took him what? 4 years to win GP2? That's a lot of testing he won't have for F1.

Not saying that Magnussen will shine at Renault but he did pretty well at McLaren. If it wasn't for the mediocre last races, where Button probably had his best races of the season, he would have still been there.

I'd certainly hope not, pushing on 60 I doubt he'd make it a few laps at a time without having to come in and pee.

You do realise that I already made the joke?

didn't know that Jonathan Palmer was a highly rated driver

apart from an early 80's auto racing magazine cover depicting the usual british optimism of their drivers

No I thought you'd made a slip over the names, looks like I wasn't the only one either :D

I never understood this. The Patrese effect. Likeable, top blokes on foot, but once they put a helmet on they become discourteous relentless madmen that won't give an inch.

Explain? I'm drunk and can't be arsed to research. Sorry!


There's a rumor that when Schumacher was signed in 2004 Toyota execs thought they'd signed Michael.

Guess they got Pearl Harbored on that one...

Quote:
Alain Prost had an affair with his best friend’s wife. The friend was Jacques Laffite. Laffite was competing in the Paris-Dakar rally in 1989/1990 and was expected to be away from home for a few weeks. Unfortunately, his car broke down in the preliminary stages in France and he returned home early, only to find Prost and his wife in a compromising situation.


Nelson Piquet always spreaded that story, for me is one of the best

That's not the only story of Prost being caught with his trousers down. There's the one about Zandvoort in 1983 as well.
