Magnussen confirmed at McLaren

On another note, Jan Magnussen only left F1 two years before Button made his debut. Now Button is team-mate to Magnussen's son!

So awesome that Heikki is back on the grid!


I hope he does better than d'Ambrosio did in Monza last year, I want to see him scoring points and to be maybe one or two spots off Grosjean's pace. That's probably what's realistic to expect. I don't see him beating Grosjean, since the car is not familiar to Heikki. Maybe Interlagos could be a better race, especially if it's a rain chaos. Kovalainen is one of those drivers who can keep calm and work his way up in challenging conditions. And with this year Lotus, I think he can do it in dry races too. I think he should be able to nurse his tyres to last little longer, just like Kimi was able to do.

Maldonado still believing that one very good race in three years means he is allowed to shit on Williams

I used to quite like Maldonado - he made mistakes but he is fast and I thought if he sorted out the mistakes in a good car he could do very well. The past few things he's said about Williams made me realise what an arrogant twat he is. He shows no concept of being part of a team, and apparently expects to be given a fast car without any effort from himself. I imagine his feedback for car development hasn't been at all helpful in the past few years.

Lotus asked Schumacher to drive in Austin & Interlagos; he declined.

rumour or anybody from Lotus confirmed it, please?

Massa had talks with Mclaren, he says.
