Why massa on 2nd engine?
I thought they all will using new engine next GP.

Alonso offered mechanic 650 each to belasah Lewis

Alonso Offers A Bonus Too Far
Fernando Alonso has been heavily criticised by the Mclaren team after it was revealed that he offered his mechanics £650 per man to beat Lewis Hamilton... The plan was to get him round the back of the motorhome before the Belgian GP and give him a good kicking

One of the mechanics, who asked for his name to be withheld was shocked at the offer. "Fernando's on £12m a year, you would have thought he'd offer a bit more than that."

Ted Kravitz reckons an Alonso - Webber swap is possible for next year


While Ted Kravitz isn't the best F1 reporter (far from it) he does think that a Webber - Alonso swap is possible.  I've read a few reports that reckon Webber hasnt actually signed for red bull next year, he has an offer and he is expected to sign soon.  Kravitz has a point in saying that Mateschitz meeting with Alonso does carry some significance and with the Willis/Newey combination for next year RBR could be (a very outside) chance of producing a good car. 

We've seen this year with Torro Rosso, Red Bull are willing to drop drivers rather quickly and if Alonso was on offer i'd image they'd be willing to pay out Webber or Coulthards contract.

As everyone prob knows, the whole driver market is frozen until we know where Alonso will be next year, much like how everyone was waiting for Raikkonen to sign for a team last year.

These stories get crazier by the day!!

Interesting 

Massa negotiating with Toyota?

Further to the rumours that Ferrari could be courting Fernando Alonso for their 2008 driver line-up, Felipe Massa is reportedly in talks with Toyota about a possible switch next season.

The latest development in a story that has gathered pace since the Belgian Grand Prix weekend, the Daily Mail is reporting that plans are in place for Massa to be manoeuvred out of the Scuderia in favour of double World Champion Alonso.

Much of this rumour stems from speculation that Jean Todt could be ousted in a management shuffle at Ferrari, putting his son Nicolas, Massa's manager, in a precarious position within the team.

Ferrari look strong
what time for tomorrow quali?

The Spaniard, who is in the first year of a three-year contract, told the BBC : "For next year, I have a contract with this team and I don't see any problem.
"I have won four races and I'm fighting for the championship so everything is going quite well and I'm happy."

I am so surprise about a long term F1 fans know about the point system...       

"But with Alonso and Lewis so close, there's a possibility that they're going to touch and that's the only way Kimi can win it really, because even if he wins every race and Lewis finishes fourth, he still can't beat him."

Heavy fuel = slow lap times.

So now talking about extra fuel in the machine, who has the better advantage ah?
