Wang Chung... I bloody hope note. BORING! Seriously, they rave about "new" ventures into new markets, but omfg. Tilke needs to get lost and just get someone in who can base the tracks on good characteristics. Might as well get an oval on the calender. Would be better than a Tilke track.

Liuzzi has completed the grid by signing for HRT.

....or more likely he happened to have £15m quid spare so they took him on.

Do we want to run the fantasy F1 league again?

From the BBC
The Bahrain Grand Prix has been called off because of anti-government protests in the Gulf kingdom.

The race, due to be staged on 13 March, was set to be the curtain-raiser for the new season.

But civil unrest has forced organisers to postpone the race, meaning the season starts in Australia on 27 March.

"We must focus on immediate issues of national interest and leave the hosting to a later date," said Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa.

Bernie wants to introduce "artificial rain" aka sprinkler system to wet the track at certain times with 2 minute warnings to "liven" thing up.

on a bit of a side note -

Any Ayrton Senna fans?

Saw it on Top Gear about a documentary about Senna`s life being released on the 3rd June. (sounds like it`ll be on in cinemas to?)
Can`t wait to see all the arguing behind the scenes with Prost and Balestre again :shake: :nod:
