neah, that was 20 years ago.

I'd love to see him go back to some one like Audi or Aston and do the LMS. Mickey in the dark in an Aston at Le Mans i'm gettign a semi just thinking about it.

[Nick_L]

I'm not sure if it's such a good idea him coming back, at the moment he'll be remembered as a legend, if he comes back and it doesnt go so well, thats all people will go on about.

Would be good to see him come back, and in a Kenny from Consolevania style:

"ILL SHOW YE HOW ITS FUCKING DONE"

Amaze.

Guys, is there a decent site that lists which drivers are confirmed for which teams... and perhaps a roundup of any rumours as they happen?

A lady at work watches F1 but she doesn't keep up to date with all this 'mid-season' drama. Is there any decent compilation of all this info?

The BBC Formula One news site has a daily updated gossip column.

[Sidewaysbob]

autosport.com

and

planetf1.com

both pretty on the money and up to date.

The fanboi comments on Planet are hilarious.

it's fanboy. unless you are bruciebabie and therefore a cunt.

[marsh]

Never ventured into that part of the site, is it as bad as I imagine it would be?

Apologies for the unconventional spelling.

Fucking hell, USF1 better sell some more toasters out of their wind tunnel!

I think I'm getting too tired to read. I thought the Mercedes chief executive was Nick Fury in that BBC article.

New points system

Interesting new points system. 1st to 10th paying out with 25 for the win. I like th esound of this new Todt chap, he's got some good ideas.

Good idea to expand the scorers.. I'd be taking it further though, and giving points to each finisher so every place is worth fighting for.

[Sigourney Beaver]

And a point for pole and fastest lap. Maybe even most overtakes.

Renault to stay.

[marsh]

How very 'safe' retain a 25% stake for 12 months just in case they do a Brawn. Gone by 2011 to make engines I'm sure.

heh. Exactly what I was about to post.

An awful idea on so many levels. I'll bet it happens once, & once only.

[marsh]

I don't think it'll happen at all. Lotus will take the wind tunnel mock, campos will turn up with an LMP2 car, and USF1 will have to buy back a toaster and put some wheels on it.

[GwiDan]

Isn't this what NASCAR does? They have the most insane points system I've ever seen.

I'd say after autosport, the best news site is gpupdate.net by the way.

Please Santa can we have F1 in HD next year

[p1nseeker]

So if Renault are staying does that mean no pro drive?

[GwiDan]

I'm still saying Prodrive will run the company for Renault. Mark my words.

[Sidewaysbob]

USFoff will have a toaster and don't forget the wish bone they drew on day 1

[Dudley]

Only F1 could introduce a new points system to encourage winning and leave the gaps 1st to 2nd to 3rd exactly the same.

[GwiDan]

The new system isn't to encourage winning, it's to distribute points more fairly now there are more cars on the grid.
