Wasn't it Mark Webber who said that he was happy and hadn't had any problem with Flavio as a manager and that if he couldn't continue with him he'd be his own manager?
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!

don't know about that, but I personally would not like to have my business managed by somebody who is not well received by possible employers.

It was Webber, but he also has his father and partner as part of his management team.

If Toro Rosso has only named one driver so far, has anyone given some thought to the fact that Red Bull could sell their sister team's slot to Stefan GP, and so conserve budget for a real title push this season with Vettel ??

That's what is rumored about Campos.
Redbull doens't lack of money, and they bough STR just to get evn more exposition. At that time it may have been cheap as they were designing only one car, but even if now they have tp design two different cars, the overall costs are quite lower than a few years ago.

The last financial figures for team spending are only for 2008, and Red Bull were spending only just above what Williams were. Last years figures will probably see them spending considerably more, as they picked up alot of the ex Brawn staff for the year.

Has Bernie not stirred enough controversies over the last few years by opening his mouth? Now the Poison Dwarf wants to add shortcuts to tracks!
Fanatic
Like in all those great late-'90s/early-'00s racing games?
****ing seriously? When does it stop? Even Mosley has had some good ideas, but Bernie seems completely without use.
"Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
"No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"

I thought that USF1 would open their tests to the public and since the test track, barber Motorsport park in Alabama was near, i could go there and see the car.
But the tests according to the barber track and USF1 youtube vids will be closed to the public.
Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

Well, Sauber seems to be more sure of Pedro's contract on the team's website, as well as F1's.
Fanatic
haha, yeah, seems so...
Wondering why they picked De La Rosa, must have been quite cheap, as opposed to say Heidfield, which I think is a better driver (and with more experience as well, given the recent testing limitations and the rare and not really impressing outings of DLR).
