I decided not to bother this week. Didn't record any of it.

Watched the motorbikes instead and saw fabulous racing by extremely talented people and incredibly professional teams on a fraction of the F1 budget.

Glad I missed it now...bye bye F1...for me.

I came to this topic to post something very similar and then I read your post. Recorded MotoGP and what a wonderful race. Proper on the limit overtaking and awesome skills. I really rate the riders very highly as they were taking bends at speed which I would be scred to do in a car! I am not a rider but I do admire these guys. Not sitting on the seat and constantly moving around and no safety cage around them either is awesome. These guys are amazing.

IIRC Valentino Rossi had a few laps in the Ferrari GP car a few seasons ago and his pace was very impressive.

Now that would be very interesting to see Rossi in F1.

2007 Red Bull Ferrari ... just wait and see

And I heard JB to replace MS at Ferrari when he quits...

btw just got back from silvers, had a great weekend, race was not all that but the quily was a great atmosphere. Got access to the pit on sat and sunday had a tour of the Renault garage the drives had just come in from practice so we got to meet a very sweaty Giancarlo and Fernando.
Will post some pics (took lots in pitlane) if anyones intrested..

well thats what has been reported, JB also said something like he wants to be in a team who can contend for the Championship, so if Ferrari are not doing well all he would get is a "nice company car"!

Lets just hope Williams dont want him any more.

It's not actually.

What's been reported is that Button will do a swap with barrichello. Could happen, but Button is reportedly weary of a move to Ferrari as they appear to be on a downwards slope like Williams.

He's actually better off where he is as I think we've yet to see Williams and Ferrari at their lowest point.

From what I saw of that film, it is just round the corner from Simonprelude - wait till he gets here and get his opinions.
Anyone want his address, car registration etc etc etc

I agree - and it's all v well JB saying he wants to be in a team that can win the Championship, but I cannot see any need or reason for Renault to re-hire him or for McLaren to employ him, so BAR still looks like his best bet.

I didn't think much of JB's comments after the race yesterday, really quite negative and can't have endeared him at all to his team.
