Kimi to Ferrari now officially, officially confirmed.
Wonder if Alonso will, internally at least, throw his toys out of the pram

Needs Rick to announce it before its officially officially official.
Next season could be great, or one team could get a jump and then we've got 2009 again. As much as I admire RB/Vettels dominance it needs to be broken, I didn't even bother watching highlights of the last race and I've always liked Monza.

Definitely getting RB/Vettel fatigue. I do think there will be a bit of a change next season though, thats not to say RB wont be strong, but i cant see them being totally dominant.
I just want to see a nice balance, as much as I'd love Merc to build a blinder of a car/engine and Lewis romp to the title with 20 odd wins, its much better if its nice and close all the way through with different teams and drivers having peaks and drops in performance.

Lewis has made the most overtakes per race (2.1) of any driver who has raced over 100 races.

based on this season and possibly last season I would say Alonso - do you have stats for the last 2 seasons

I don't see why he would - He has been there a while, yes its likely to be 2 number 1 drivers but he clearly has the talent so no reason why he would feel as if he needs to throw his toys out

Because he has form for it at Mclaren when they wouldnt make him number 1 over a rookie, who ended up showing him up a bit.
He likes been the man at a team, he moved to Ferrari to try build a Schumacher like legacy. Massa was his Barrichello.
I do wonder if this is Ferrari saying to Alonso, "you arent bigger than the team", as recently as last year Di Montezemolo was saying Ferrari didnt run 2 number 1s as it creates problems like what occurred at Mclaren with ALO and HAM, yet here they are signing Raikonnen and doing the complete opposite, just after the first signs of stress in the ALO/Ferrari relationship.
It will be interesting to watch but i expect Alonso to comfortably beat Raikonnen, who i dont rate as highly as some people do.

Sounds like Rob Smedley is going to Williams. I wonder if Massa is going with him?

Same Ryan, deserves a spot even if the cunt did take Lewis out in Brazil 
I think Grosjean had done ok this season, certainly in a lot fewer incidents than lay season and not always at fault for the ones he's been in this season, definitely got talent. Maldonaldo is just nuts, but money talks.
Smedley to Williams was in Twitter last night, retweeted something about it. They might do alright next season I reckon.

I don't think Ferrari would be able to guarantee Smedley's safety anymore.
''Come on Kimi baby, push, push!!''
Kimi stops at the pit wall, throws his steering wheel at him and goes for a choc-ice.

Massa in talks with Lotus and McLaren.
McLaren would be mega, especially if they get a good car and he beats Alonso for a year or two

In other news, it sounds like the T10 Chicane in Singapore is being flatted into a flowing left hander (like tabac I guess) which should make Singapore approximately 100% better.
Not sure if the cars will be too fast into the bridge now, but I'm sure they'll think of something.

It's about time an F1 track had a jump in it
Aye that Singapore Sling was clumsy as fuck. Glad it's gone.
Massa to McLaren eh? Wonder who would lose out there, JB or Perez? I'm sure JB would be picked up by a massive team if him, what with him being such a world class driver and that.

Absolutely no chance will he be at McLaren. JB is very good for sponsors and he's a handsome bastard.
Jonny - let it go mate, 1 time WDC, just like Lewis and Kimi.
