I think that since Michael is backing out of F1 before he restarts, Ferrari should contact Ralf. Might be entertaining. Probably not, as Ralf was never the same after his 1st crash at Indy.

Too bad.

Tiff Needell? I thought he was primarily a toruing car driver. Luca Badoer is an interesting choice. I have often felt somewhat sorry for him. He's spent ten years in the wilderness, testing Ferraris but never racing. Maybe now that he has something better than a Minardi, he can get some points.

well guys, after a discussion with Bob Varsha earlier today, this is a difficult time in F1. Massa coming so close to a WDC last year, and potentially (and almost certainly from what I heard from an Italian insider) never to race F1 again... it really is very dificult circumstances.

ESPN is attempting to make a move on the USA rights to broadcast F1... there are 3 tracks being concidered in the US, one of them being in New York. Don't expect too much for NY as the costs of operating in NY are far higher than other locations. The Las Vegas track idea is all but dead... and there won't be another F1 race at Indy for the forseeable future. Bernie ALWAYS has an agenda.

Hope he does well, he is the only F1 driver I bothered following in the later years.
Correction...

There is nothing sadder than an ex-champion trying to make a comback and not even getting out of the locker room..

Now I'm alive again. Thanks for the good news.
