The first McLaren that Hamilton wrecked...

At least it's not like Honda, where the car only run for 3 corners in its debut

I see a new Montoya here. It's just that that spanish foo has 2 world championships, but it's just like Montoya afterall

I really began to like renault...and especially now that Alfonso is gone...i like Pat Symonds, doesn't fuck around and says it the way it is...I like Flavio cause he stirs up shit which is what's missing at Ferrari...and that's just good entertainment...I like their car and I was going to root for them this yr...but all that was lost when I saw this...

^ Haha, yeah looks like a 5th grader's art project.

ING used to support cricket. Now they support F1. They're moving up.

Every time I see Flavio Briatore, I start thinking of those horrific pictures of his uncovered and uninspiring torso posted here earlier.

/\/\ So less speed but more action hopefully!

I can see Kubica, Button and all the other late braking nutters allready performing their stuff!

Good to hear its an improvement by a racing driver such as yourself. They changed the Assen circuit last year and all the motoGp racers now hate it :x

^^^ Both red bull drivers had questioned it, and mark even said it won't aid overtaikind they're still coming out the final corner in 5th which is still like 130mph or so.

F1 Grand Prix set for Abu Dhabi debut in 2009
By Robin Chatterjee, Sports Editor



Dubai: If the variables come together then speculation that Abu Dhabi will host a Formula One Grand Prix in 2009 is set to become a reality.

"Yes, it is going to happen," confirmed a source to Gulf News yesterday. The announcement is to be made this week on the sidelines of the F1 festival, organised by the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), to be hosted in the capital from February 1-4.

An A-list of Formula One drivers, including defending champion Fernando Alonso, along with their respective teams will be attending the festival.

Curiously, seven-time Formula One driver's champion Michael Schumacher is also slated to be in the UAE during this period.

When contacted by Gulf News for comment, F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone refused to confirm but insisted the media attend a press conference on Saturday.

While the date for the Grand Prix has not yet been set, given that Abu Dhabi has yet to build a race-track, it could be held towards the end of the F1 season in 2009.

Sources close to one of the F1 teams believe that the race-track is likely to be built on one of the man-made islands, with a luxurious housing development, seen from the Corniche.

When asked to point out the decisive factors that may have clinched the deal for Abu Dhabi, the source stated, "No bullsh......ers, no middlemen and no dreamers. The presence of decision-makers made this happen. You need to carve a straight path to Ecclestone."
