yeah, spyker still has free seats

Posted by Trance Nutter on Nov-17-2007 02:02:

Toyota also have a seat free don't they?
They wouldn't even have to chage the name on the side of the cockpit.
And they've got the money.


Thats assuming Alfonso will return to Renault.

Toyota will sign Timo Glock to partner Jarno Trulli, it will be announced the following days. 99% sure.


Posted by stren on Nov-17-2007 12:24:

I ain't gona lie. I would love to see him come back


Posted by Nosfer on Nov-17-2007 22:19:

neah... i don't want shumi back. i think he was one of the most antipathic drivers i've ever seen. i always liked his opponents: hill, villeveuve, hakkinen, montoya, alonso

I'm so happy Alonso teached him a lesson in his last seasons.


Posted by Omega_M on Nov-17-2007 23:17:

Yeah, but Hamilton apparently taught Alonso a lesson in his very first year in Formula One.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at with this guff but he has indeed been taught a very important lesson by Hamilton - That lesson being not to get complacent. To be beaten by a rookie competing in his very first season speaks volumes about the oh so great and experienced one. Alonso has had a shit year, and he has only himself to blame - He couldn't have looked more like a fucking muppet if he'd tried.

Nowadays experience in formula one don't mean as much. All the rookies in recent years have many times outperformed their more experienced team mates. I guess a formula one car is much easier to learn now.

Well, Alonso did have to settle into a new environment whereas Hamilton was "brought up" by the team, so to speak.

Ha, I was the same, always cheered for his opponents. But Schumacher was obviously in a class of his own, excellent driver. He retired at the right time: now we have Alonso and Raikkonen at the top of their game, plus a new great generation of drivers rising up (Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel, Kubica, Kovalainen, etc), and a good bunch of under-rated drivers also hitting their top (Heidfeld, Webber, Button, Massa). Had he retired a couple years ago and we'd have championships contested between "superstars" like Coulthard, Barrichello, Ralf Schumacher. That generation was really mediocre.

I really lost a lot of respect for Alonso this season. The amount of whining and paranoid delusions was ridiculous, and his stunt at Hungary was a really low point. But I still think he's a brilliant driver, and only lost to a rookie because the rookie was a brilliant driver too. Lewis shown an unusual level of confidence right there in the very first corner of his career at Melbourne (and followed it in countless other occasions), while Alonso shown he still has it in races like Nurburgring or Sepang, where he pwned everyone.

Raikkonen is my favourite driver, but I'm not sure if Alonso and Hamilton aren't even better. It's just that the pairing of them with McLaren this season didn't work at all, it backfired against both the team and the drivers, as the egos clashed too much.

One of the drivers recently (Pedro De La Rosa I think? I searched for the article but couldn't find it) said that banning traction control will increase the differences between the drivers and will make things harder for the younger guys, as F1s were becoming too easy until now. Personally I'm not convinced it'll make that much of a difference, because while the F1 guys have been driving with traction control for many years, the young guys that come from GP2 drive without it there.

Toyota confirm signing of Timo Glock and he has signed a 2 year deal


Posted by noikeee on Dec-11-2007 16:07:

So, Alonso and Piquet Jr confirmed at Renault; Kova without a seat currently, most likely going to Toyota (it now seems they want to sack Trulli too?!) or McLaren; Super Aguri is in risk of closing doors as they didn't get enough income from the sponsors and this pissed off Honda who had to pay more.

But more important than these news:
