I am pretty sure Nick Heidfeld stays with Sauber, if they are allowed to start.

Quote from DevilDare :

We got F1 discussion thread. 2010 is still miles away. We only just closed down 2009 season....

After the season is before the season!



Some would be surprised to see more then 18 cars on the grid in 2010 at least the TV news quoted Mario Theissen and Adrian Sutil saying this.

Disappointed with the mandatory tyre stops. I was hoping that along with no refuelling that scheduled tyre stops would be eliminated also.
Was rather hoping we would see overtaking on the track, not in the bloody pits as we have had for years.

I can't find English link but Montezolomolomelo still plans to present his idea of three car teams and his dream of Schumacher to FOTA. Is he senile (too) or what? But of course it is very simple from Ferrari's point of view, since they do not even count Campos, Lotus, Manor or USF1 as teams (referring to Ferrari's ridiculous press releases), so there is plenty of space on the grid.

New Safety Car for next year.

His career may well be over.

The frustrating thing about Toyota F1 is that if Toyota's head honchos in Japan let the team do its own thing, they probably would have fared better. They are victims of micro-management, IMHO.

That makes me so sad

That has nothing to do with the toyota press conference.

Someone just txt him saying that GT5 will have rewind feature, and the tyre sounds will remain un-changed.

At least someone in F1 still cares about racing.

you know that someone gave that guy a dead arm xD

I think he cares more about their coporate bible "the toyota way" failed in front of a global audience, more so than racing.

Toyota races to prove their philosophy, that their way of making road cars can also apply to making racing cars, and that is exaclty how they fail.

Aww don't be so cynical.

I'm sure hes upset for a lot of reasons, but surely every boss of every racing department must have a love of motor racing in them somewhere, deep down.

Think is I don't think he is from the racing department. (and yeah I am cynical, especially about japanese coporations )

Looks to me like he's on the shitter with a bad dose of constipation

It's probably more to do with toyota going up shit creek I bet he's jumped out of an office window by tuesday :o
