According to the BBC website Massa signs new deal with Ferrari

So that's one less option Alonso!

It is perfectly normal for a British team and British fans wanting to succeed in F1, but it is ironic that the racists in England are having to rely on a coloured pilot.

Yet another tyre Issue for McLaren..could be a ten place penalty.

Don't think that will change anything.........even the Mclaren appeal won't result in disqualification of the three involved if anything.

Well that won't change a thing as the tyre issue with McLaren on Friday's practice would be brought up again, and the teams involved with the cold fuel would no doubt appeal McLarens fine with no place penalty.
Nothing will change, otherwise it stands to bring F1 into disrepute, just as the viewing ratings are climbing, Last thing Bernie Eccleston wants IMO
Well done Kimi, long overdue IMO

Of course he did. Ferrari probably give him the biggest back hander

 Bernies reported net worth is an estimated �2,243m.

Can you imagine the bulging overflowing brown envelope that Todt would have handed him.......... more like a Ferrari truck bulging at the seams.

Damon Hill makes a few valid points about inconsistency
McLaren set to launch fuel appeal

The sooner McLaren get rid of Alonso the better
Alonso still bitter

Ferrari has won the constructors and drivers championship - I can't see that changing
