There is Always HRT for Ruben's... He just wants to hold the most Grand prixs' record over Schumacher at this point I think.

Can't remember where I read it but he (Rubens) said somewhere that he "didn't just want to make up numbers at the back of the grid" next year. You could only assume by that he meant he'd pass on a ride with HRT but cynics would probably then say that he should've quit after leaving Brawn, but if he still wants to be part of F1 then I think he's still worthy of it. It's a shame for him.

He at least deserves a seat for interlagos, one last farewell gp at home. Rubens has shared the track with most of the F1 greats. I have always appreciated his humbleness, I'll miss his grid interviews.

So stoked for Kimi's return. Will be cheering him, Vettel, and Button on.

Same here. It's the perfect podium combo. The returning wildcard, The cool-collective gentleman, and the high skilled young gun. I'm stoked.

Same, Kimi was my favorite driver when he left, Vettel is my current favorite, and Button keeps them honest without being a douche.

Nice link! thanks


I'll of course want to see Kimi do well first!

[z31maniac]

I'll be pulling for Kimi this year as well (as well as Webber/Button, been a fan of both for a long time).

COTA is starting the ticket selling procces. GA tickets should go on sale this summer.

[Jean]

Is the race still going to happen in the states?!

[Hick]

just one race... pretty sure the NJ race was just to get COTA moving

Yeah I hope jersey was just a ploy,,,, last thing f1 needs is another street venue.... I really could give to shits about the backdrop of the ny skyline. Just give me a good track with some rolling topography and oppurtunity to make passes.

So stupid. The rules should be finalized at the end of the season. And if it is not safety related...let it be. We need more innovation once again, and less boxes that the car will fit into :-(
