I do know one guy who moved his family over to Cologne, to join Toyota, the year before last. I also know a guy who moved his wife and 2 kids down to Hinwill to join BMW last March. I expect one of them, at least, will have to uproot again. It's a risky business where so many uncontrollable factors can end your career. It's not as simple as being good or bad at your job - which is essentially how it is for the drivers. That's the sad bit about it.

It'd be cool if he came clean about the touching live on the telly, from the other side. Maybe he'd make the glass slide over and cup the balls of a young boy.

Yeah, you just about get used to who's running in which position and then it all goes and changes again. Tsk.

I wouldn't have thought Toyota will sell the F1 facility in Cologne as it runs all their other motorsports ventures as well. They've also suggested that they'll redeploy the F1 workers within their motorsports departments wherever possible and there's been no mention of the team being up for sale. I'd think that Sauber will grab their spot. Worryingly, Renault have called an EGM for this afternoon as well. However, they reportedly turned down two bids for the team in the last month, signed Kubica and began a recruitment campaign. Those things don't really add up to a withdrawal, although anything's possible...

I'm not trying to be "clever", sarcastic or ironic but in what way is Paul O'Grady inspirational?

I've always wondered how to spell that.

Correct.

Yeah, I can't remember the details now. I'll do my best to remember to have a look tomorrow.

I'll have to check but I'm sure I read somewhere in our pre-race notes on Abu Dhabi that the Yas Marinas track featured a change in elevation equivalent to an 18 storey building.

The only way to decrease the aero effect on the car behind is to allow ground effects once more. Unfortunately corner speeds will increase to unsafe levels once more. I think it says a lot that 2000-2009 has been the first decade without a driver fatality and it's coincided with the aero war. Personally I think the aero regs are just about right and I agree about the double diffuser. It was clearly outside the spirit of the new regs and it's no coincidence that the best of the DDD cars won the championship in the first 7 races of the season. It's also no surprise that Brawn is bleating about the diffuser now it's of no advantage any more. I don't think it's the difference in overtaking though. Kobayashi proved that a bit of recklessness will get you past, but strategies call for cars to make it to the finish nowadays. Gung-ho manoeuvres lose races while conservativeness wins championships - ask Jenson. The biggest problem nowadays is the the Tilke tracks which are too narrow, especially on corner exits. Interlagos has noticeably wider corners and the overtaking is always awesome there.

Boyle or St Will?

Also, and I'm guilty of this too, you've forgotten USF1, mate.

You seem to have ignored the fact that Toro Rosso confirmed an unchanged line-up for 2010.

The peasants are revolting, Ari.

Then Senna supposed to be at Campos with Piquet rumoured too. Trulli rumoured at Lotus with Sato also rumoured there... Now I'm losing count... Kobayashi most likely at Toyota... Ermmmm

Ah right... Well we've got Alonso and Massa confirmed at Ferrari, Barrichello and Hulkenburg confirmed at Willies, Kubica confirmed at Renault with Glock a strong rumour, Toro Rosso unchanged and Force India rumoured to stay the same too, if that helps.

The grid looks a bit empty there. Also, I appear to have lost an employer. That's a worry.

You follow your heart, right? How many times in the past have you filled a fantasy footy team with Saints' players who have no real right to be there? Besides, what do I know? I tipped Button for the title on his first test day but didn't put him in my F1 team.

92% Never heard of Everclear but then I don't drink anything on the list except beer and the odd wine with a meal.
