again a great game with @NazionalePiloti tonight! was fantastic to play alongside cannavaro and nakata!

Pretty funny that D'Ambrosio could choose between football and racing. He tested at RSC Anderlecht and almost got offered a contract, but when he went karting during a holiday he was sure that he wanted to become a racecar driver :lol:

Nico Rosberg signs fresh deal with Mercedes GP for 2013 and beyond

That puts an end to the Ferrari speculations then.

Well, only for Nico. Massa's best result this season is 5th place that he has achieved three times. Since Ivan Capelli, no other Ferrari driver has failed to get on podium during one season. Capelli did start 14 race for Ferrari, Massa has done more races than that this season.

To be expected. Too bad as Jerome is driving a good season and really doesn't the boot.

Chances of him getting another are slim, so it'll be goodbye Jerome.

I meant the Rosberg-to-Ferrari speculations obviously.

Glad to see we'll have some F1 action in May at Mugello next year, with that long three week break between the European leg of the season.

Very nice! Only the logo needs a more subtle gradient I think.

After beating Mansell's record for the number of laps led in a season in India, Vettel revealed that he received a letter from the 1992 champion congratulating him on the feat.

"I got a nice note from Nigel after the race – which I think is really nice. I would say I am more proud of receiving the letter than the actual record, because there is always someone at some stage who will do something better, or faster, with a different style," said Vettel.

"Nigel said well done, and he was very happy it took me 17 races instead of his 16 races! It is more an honour to get the appreciation, to find the appreciation, rather than the actual record."

Mansell always finds one way to dig the knife in

Weren't tracks, on average, shorter in 1992. I mean, Hungary had 77, Adelaide had 80 laps, and places like Estoril, Kyalami and Magny-Cours were in the 70's as well. Now we're in the 3.5mile Tilke era, most have 50-60 laps.

You've probably got a point there. After all, Mansell didn't lead any of Canada, didn't lead much of Belgium, Italy, Japan and Australia yet still held the record. Whereas Seb has lead pretty much everything apart from Nurburgring, Silverstone and some of Japan.

I suppose you could get some geek to figure out all the percentages and see who is ahead but you have to apreciate both drivers dominated thier experienced team mates with equal equipment and always pushed to the limit in every session and the races. :thumbsup:
