I think they just want a normal street race that go's through the stadium, nothing like the race of champions at all.

That's good, because stadium races are pretty shitty, see ROC, WRC, DTM...

I still don't think it would be worthwhile. If they are going to have a race in London they should just do it in Central London, but that will never happen.

Susie Wolff will take part in a straight line test for Williams next Tuesday.

Thinking back into my memory, wasn't the Vancouver Champcar race a similar deal to what they're proposing in London, IE doing something with an Olympic venue after it had finished with the Olympics itself?

Still, probably not worth fretting about, Football always wins these things.

British F3 in 2005 I believe.

It will be time consuming and complex for the organisers to get permission to allow racing around the stadium, just like the Birmingham Superprix.

Plus where the money will come from? It got to be private investment, not public money.

Interesting, according to Danish TV2 News did Schumacher get a career first F1 win with an '86 Ferrari.

Been watching a lot of old F1 videos on Youtube. Made me realise how awesome Jean Alesi actually was and how completely rubbish Damon Hill was.

Thank you !!!!

Does "awesome" mean "fast enough to win several races and a WDC"? If yes, then Jean Alesi was certainly not. An epic showman with guts though.

Hill still was the second best driver of the field to M.Schumacher in the mid-90s after Senna died. And he beat a very, very fast Villeneuve in the same car in 1996.

Sure, not the best driver ever, and more a hard worker than a natural talent, but "rubbish" is way too negative IMO.

Do you guys remember Ecclestone's idea of artificial rain?
I guess we know that the SC made the field closer together. What about artificial SC-Periods or rain?
It could improve racing on kinda boring tracks or in kinda boring situation, who knows?
In the past I thought that it just wouldn't fit to F1's spirit, but the most persons thought the same about DRS and maybe Pirelli.
But they did indeed made the racing better!

For me it's difficult to have an opinion about that, but maybe you have
I just wanted to share my thoughts

No because while this race was brilliant, if it happened every weekend then it wouldn't mean anything.

Italian journalist Giorgio Terruzzi, who was one of the first to break the Alonso > Ferrari in 2010 story says that Vettel has agreed a 3y deal with Ferrari from 2014. Problem for Ferrari is who to fill the gap in 2013 - Massa or Webber?

Ever thought about the possibility of Alonso quiting? This is already his 11th year in f1 and in 2014 it would be his 13th year.

I can't see him retiring, he is at the top of his game and the sport and still seems to be enjoying every moment of it.

Well he said one time he would retire when he would become a 3-time WC. But dunno how serious we have to take that.

I can't see any reason why Vettel would want to go to Ferrari. Year after year RedBull is delivering the best possible car, and year after year Ferrari is disapointing.

Well, apart from the fact a Ferrari driver is leading the championship largely because a Red Bull broke down.

Every driver wants to drive for Ferrari at some point. It's all about the history and the prestige.
