ROSEWATER :mutley: :mutley: :mutley: :mutley:

The Germans lost Hockenheim to him obviously 5 million wasnt enough. we going to loose the British GP because of him.

Weve had races using Rosewater for the last 5 years in Bahrain - thats nothing new. I dont see what it matters - I watch for the 2+ hours of racing not the 5 seconds of champers spraying....

I dont think well lose the British GP - I could be wrong but my gut says not. Bernies playing hardball to maximise revenue - I dont like it but its a business - the shareholders wouldnt accept anything less.

Personally I think Brundle had it spot on - what well see happen is Bernie draw it out as long as possible (unless the BRDC sign the new contract) then offer a reduced price late on IF the other teams agree to 19 races next year. Most of the teams would agree to save the British GP so it would result in an extra race worths revenue to Bernie. Frankly it works for me - more races the better  

If we were to lose the British GP though that would be awful. I agree with Eddie Jordan that theres 4/5 races that should be protected for their legacy.

Anyone see the launch of the new Mclaren mp4-25 yesterday? IT looks amazing - really good looking car. A lot nicer than the Ferrari F10. Which is faster remians to be seen although there are persistant rumours in the Italian media that inside the Ferrari ranks theres a general belief that the F10 is lacking pace.

Bar Last year because they built that basically in a couple of months as they were focusing on winning the world championship and ballsed that up Mclaren in recent years have always built the sexiest f1 car in my opinion. They some how manage to make it work well and just look really good at the same time.
Ferrari do not do well with their fuel tanks. In The past they have used more fuel stops or the standard 2 and used their pit skills and Ross Brawns genius tactics to come out ahead. In the past when you had shuey who could turn out those fast laps before coming in with a very quick car when it is light you had a winning team. With no re-fuelling I can see why they would struggle, it is something they would need to get used to. Mclarren should be better on that front.

The mp4-25 I have to say that rear vent channel is striking.
