Re: F1 2008
Well done to Lewis for scoring a big contract with Reebok.
Ed Gorman on the Times says it's worth £10m over 5 years for 10 days of promotional work with Reebok every year. So, that's £200,000 per day. Not that much, right?

Re: F1 2008
Predictions for Silverstone then.
I think it will be very close between Ferrari, Mclaren and BMW.
Edit. Having read this through its not really news is it .  |

Re: F1 2008
Predictions? Nelsinho will crash out at some point whilst Alonso will have another miracle race where he outshines the Renault but RedBull will still finish infront of him. Kimi will get another bowl locking for expecting to turn up and win as he usually does and we'll get an excuse for whatever Hamilton make a hash of.
So the usual race then, oh yeah Massa will thank the shell out of his sponsors again after he wins.

Re: F1 2008
I think Maccas will bag this one, particularly if it rains as the Ferraris don't seem to have the right pace on wet tracks.

Re: F1 2008
I strugle with just having the horn control on the steering wheel let alone a dozen different dials and controls.
Did you hear during the French GP lead up the commentry about how much work is involved in the drivers getting the car ready whilst leaving the pits after a stop, think it was Mark Webber who explained it, was a lot of work in a few seconds. Will see if I can find it when I get chance.

Re: F1 2008
I didn't hear it as I am in Japan and we don't get ITV
But if you find it, it'd be great to listen to/read  |

Re: F1 2008
True, forgot about him. Doing a "sato" is in the official F1 speak!
