he didnt just touch him he cost him valuable points in the drivers championship,
Rubens is now third behind vettel....

Hamilton still has loads to learn....i think we forget technically he's still a rookie compared to the likes of rubens/fisichella.


On another note, Kimi is getting medical treatment for his eyes. He was blinded by the fuel that came of the mclaren....

any news on kimi hope he ok shows wha a good driver he is cos he carried on racing

i wish bernie would just retire or something already just when you think he cant get any more stupid with his comments he comes out with this gem

Kimi is okay he says he just went as a precaution...he laso said that if he had perfect vision in the race he would have tried to overtake more.....I think Lewis and The Iceman are on the comeback!

glad he ok next season is gonna be amazing i think

Adam Carroll may have slipped under the radar since he captured the A1GP championship for Team Ireland back in May but he hasn't been idle and the low profile has been deliberate.

He has been quietly working away behind the scenes, planning his racing future, but now crunch time is approaching for the 26-year-old Portadown driver.

Within the next few weeks the make-up of the 2010 Formula One grid will become apparent and with four new teams set to join the grand prix ranks, it is probably now or never for Carroll.

If he is to realise his dream of graduating to F1 it must surely happen in the coming weeks. And, I'm told, the signs are encouraging.

After his impressive double victory which secured the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport for Ireland at Brands Hatch almost six months ago, Carroll took the conscious decision to sit out the summer.

He had offers to drive in a number of competitions including the football themed Superleague and the Formula Masters series but rejected them, opting to concentrate instead on his F1 goal.

He has been in talks with a number of teams and with the potential backers who will be needed to ease him into the seat of a grand prix car.

Drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen may earn multi-million dollar fortunes but hopefuls like Carroll must fund their graduation.

The payback, if they are successful, will come later which is the gamble investors and sponsors are being asked to take.

But Carroll has the credentials to be an F1 success.

He has been a winner at every level of motor racing through Formula Ford, Formula Three, GP2 and most recently A1GP.

He has raced against — and beaten — at least half of the current F1 grid including 2008 World champion Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Heikki Kovalainin, Timo Glock, Sebastien Buemi and Toni Luizzi.

They only thing he has lacked is money and the opportunities it brings.

The summer objective for Carroll and his advisors has been to raise the three-to-four million dollar budget required for the next step.

Shortly we will know if they have been successful.

Carroll won't — or more accurately can't because of confidentiality agreements — reveal which teams he is talking to but rumours continue to link him most closely with the new Manor Grand Prix operation which is expected to take to the grid next year under the Virgin banner.

The situation, however, has been complicated by the announcement of the exit of BMW-Sauber from the end of this season, putting established drivers like Robert Kubica (already snapped up by Renault) and Nick Heidfeld onto the market.

The Sauber team may yet survive under new owners but there are still questions hanging over the future of Toyota and their drivers Glock and Jarno Trulli.

But the encouraging news is that Carroll is still very much in the mix, whether with Manor or one of the other ‘expansion' teams — Campos, USF1 and Lotus — or even an existing team, like Williams who are expected to drop Kuzuki Nakajima (along with Toyota engines) and may lose Rosberg to Brawn.

how long has he been driving? i kinda do recognise the name be cool if he can get his F1 break

another day another team rumour for kimi
i cant see him going to toyota if he stays in F1 why would a driver of his level go to one of the lower teams when he has 1 of the big teams with a good car snapping at his heels

The opening laps of Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix were a busy time for the Interlagos race stewards, with several incidents taking place in close succession. As a result Toyota’s Jarno Trulli, McLaren and their driver Heikki Kovalainen have each been handed penalties.

On the first lap Trulli and Force India’s Adrian Sutil tangled as the Italian attempted a move on the German. After considering video evidence and telemetry data, the stewards decided not to take any further action, labelling the coming together as a racing incident.

But after ‘failing to leave the track as required by the marshals immediately after the incident and aggressively confronting Sutil’, Trulli was found to have breached Article 151 (c) of the 2009 FIA International Sporting Code, which rules against ‘any act prejudicial to the interests of any competition or to the interests of motor sport generally.’ Consequently he was reprimanded and fined US$10,000.

With the safety car deployed for the Trulli-Sutil incident, there was drama in the pit-lane soon after, when Kovalainen exited his pit too early, leaving with his fuel hose still attached to the car. Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen, who was right behind the emerging McLaren, got a face fuel of fuel, which then ignited.

McLaren were fined $50,000 for the unsafe pit stop release, while their Finnish driver was given a drive-through penalty. As this was handed down after the race had finished, 25 seconds were instead added to his race time, dropping him from ninth to 12th in the final results.

An earlier Lap One incident between Kovalainen and Ferrari’s Giancarlo Fisichella, in which the McLaren driver was sent spinning into the Italian after being tagged by Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel, was deemed a racing incident.


Havent heard anything yet, but I do see him reaching a decision this week, he wont play the come and get me game, if he wants to race he'll race, money isnt a problem anymore he has millions (Kimi that is)

i'm glad they got penalties marshalls doing the right thing

Yes, they still need to assign a marshall who'll go to every race, consistency is the only answer there.

i'm suprised they dont have 1 or 2 would be so much better

its a stupid thing that they dont, wouldnt be surprised if a certain stumpy idiot is to blame for this!

Another day another rumour:



Toyota Team President John Howett admits that Kimi Raikkonen is unlikely to join the team because the driver is asking for too much money.

Having admitted to approaching the Finn with what they believed to be a "serious offer in the current market", Howett seems resigned to missing out on the former World Champion's service unless he drops his wage demands significantly.

"He gave us back a figure that is much too high," the Briton told Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell.

"He says he has two options, so we are going to wait," he added.

It is believed that Raikkonen is also in talks with McLaren, the team he spent five years with before joining Ferrari, and that the 30-year-old is requesting 25 million Euros to secure his services.

oh bernie is def to blame every F1 cock up is down to some crap that pours from him like i say he needs to retire already

i saw that earlier but didnt have time to post it cos was headed out door so the 2 options are mclaren and who?

renault I think, I would hope he goes to Mclaren renault is a big step down in my opinion.

i thought redbull were in the mix? ahhhh just choose mclaren already kimi i cant keep up with all the rumours

What a brilliant site!

:joker: some people have far too much time on their hands bless them

That site is great!!!!! Bookmarked! :)

Still no word on Kimi, I imagine it will be this week, so he can get away from questioning at Abu Dhabi and then just have his own time after the race...

ahhhhh come on kimi i dont do waiting and i wont be watching the last race cos i'm going flame and thunder at santapod so want a decision before then

I don't know what the thrill is with F1. Driving around in circles for a couple of hours. Only worth watching at the beginning for the crashes.

I know i really think tomorrow or Friday and then he can be questioned by the media before the arce and Ferrari can pay him what he's owed......easiest 25million ever.

each to their own plus crashes dont just happen first few laps

ice i hope that is the case from the reads of that last article if it to be believed then he is staying in F1 its just who he racing with
