F1: The Germans are Back!!!!

Way to go Mercedes and BMW!!!! A total German podium!!!!! No french or Italians! I saw that Red Bull will have a new engine supplier next year. Which one is it? Honda is back for the next round, correct? Toyota is doing well and ford is gone, so it's looking up in F1. I'd still love to see a Porsche engine someday. I also saw how Jordan might be getting a new owner shortly.

Red Bull will have Ferrari V8s next year. BAR are back for the next race, yes. Alex Schnaider said uncategorically that he's not selling Jordan, but you never know what never means.

Toyota has real form this season. Monaco wasn't really a course that their car could shine on, but Spa should be. I hope to see them do well at Indy for once. I've been wearing my Toyota hat the past few years, but they've shown nothing for it.

Kimi may be excellent, but he's no fun to watch win. What a robot. At least, when Michael was winning everything, there were things you could love or hate about him.

"Kimi may be excellent, but he's no fun to watch win. What a robot"

Ah....yep.

When he DOES smile, it's like his face is in unfamiliar territory, and returns
to "normal" very quickly. He discusses his latest win like someone relating the experience of a root canal. Odd....but the lad can sure drive! Michael always celebrates like each win might be his last.

Of course, if McLaren and Renault and Toyota had their way.....

I really like McClaren-Mercedes because it's German powered and Warsteiner is the sponsor (The BEST beer; #1 in Germany Try it!). I like Heidfeld in the Willams-BMW as he is German in a German car. So I'm still in a toss up. F1 still needs more then 10 teams. Poor Minardi. ford lost a bundle and walked away. A Warsteiner sponsored McLaren-Porsche with Heidfeld or one of the Schues would be ideal!

This is likely Heidfeld's one and only chance at a decent drive. He's always been competent, but never stunning. Don't get me wrong, I like that he has a decent car for once, but it's not likely he'll have another.

Who else heard that Scott Speed was going to be driving Red Bull's third car during Friday practice here at the USGP? Awesome.

Scott Speed's gonna drive? sweet man the red bull challenge is accualy doing waht is was suposed to. i was in it, dude it was fun. and yes the celebration may have been lack luster but didnt liek the prince die or sometihng?
