Gran Premio d'Italia Rossi breaks leg in practice, has two operations and may be out for 6 weeks. He suffered a compound fracture of the tibia when he highsided in timed practice. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2010/rossi+second+operationPedrosa wins easily on the Repsol Honda, Lorenzo second (and not happy) Dovizioso third. Stoner a distant fourth on the Ducati after an epic battle with Melandri, and de Puniet. Hayden crashed out early after he lost the front. With Rossi out and the Honda's rapidly improving makes for a very interesting season.

Can someone explain to me again WHY Chelsea got rid of Jose Mourinho.
Clash of personalities apparently .... Jose and Roman didn't see eye to eye! You have to admit he may be a great coach but he's an arrogant s.o.b.!

Good to see Webber on pole and Kubica second. That Renault chassis must be improving.
Apparently Alonso crashed his Ferrari in practice 3 and damaged the chassis so badly they couldn't repair it. Poor old Fernando!! And amazingly he blamed himself for the crash!!

When pole wins for 11 yrs in a row, it's time to move the race somewhere else.
Or grab pole yourself if you are one of the protagonists!! Nice to see Schumi moving up the field .... even if it was due in part to Hamiltons misfortune!

Did anything come of the Hamilton Vettel pitlane debacle?
They were both slapped on the wrist with a wet bus ticket and given a 'reprimand' for driving in a dangerous manner!! Glad the police treat dangerous driving a bit more seriously! What would they have said if one of them had have clipped somebody in pit lane driving two abreast?

Does anyone know where you can buy merchandise (shirts, caps etc) in NZ?
Can only find overseas online stores I believe that Puma produces Red Bull F1 gear and you can buy it at the Foot Locker stores! FootLocker!! ....that means its going to be even more expensive!!

Eddie Jordan would beg to differ. Yeah but with Eddie Jordan its a case of 'do as I say not as I have done'. Lets face it his team performed pretty dismally considering the money he (or rather Benson and Hedges) poured into it Go Seb Vettel ... you deserve a win! And way to go Nico Rosberg showing the 'master' the way around this season so far!!

One days testing per.. Month? Day? Season?
So any of these new drivers who haven't 'Raced' in F1 before, could test?
Apparently its one day during the race season ie from the first race weekend to after the last race weekend. Teams can also conduct six one day straight line only aero tests. Teams can also substitute aero test days for 24 hours of full scale wind tunnel testing, in previous years this was limited to 60% scale models.

New rules for F1 2010:
New points system - winner gets 25 points, 2nd gets 20, 3rd 15, and the next seven places get 10, 8, 6, 5, 3, 2 and 1 point respectively. So top 10 get points. More points for winner is supposed to give drivers more desire to win rather than drive for points.
No refueling. means cars will have to start with 235 - 250 litres of fuel rather than the 90 - 120 litre tanks used previously. this will change tyre wear and handling characteristics of course. It also means the cars may be up to 15cm longer wheelbase to accomodate the larger tanks.
Minimum weight Increased by 15kg to 620kg.
Front tyre width Decreased from 270mm t0 245mm, supposedly to give a better handling balance. Bridgestone is also supplying harder tyre compounds so the tyres will withstand the extra fuel weight better.
No wheel rim fairings. Will create less turbulence behind cars apparently, aid in overtaking manoeuvres!? Also less to go wrong at pitstops!
Testing One days testing allowed as long as it is a test driver who hasn't raced F1 in the past two years. Only allowed to use an approved test circuit that is not on the F1 calender in the current season.
Looks like more tinkering to me. At least they have dropped that ridiculous 'medal' idea with the championship winner being the one who wins the most golds!!

if you like that then make sure you try Samuel Adams. Samuel Adams is a very tasty range of beers .... thoroughly recommend! And if you ever get to the Munich Bierfest try the Paulaner Hefeweizen ...... mmmmmm, Hefeweizen!!!

Had a glass or three of this while I was in San Fran.
A great deep amber colour, thick creamy head and a great full taste. Not too heavy and very quaffable. Recommend.
And while you are in Belgium try this.
Very high alcohol content, had it at a beer fest. in Switzerland and it had a faint aftertaste like it was fortified with gin!! Wouldn't drink too many though.

Proof that even you could be World Champion in a car like that. You can say one thing for Button .... at least he was able to take advantage of having the best car in the field , especially the first half of the season. There have been a lot of drivers in the past who haven't been good enough to do that!! Still believe Vettels the best driver at the moment!

I'm thinking this makes Britain the most successful nation in terms of F1 champions. Is Britain a nation? I thought it was the United Kingdom ..... and then the actual country is given for the F1 champion. ie: Jackie Stewart 3 times champion - Scotland Damon Hill 1 time champion - England etc In the immortal words of the great man ..... Murray Walker - "Unless I am very much mistaken ........ , and yes i am very much mistaken!!" Tofu you are right GB (Great Britain) it is .... and British drivers have won the F1 championship 14 times. The next closest is Brazil with 8 and Germany with 7, one man effort that last one!!
