Surely these commentators aren't going to be here next year?

Hamilton takes 28 seconds in the pit lane, Raikkonen 22 seconds behind him, it's pretty damn ****ing obvious who's going to be in front.

Half-decent.

The Fuji Speedway and Suzuka circuits are to host the Japanese Grand Prix on alternate years starting in 2009, it was announced on Saturday. Fuji will stage the 2007 and 2008 events, with Suzuka returning to the calendar the following season.

The new arrangement is the result of discussions between the two circuits and Formula One Administration Limited (FOA), and is designed to promote the continued success of Formula One racing in Japan.

"We have concluded an agreement on the alternation of the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix between Fuji Speedway and Suzuka Circuit, to ensure the progress and success of keeping Formula One in Japan over the long term,†commented FOA CEO Bernie Ecclestone.

“I am very happy that Fuji Speedway and Suzuka Circuit made this possible. It also makes me very pleased that we will retain Suzuka as it has supported Formula One for 20 years and the large amount of our fans."

This year’s Japanese Grand Prix will be the first at Fuji since 1977, the circuit having also hosted the race in 1976, while Suzuka was home to the event every year between 1987 and 2006.

I watched the 2nd practice live on the 'net and caught part of a conversation that the American commentary team were having. I missed the start of it but the general gist was that Alonso had done something to jeopardise the jobs of all 800 McLaren employees.

One of the commentators also said that if he were a mechanic in Alonso's team then he wouldn't feel like doing anything on Alonso's car and even doubted whether he'd be bothered to start his car up!

They also mentioned that allegedly, Alonso asked Ron Dennis to replace Hamilton with a lesser driver and that when RD refused, Alonso grassed on the team to the FIA/WMSC about the e-mails between himself and Pedro De La Rosa.

Incredible stuff. Alonso seems to have upset a lot of people in McLaren.

They also discussed the fact that with McLaren now going to finish bottom of the Constructor's Championship, next season they will have the worst position in the pit lane, be sat next to the Spyker team and at many circuits won't have enough space for all of their gear, motorhomes etc.

Come on Lewis!!
