    Correction:

    Kubica is already training for his new job by secreting cyanide capsules in place of his molars.

    I am so confused now. So what is the story with Renault? Isn't the team banned from racing for 2 years? Or did they just decide to kick out the decision makers?

    @CBR600F4i: The 2 year ban was suspended, to be enforced if they commit a similar act in the future. Basically, they said they'd ban them if it happened again, but didn't enforce the ban outright because they didn't want Renault to leave the sport.

    I like Kubica and all, but: Isn't moving to Renault more of a lateral move than a "promotion"?

    @Maxichamp:

    Considering BMW F1's status for 2010, I'd say any seat is a promotion.

    Sounds like his current teammate may be along for the ride as well.

    @e30m3: Not really a need to route for them, there's really only one way around the circuit, and if a driver gets lost he can just wait for someone to come around and then just follow them.

    It's going to be tough to match Brawn's performance this season. But I hope that someone steps up to try. Maybe this is ProDrive's turnkey operation, backed with BMW engines, which might also find their way into a few Aston's eventually.

    Interestingly, Robert Kubica has expressed an interest in Rallying and recently purchased a WRC spec Skoda Fabia.

    I hope if Theissen does take over the team, he'd use his first name.

    "It'sa-win! MarioGP!"

    And here's hoping the rules don't outlaw the use of thrown turtles and oil slicks.

    "permanent backmarkers in the 2009 season, bringing up the rear with Force India and Toro Rosso."

    When I originally read about this, I thought that they were pulling out immediately, not at season's end.

    I'm hoping Peter Sauber can buy the team for pennies on the Euro and keep the outfit going. They were always one of my favorites as an independent. Sauber raced with class and a good deal of innovation.

    @f86sabre: I hear Dave Richards has a line on a crapload of Arabian cash, a scrappy lil' British marque, and is looking for a way to play. That's glorious sweetness in my book, especially seeing as how the Max and Bernie show didn't want to let him play around in their sand box via the bid process.

    Or, another poo-let in Bernie's knickers, The Ronster pulls a Ross and comes out of the woodworks with cash and drive.

    Or, Piquet steps in again just to ensure that his son has a ride in a series that he does not belong in.

    Truly the possibilities are wide open. There's a good amount of paper tigers out there looking for a berth on the grid, and the foolish faith to believe they can achive more than those who've gone before them.

    Oh, OH! Throw Paul Stoddart somewhere in the mix if the budget constraints truly come into being.

    All in all, BMW-Sauber is dead, Long live Sauber F1!

    So what motorsport is BMW in now? Anything? Maybe they should do the Dakar rally and give their trucks a sport heritage.
