    That's not as bad as David Lynch dumping Isabella Rosselini by fax. I mean, dumping Ingrid Bergman's daughter is bad enough, but to do it via fax?

    @Murilee Martin: Crazy man makes crazy movies. Maybe he was more focused on dumping the daughter of roberto Rossellini. Either way, it seems like a profound error.

    There's a very good reason for the firing-by-text. Toro Rosso's mobile sponsors gave them free text messages, and the team were determined to cut costs. Heck, do you know how much those international plus roaming calls cost?!!

    So, the text message got through? The writing's been on the wall for a long time now.

    The team could have been a little classier about it. But I guess you shouldn't expect that from Red Bull's second string team.

    Bourdais has a point - the firing was not classy. But since he only had two points for the season, we could all see the writing on the barrier walls.

    At the age of 30, Seabass was a geezer. Did he get his text message on a Jitterbug?

    @mclawdog: C'mon, you know that if they have ANY success at all there'll be more teams jumping on the 'F1 the way someone thought it used to be' bandwagon.


    Then there will be a new Bernie, then revenue battles, then we'll be right where we are now.


    But hopefully with a few good years of racing in the middle. Personally I'd like to see a return to the '80s turbo madness, but there are lots of interesting eras to choose from...

    So they haven't decided what to call it yet? F0.5? F1/2? EFF-it? These are the kind of questions that keep me awake at night, staring at the ceiling.

    OK, here's my opinion on this. I think Bernie and co are screwing F1 up with excessive rules and regulations. I would actually like to see more variations and all in the technology that F1 cars use. However, the players shouldn't be the referees, and I can't imagine how they will go about organising everything, especially if McLaren and Ferrari are at loggerheads, which, I assure you, they will be at some point or other.


    Also, would the BBC have the TV rights to this new championship? Please, please, please, it's simply awesome in an "oh-my-god-everyone-is-running-away-oh-noes-he-didn't-make-it" way whenever Martin Brundle does the pitwalk.


    The solution to F1's current plight, ladies and gentlement, if I may, is to make me the president of FIA and FOM. I pledge to keep the teams in the championship by giving them more financial gains, and removing unnecessarily restrictive technical and research regulations. I would work for the low, low price of just two Ferraris, a yacht, and a basement in Chelsea with a couple of Nazi hookers.
