Join Paul, Mark and I for the review of the final race of the season–Abu Dhabi. Yes, I managed to reover from the visual overload enough to have a word or two about the race but Mark and Paul are always on form and enjoyable as ever.

@PaulC – The McDonald, Cosworth Analogy did get good laughs but here are somethings that you need to take into account
a) In 2006 Cosworth was reliable engine, Only other engine that was reliable was Renault ( the constructor champions). Cosworth was the only engine that was capable to run well in Highest allowable revv limit.
b) Norbert Haug owes his job to cosworth, thanks to exit of Cosworth, McLaren/Mercedes got Cosworth Engineers who were out of job. Its not a mere coincidence that McLaren never retired due to Engine Faliure after 2006 season. Cosworth has hired some of those personnel in recent months.
c) Mark H and Todd(NC) did cover the fact that Cosworth is the only engine that is under “development”.
Hence Cosworth is not a bad proposition. Albeit its a unknown so we won’t know till the actual season start.
fair enough. What i meant was, it would be hard for them to get it all right in the first year, and it would be a shame for Vettel to not have a fair shot at the championship due to the growing pains of a completely new engine. I’d rather them stick with renault or even go with Toyota so they can build on their success this year
I had seen reports on Paddocktalk referring that RBR is sticking with Renault for 2010. If the tone change in recent weeks from RBR camp about how good Renault Engines were and good working relationship with Renault are any indicators, the paddocktalk reports may have truth to it.
PS – the aforementioned Paddocktalk reports were not from their rumour bin :D. They were in their “News Section
About Nakajima not scoring with Williams, I think the last time that happened was in 1999. Alessandro Zanardi 0 pts and Ralf Schumacher 35 pts.
Oh, and there is an article in this month’s F1 Racing magazine called F1′s worst drivers ever! : http://www.f1racing.co.uk/home
OOOh. Nice one. I hadn’t recalled that era. Nice job!
Henri Pescarolo – a better team boss than driver. That’s the worst Williams driver candidate that I tortured everyone over. Apologies ;)
I am glad you didn’t go with Webber. I promise I wouldn’t have held it against you….
