I want a mandatory wet race (well, its quiet cheaper than a night race, admit it) at least once a year, placed at Venecia.

A race should be hosted at Satilgrad, eastern bank of the Volgograd, where the nazis never reached and... DAMN IT!

Kubica can do a lot better than going to Renault, he'd be better off at Qadbak.

A F1 race in the US, at a proper road circuit, that doesn't have competing events to draw away crowds...like nearby ostrich races!

Kubica is definitely going to Renault. They saw his profiled and said "Woah! That's Alain Prost!".

I wish people would stop saying Heidfeld is outdriving Kubica - Kubica is the one generally doing the outdriving, when he actually gets on even terms with Heidfeld.

Bring back Takuma Sato! This is why there is no overtaking in F1...because Taku isn't there to attempt insane moves anymore.

Scandals distract us from how bad some of the races can be.

At least it is Saturday night/Sunday morning sleep deprivation for you.

I overtook Jenson Button once. He was in a Lamborghini, and I was in a VW Polo. It was easy.

Kovalainen's McLaren contract unfortunately disintegrated into the Degner Tyre Wall during Qualifying.

However Takuma Sato has still recieved no phone calls from Martin Whitmarsh. Damn.
