They say goodbye to Silverstone for the Formula One does this hold for the last time. Whether there is also a departure from Formula One is not yet out.

silverstone Do not feel like politics, I would like it if you could once again have to worry about the sport. But that is probably hard for either of the months-long dispute over the rules and the ego evaporates tomorrow, whether it is really hard. Is stable at the moment: There is a service of the FIA ​​(100 million budget for 2010, like 2009 rules, more say in the rules by the team) on the FIA ​​consults straight. But even then would have to resign from the requirement that they share a nomination with a new Concorde Agreement. For the moment, the FOTA advises at Silverstone. Let's see what comes out there. Unfortunately, the race moved by something in the background. But there are some to consider:

In Formula One it is, how old in a marriage. Time talking to each other, not again. When you just talk to each other for any reason or not but then again, I do not, and probably the rest of the world, no longer comprehensible. It was in - basically - it was agreed before Turkey. There was then launched to the press report, the FOTA would think about a strike, which could provide an at least the impression that it was perhaps not quite yet fully agreed yet. Last week, when the first deadline for enrollment was expired, everything changed, because it was in line behind the scenes, come for the FOTA teams were permitted to enroll conditionally.

The FIA ​​had, the three teams without reservation in the list, because, as the FIA, the teams have a binding contract. Is that the agreement with Ferrari in 2005, but at Red Bull? Some also have an extra-contract? The teams are of course completely different. As usual, it could perhaps be boring.

A little later than usual, as was unfortunately done something much more. But a little distance helps even when viewed.

audi-le-mans-13 The "epic battle" all the world at Le Mans had expected, it was then in the end not yet. On the contrary - the victory was clear and there was nothing to shake it.

But how could this happen, because it was still equal to Sebring and, above all, Audi had the advantage of being able to drive one lap longer. That the Peugeot on the long straights at Le Mans would be faster was known, but Audi, experts and my guess is the distance obtained on the brakes and especially in the fast S-bends before the start / finish line again. At the: who should be the perfect Audi team at Le Mans beat already, if not they themselves?
