Speaking of the good old days, do you remember when Barachello and Button were together at Brawn and Rubens pretty much dominated the entire race (sorry, can't remember what race it was), but you hear Brawn come on the radio right after Rubens wins and says, "great job, just like we used to do it back in the old days" That was awesome. Although, I'm surprised Rubens didn't say, "Almost like the old days!!!!, this time I don't have to slow down and let my team mate pass me for the win" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I remember. Whenever Brawn gets emotional on the radio to his driver, I get emotional as well. You can hear it in his voice that he is a very sincere guy and means what he says. :

I've debated flying down for the race. Hotel prices are an absolute rape.

Banker Gribkowsky admits he accepted bribes from F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone
Bernie EcclestoneGerhard Gribkowsky, the banker at the centre of the corruption case relating to the sale of Formula 1, has admitted that he received bribes from the sport's commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone.

In a surprise development in the long-running case, Gribkowsky told a court in Munich that allegations he received $56 million (USD) in bribes from Ecclestone in 2006 and 2007 over the sale of F1 to current owners CVC were "essentially true".

Alonso and Vettel could co-exist as team-mates, say Ferrari
Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali believes Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel could drive as team-mates without problems.

His comments come after it was revealed that Vettel, the 2010 and 2011 world champion, has a pre-contract with Ferrari for 2014.

Domenicali said: "I think they are both intelligent guys and they could easily co-exist together."

F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone claims the arrangement "wouldn't be a problem".

Wow, Webber is struggling today. Kovaleinen was quicker than him in Q1 in Valencia.

Very wild and awesome qualifying. Schumacher did not make it into Q3 either. Maldanado and Grosjean were super quick making it to P3 and P4 resectively. I thought they had it locked up for a while. One of them could very well podium again.

I went to the Formula 1 Expo in Austin, TX last weekend. It was nothing truly amazing but still a pretty cool thing to visit. I can't wait for November

Here are my pics:

Now Hamilton looses 11 seconds due to a failed jack in getting back to their typical pit-stop form

I have heard them say Raikkonen ignored yellow flags and is under investigation.

The COW is surely faltering as Webber is losing positions.
