Re: Juan Pablo Montoya to Penske Racing (Indycar)
Too bad he couldn't win the Daytona 500 but the prospect of him being able to be competitive again is very good. Maybe he can become the first to hit a jet dryer in both Daytona 500 and Indy 500. One thing's for sure, he's going to hit something...

Since his firing, Massa's been talking a lot -- maybe too much for his own good? Says he won't race for Alonso anymore and is out for himself = ticking off Ferrari and inviting them to mess with his car / strategy / head Talks openly about being in talks with McLaren = potentially ticking off McLare...

Never mind the past, right now they can't depend on Massa and Raikkonen seems better.

Re: What does a race engineer do exactly?
A race engineer tells the driver which lap to crash on, thereby engineering the race. He's also responsible for occasional pit-to-car talk to entertain the TV audience and mislead the other teams. Other than that, he pretty much just has to sit in a chair watching TV and look ticked off when his dri...

Na he didn't. The Spa win was a joke and had Massa won the WDC it would have been tainted. He drove well, but he didn't deserve it more.

Re: raikkonen to move to ferrari;source: finnish report
Why would Ferrari pay off Alonso to re-hire Raikkonen? The car is the problem, not the driver. also, why would they want both Alonso and Raikkonen? They'd just take points off each other. This is just someone's way of making some advertising money while they know answers won't come for a few weeks.
