German F1 GP starts tomorrow. With Schumacher back and a quarter of the field German drivers they still can't sell it out, sold 61,000 of 75,000 and do not expect to sell them all. But they do hope to cover expenses! Nice, build the track and do all the work and hope to cover expenses. Are you reading this Tavo? Let's hope we have another good race, although I prefer the old layout, funky as it was with the long forest section.

You have to love Bernie, stirring up FOTA again, and Monaco. He says he sees himself as a "fireman" putting out fires, and if there aren't any he starts them!

Red Bull have dropped Brendon Hartley from their support, not surprised, Brendon came on strong when he was younger but seems to have stalled lately. Maybe if he had a haircut he might go quicker? Vergne has been rewarded for his driving in F3 with a step up to FR 3.5 alongside Australian Daniel Ricciardo. Great article in Autosport the other week, still catching up after the move, on why the current crop of drivers are so strong, and the programs like the Red Bull junior drivers are given a lot of the credit.

Here in AZ things are heating up, and not just the temperature. Logo almost there and lots of great ideas being thrown around. At this stage of a project there are always more things you can do than there is time, the trick is to know what to do first and what to wait to germinate further. You want to tell the world, but that is not smart until we have things sorted and locked in. In a way what we are planning is unique, so we have to develop our own ideas and see what works.
