Toyodor

Well, it is 2am round about now and I keep reading very loud whispers about Toyota pulling out of F1 with immediate effect and just closing the team down. Not selling it. No nothin'. Just game over.

I'm bummed in a sense since Toyota looked like they were making some progress. I had always hoped they'd secure at least one win... but doesn't look like that is going to happen now.

Honestly, I probably wouldn't even really give a fiddler's fart about it all had stupid Timo Glock not skinned his knee and vertebrae and opened the door for that loveable and adorable ragamuffin Kamui Kobayashi to go racing.

I have absolutely no 100% solid reason as to why this guy amuses me as much as he does, other than the fact that he's pissed off Button and driven hard in his two races and managed to pick up some points quite quick. I just hope the guy has found a few supporters inside the F1 circle and can hopefully land a ride with one of the new teams.

Hell... Sauber's probably got a seat open now that they are a team again saying they had a provisional spot and now that Toyota's about to call it a day. Come on Peter Sauber. Kamui Kobayashi is worth a shot. This incarnation of Sauber wouldn't even be stepping up to go racing had Toyota not just pulled out.

However, for all I know the management at Toyota were just saying Kobayashi would get the drive next year since they knew their team was toast. Trying to do The Kob a favor, raising his stock.

Either way, I hope Mr. Kobayashi finds a ride next year. Obviously the guy has made a good impression on me and I am very suspicious of Japanese F1 drivers in general. They never seem to deliver... yet this guy has my attention for some reason.

Lastly, I'm glad Max Mosley's prediction of the manufacturers making a semi mass exodus is finally coming true. As crazy and stupid as some folks thought Mad Max was, you can't say the guy didn't know what he was talking about even if the reason the manufacturers are leaving are for different reasons than Mosley predicted. Or not.

Max probably didn't expect to be on his way out with the manufacturers however I am glad he had the foresight to get the costs lowered and get Cosworth back.

Interesting and/or scary

This is all getting really weird. I have no clue what is going on. I hope in the end Max Mosley pisses off and agrees to retire like he is supposed to. I hope Bernard Ecclestone stops being a greedy wrinkly old pixie and gives the teams some more money and stops setting up new races in places for the sake of money and not motorsport. I'm tired of those two old knobs! While I respect both greatly for what they have done for Formula Juan Racing over the past few decades they both need to go away now and enjoy their money elsewhere.

This is about not taking shit offa no one. This is a revolution. I hope it all works out and all ends on paper as it has all started on paper. Hopefully everything will right itself... but I'm kind of nervous. Max Mosley is starting to remind me of a rabid crazy old dog which is quite unsettling. It is like he's nothing left to lose so he's just going to keep being more and more of a twat.

Maybe this is a conspiracy to destroy F1 legally as we know it. Maybe Max, Bernie, and the teams are all in on it... or else this really is just an absurd power struggle. One or the other though.

Either way, it looks like war?

I listen to BBC World News at night when I go to sleep. Something about those proper British voices talking about depressing world events just lulls me to sleep. Even though F1 is FAR more popular overseas than in the US, I still always get excited when they talk about F1 on Sunday nights after a race. Usually they just tell you the top 3 results and play a little interview blurb of the winner... so last night I was quite surprised to hear that the 8 FOTA teams have decided to break away from F1. Especially since they mentioned the breakaway about 4 times an hour for two hours and sometimes would give detailed versions of what happened which I appreciated since I wanted nothing more than to get up and hop on the internet, which obviously was not an option at 3am.

Usually I'm on top of my F1 news but I moved 2 weeks ago and have yet to get cable/internet/phone set up in my apartment so I only get to read up on F1 news every few days when I swing by my folks house.

So I was truly surprised and nervous when the BBC told me what was going on.

One scandal ends, a new one begins!

This is too good! News of the World some how came across a 5 hour video of a recent sex romp involving FIA president Max Mosley hanging out with a bunch of hookers having his ass beat bloody pretending to be a Jew in a concentration camp.



An S&M orgy as it were. While that's pretty fucked up, what makes it all the better is that his pops was a Fascist Nazi sympathizer during WWII. The video captures sure look like old Max. Since nothing has been confirmed or denied yet I'll just post the link to the News of the World story for all to read, laugh, and cringe at...

I can't wait to see how this all unfolds!



That is Max's wife. They met at a fascist Union Movement, so you'd think she'd be all for this junk. Maybe he just doesn't find her attractive any more and had to search elsewhere for his Nazi S&M sex romps.

Is Jackie Stewart a halfwit?

No, to most people Jackie Stewart is an amazing Formula One stalwart and is not a halfwit, unless you are Max Mosley, then yes, JYS is in fact a halfwit who "goes round dressed up as a 1930s music hall man." Max also goes on to claim that "It's annoying that some of the sponsors listen to him because he's won a few championships. But nobody else in Formula One does - not the teams, not the drivers. He's a figure of fun among drivers."

I'm sorry Max, but you just don't fuck with JYS. While he is very old, much like you, he is also a ninja who dresses according to Standard Scottish Ninja Code and if Jackie has taken true offense to your statements then he will probably kill you in your sleep. If you are lucky, he might just kill your dog and pour sugar in your gas tank.

If Jackie doesn't do any of this then I will make good on my threat from 2005 to you of biting you on the cheek, which was the threat I made if you refused to help the Michelin shod teams at the USGP. If I recall correctly, you did in fact refuse to help those teams, and all the people that tuned in to watch a Formula One race. Well, I never followed thru with that threat due to the fact that I have been very poor the past few years. But so help me God, I still want to bite your cheek because I'm still mad about that shitty USGP I had to watch and now I'm furious over your knocking Jackie Stewart!

Max, when I'm done with you yer gonna look like this:

That is if Sir Jackie doesn't fuck your shit up first!

Where do you get off making most of these statements? Ok, he does look silly, but he's allowed to because he is so fucking cool. You Max, are not, and have never been. You have to wear very nice tailored suits all the time because you just aren't awesome enough to pull off what Sir Jack can.

Maybe some sponsors listen to Jackie because he has been around forever and has a brilliant nose for business, not to mention driving. While I'm sure you are a very rich man, as you were born into money, Jackie is a self made man, nor might I add, is he a failed race car driver.

Jackie: Self made millionaire and three time F1 world champion.
Max: Son of a fascist politician, born into money, and failed race car driver.

While I'm sure EVERYBODY in the paddock gets a good laugh when Jackie walks by wearing his Standard Scottish Ninja garb, I find it hard to believe that the drivers don't take him very seriously. The old man knows his shit. He is a sage. However, maybe I am misreading the comment and by "figure of fun among the drivers" you just mean that they like to party down with him. I know I sure would like to. Maybe Jackie and Kimi go to tittie bars together and get smashed and wave their dicks around together while making fun of the fact that Fernando Alonso looks a lot like Borat*. Maybe they drunkenly talk about how hot Nico Rosberg is and how they both secretly would like to make love to him?

Either way, don't go throwing stones Mr. Mosley. I doubt very strongly that there is very much love for you around the paddock and the only reason people even pretend to take you seriously is that if they piss you off you start lobbing around $100 million dollar fines.

You bully! You dick!

*See, Fernie Alonso really does have an incredible likeness to Borat:

"What, shit?"
"Yeah"
