Montoya Warns Coulthard

Ok…I’m a Montoya fan…but this is pushing it. Juan obviously has a seat at Mclaren in 2005 and barring some miracle, Coulthard will be the one out the door when Juan joins the team.

No F1 in Penske future

The best way to hide the truth is an out right denial. At least that is my fading hope for Penske’s and America’s return to F1. That is the only way to negotiate with that sly fox Eddie Jordan, mis-direction.

F1 in Korea?

It seems like Bernie has a 100 different tracks and countries lining up for 18 (maybe) available race dates. Which is why the man is a genius and irreplaceable on the F1 scene. How does he get these promotors to commit to racing on no guarranteed date? Only the Master of F1 knows for sure!
