Seems this photo was taken when Robert already took one of those Cinzano bottles It could be taken in a better moment, but shows that anybody can appear disgusting in a photo if has been done by wrong hands.

He’s not a child crying for have some attention or get a better treat, he’s just making notice himself that he feels ready to push the car and the team to win races and probably have a chance to win the championship, he wants the team to be confident with him that he has got what it takes. Maybe he felt not enough regarded by his colleagues. If I was Kubic,a I meant so this message, because the goals from this season in BMW-Sauber team were high, but they succeeded and when were approached their goals something happened in there… Same thing happened in Renault also, but when they goals were approached they didn’t stop on going further on the improvement of the car, although 2009’s car should be another design.

Comment on How to save the German Grand Prix ? Few tips by Kotenok

Kotenok — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:05:46 +0000

Do not have any real good ideas… There are tracks which host GP’s which doesn’t need big help to save them from economical crisis at all, as the Spanish one, because its hold by private partners and the amount supplied by ht government is always well invested, I do think that other tracks have just few events a year and that’s the main problem. They base their economy in the F1 race once a year (or unknown categories that do not interest to the wide public), that’s why maybe these tracks begin to fail now!! The opportunities to host great events are always little, I do not understand why so many circuits are appearing last years as mushrooms; but for sure hosting an F1 race yearly, when Bernie wants it, has to be a very juicy business, so I understand why everybody wants to host races. Anyway, that is gonna crack someday… I would like to encourage the organizers to spend wisely the money to bring more kinds of motorsport competition to their facilities, this would help to maintain itself their economical situation, bettering the offer to the public.

By other hand, I do not believe that German tracks have those great problems to survive as they want to make us think… But they shall be already passing the first moments of panic when they began to alternate between Hockenheim and Nürburg track, the incomes aren’t the same for sure and yearly maybe wasn’t such a scary feeling until now, but during a decade they shall notice that the incomes are not that big as before, also lacking a German champion there doesn’t help to bring much people every year to both events…

Cost cutting could begin with standard parts and components, this I would agree only if the teams have a chance to choose between what they want to build (attached to regulation) and those provided standard components. Secondly, there are too many barriers into get into F1, I do not see when the next team could join the F1 championship, I only imagine when the next team could leave the championship… Since next year the satellite teams are not allowed, but they already are disappeared, but the idea wasn’t really bad. Even if Frank Williams doesn’t share the idea (and I understand why he wants it so), the famous compensation rate could work since the teams could chose what they spend yearly, those which decide to rise their budged in benefit of their improvements should be paying a kind of tax to those teams which decide to spend “little”, and take to the circuits competitive cars with reasonable costs. I’m sure to tell that this would cut spendings when the big manufacturers wouldn’t like to simply gift money to the private teams HEHEHE Otherwise, this would equal the economical situation of those who have too much and those which haven’t enough. That could be called the “Robin Hood” tax That’s not a great idea after all, anyway, cost reduction is an utopia in this sport, but something could help to spend it more efficiently.

Robert needs to focus on the big picture. Sure BMW fell off in the last two races of the season but the are looking very promising for the next season to really strongly compete for the title. Saying that though who knows what politics are going on behind the scenes!

that was exactly the reason I hope that China may decide to pull the plug:
