Di Montezemolo has another rant at Bernie

http://www.planetf1.com/driver/3213/8350418/Di-Montezemolo-Time-to-end-one-man-show-

I think the engine moan is a but rich considering Ferrari are the reason we dont have a more road car relevant engine format coming in.

Its just decending into continual bickering now.

The Art of War is down to less than a fiver on Kindle. I've sent a sample to my tablet to see how it looks, might treat myself

Let me know what you think. I was tempted but it looks like a marmite book.

Skeeter · 28 Dec 2012 at 13:34

Yeah, I was a bit dubious at £25. But for less than a fiver I might. I just want to see what it renders like on my tablet before stumping up the reddies. I'll check it out tonight and let you know.

No idea how a graphic comic style book would work on a normal Kindle though?

Skeeter · 28 Dec 2012 at 19:23

Being a comic you can't change the font size. Its impossible to read on a normal kindle and right at the smallest limit of being readable on my 7" tablet. 10" tablets and iPads should be fine. Still undecided if I'm going to buy it...

Brabham name to return to F1?

Maybe Genii are looking to steal yet more F1 history?

I can't think of who else it may be on the lookout for a new name... Unless it means a possible team buyout/new entry?

Wish Lotus would rename themself something original though, even if they use a current sponsor or hell call themselves Genii.

They should rebrand the team Enstone F1 and have done with it.

The argument over the name just seems to be about using the name, rather than someone looking to setup a team, so I imagine it would be for a tie up with an existing team if the name were to come back.

Just putting this here so that all are aware -

I guess it's time to say that any unnecessary bickering/trolling/whatever you want to call it won't go unnoticed and we'll drop the hammertime this year

Best news I've heard in this forum in a good while.

As soon as any bickering started in threads I would swiftly exit, so tiresome. I imagine I wasn't alone in this and it deterred a lot of others too from contributing.

Best idea yet (did you get it from the F1 Racing mag article?

)

Skeeter · 3 Jan 2013 at 14:29

Congrats on the MOH.

And ditto on the car/driver sig. I've got a pic of Damon in his Jordan somewhere in the house.

Nope. Stopped reading that back in 1998!

Has Hamilton joined up with Mercedes yet?

Thee aint much f1 news being reported.

Kevin Clark · 3 Jan 2013 at 21:09

Pretty sure he joined up with them before Christmas. McLaren agreed he could leave before Jan 1st.
