Not much use without the £120m or whatever Donnington actually need to complete all the work required (ok thats like being able to find £100 for Bernie lol)
Ran looking for this thread this morning as i wanted to say it too!
It almost has to be a merc powered team (i couldnt see him in a toyota really) but which one is the exciting bit! My moneys on Brawn, almost as he would be too good a challenge for hammy at McLaren...
Just watched this on the BBC site

Unusual to see a driver staring at a Alfa and wondering WTF has gone wrong.

Bernie has been prattling on about Donnington again.
He says it's not happening.
Bernie - Just do what You've wanted to do for years and give it to a middle or far eastern country for oddles of cash and then blame it on Silverstone for not being reasonable.

So then if Barrichello goes to Williams, who will drive alongside Button?
Kimi was made an offer by mclaren but reports suggests the money isn't high enough. If toyota then get kimi, toyota have made a huge mistake taking a driver thats passing up wins for money.
Lets face it kimi is well past the driver that used to sit in a mclaren. Toyota are the only team on the grid that would pay him more than 8-10 million for the return he will give them.
I'd love the old Kimi to return but I think he's achieved all he wanted and now it's just topping up the balance before going to spend the rest of his life having fun. He clearly doesn't enjoy F1 that much.

You think? Kimi has been awesome in the second half of the season - highest scoring driver in a car that's not the best. He's totally still on it and I expect to see him at McLaren.
Actually, Hamilton is the highest scoring driver in the 2nd half of the season.
I will agree with you though - Kimi has done well and has been very consistent.
wont be long until all the races are in some rich playboy area on dull tracks where most real fans cant afford to go.
when i was a little boy i remember watching formula one races where the tracks had awesome woodland scenary now they are all turning into to boring desert tracks or boring street circuits.
bring back places like hockenheim , canada etc.
i dont give a rats ass if they dont have billion pound luxury places for sponsors and vip's to hand out at.
or if the tracks look a little run down aslong as the scenary is good and the races arent dull to watch because every corner and every straight almost looks the same.
on a lot of newer tracks you cant even tell what corner it is from most angles.
tracks may aswell be made out of prefab straights and corners all completly flat
Prefered the old layout.
