• Luca di Montezemolo is right: F1’s safety car rules are humiliating for the sport - F1 Fanatic
  "Montezemolo may be sore about Ferrari’s first point-less Grand Prix in 47 races, but I share his frustration with how the current safety car rules can spoil drivers’ races. "
• Senna says race seat possible for 2009 - autosport.com
  "We have been speaking with quite a few teams and there is great interest from a few of them.

  "So there are a few opportunities as a race driver, a few as a test driver…but there is a lot of competition and I need to come ahead of the competition right now on the negotiations and see if I can get a race drive."

• Adrian Campos has a plan - Grandprix.com

• di Grassi eyeing Renault test seat - pitpass

• Why it took that long to impose the penalties that even the drivers themselves expected? - F1 Wolf
  "…after watching the Singapore GP it looks like there may be also another outcome. Pit early, come out in front of the field, hope the stewards will take their time to confirm the obvious then once the penalty is announced stay out as long as legally possible. If all goes well by the time you do have to serve the 10 second penalty you may have well over 20 second lead and a chance to fight for a podium."
• Luca Against the World - Formula 1 Insight
  "Apparently, it is "humiliating" for the sport to rely on Safety Car periods to spice up races. Strange that Luca should never have mentioned this before, considering that the SC has been around for years and its appearance always has an effect on race results. I recall many races won by Michael Schumacher thanks to SC periods and yet no muttering from the Ferrari camp about humiliation at the time."
