Well, there are already fans of vintage horror movies, fans of Marilyn Manson, fan clubs of old Dracula films. I cannot understand how anyone could start a Todt “Newman” Fan Club.

I wish they could license their flywheel technology to some large car manufacturers or train - subway companies and make a lot of money ! cheers All the best for Williams, they are the heart and soul of F1.

Maybe they will have him moved to Toro Rosso - they have a Ferrari engine. He can also race rallies at the same time with the FIAT team." “Ferrari are reported to be planning to partner Alonso with Massa and are said to be in negotiations with Raikkonen’s management to pay off a proportion of the Finn’s 2010 contract before moving him on to another team.

I wonder how much Williams decision to try to end their Toyota engine deal is influenced by how good the engine is compared to the others available and how much on Williams having to have Nakajima as a driver as a condition of using the engines. Although I having had time to read it yet my copy of F1 Racing Magazine arrived yesterday and it mentioned that Williams reserve driver Nico Hulkenberg had taken a part time job at the Williams factory working in different departments. I don’t know if any other driver has done anything like this in modern F1, but Hulkenberg has defiantly gone up in my books after this.
