Goodwood Road and Racing (Festival of Speed Live Stream)
Felipe Massa: ‘It’s just an amazing feeling to drive the 2008 car after a long time. It was just amazing to be part of the Ferrari team for so long and this was definitely my best year. A car that we managed to win five times. It was the last constructors’ championship for Ferrari, also mine I would say.’
No playoffs, but IndyCar open to all-star race concept (Racer)
‘We pay attention to what others are doing. The one thing I know is that we don’t have any interest in doing a playoffs-type situation like NASCAR has. That’s not something that’s on our bingo card.’
From foe to friend: Chris Dyer’s journey to McLaren (McLaren)
Chris Dyer: ‘I’d had a couple of years of race engineering experience and was prepared to step down again into a performance engineering role, so I think that was quite attractive to them, to have somebody that they felt had already a good idea of the bigger picture, and wasn’t really going to be intimidated by stepping straight in and working with Michael (Schumacher).’

‘He also referred to a revised Balance of Performance table, which could impact Toyota’s race. ‘We also expect in terms of race-ability it will be very difficult because we have low power, high weight,’ said Floury. ‘Exiting the slow speed corner, we will have a lot of difficulties to keep up with most of the other cars. But the Ferrari is more or less on the same working point.”
Ecclestone: My friend Christian Horner’s big mistake was thinking he’s still 20 years old (The Telegraph)
”This other business that he got involved with 18 months ago, he was just an idiot,’ Ecclestone says, with some feeling, of the excruciating episode. ‘He was a 50-year-old who thought he was 20, thought he was one of the boys.”
