quote:

Bernie Ecclestone reportedly paid the wages of embattled Lotus' 400 staff in August. The news, revealed by Britain's Times newspaper, comes after the Enstone team's equipment - including the black and gold cars - were prevented from leaving Spa-Francorchamps by court bailiffs after the recent Belgian grand prix.

OK so he paid their wages, but did the cars get loose? Are Lotus going to be at Monza?

quote:

Correspondent Kevin Eason says the risk Lotus may not be able to race at Monza this weekend remains. "Everything is under control," said a team spokesman, as it emerged that Lotus staff are in fact making their way to the scene of the Italian grand prix near Milan.

I also hope the Renault/Lotus deal turns out to be like the Quantum deal.

Interesting article from the Verge talking about who is doing what about making open cockpits safer. Basically the FIA and the NHRA (kinda) are the only ones doing anything about it and it's gonna take a while for anything to happen. Also talks about why the jet fighter canopy cockpit probably isn't happening for F1.

Bernie Ecclestone is no longer so sure about Lewis Hamilton’s extravagant lifestyle.

Earlier, the F1 supremo hailed the Mercedes driver as the ideal world champion as he is constantly in the spotlight.

But a few days ago, Ecclestone said he thinks Hamilton might now be going "over the top".

"Maybe he’s gone too far in recent months," the 84-year-old now tells Germany’s Bild am Sonntag newspaper.

They've added it to the list so I guess it counted. I can't remember the rules on DNFs right at the end but I think if you're classified you count as having finished the race? You just obviously aren't going to get any points from it and it might not count towards the Championship if it goes to counting back positions to sort out a tie.

I think they still count you if you run at least 75% of the race.
