Do'in the rain rain rain dance.
Actually, dry start and then some rain to throw chaos into the field.
Can't wait for Schumi's call for rain tires in the dry again.
And vill they listen this time.

Found this on TotalF1.

Willis parts company with Red Bull
Indexed: Thu Jul 09, 2009 @ 06:15:09PM 20 hours 50 minutes ago
Red Bull technical director Geoff Willis has left his post just as the team's title challenge hots up.
Is he jumping ship to McLaren? <rumor mode off>

Yea, shake up and musical chairs at Red Bull and Willis might have been caught out without a chair when the music stopped. No one really knows the whole story, but if it wasn't Willis leaving, I don't know why teams do this when they're on such a role and could be on the verse of something great.

I don't want A. Wayne to up chuck his breakfast, but during the Michael Schumacher at Ferrari years, team stability and continuity was a major reason they had a dominant dynasty. That and the most complete driver that ever put on a racing helmet.

Now is Pete talking about the driver that was fired at Ferrari a few yeas back , you know the one that was afraid to share no 1 status with Raikkonen , you know the only driver in F1 history to have all of his championship points taken away from him , you know the one that parked his car at Monaco , to get a drink , during qualifying............. Yeah Most complete alright Complete **** hat


Anyway Bumpy , where are the results from this morning ?

A team spokeswoman said that Willis had left the team as "his job had become redundant".

Since when does a technical director in F1 become redundant?
Surprised, to say the least.

I think Red Bull is going to be the team to beat in Germany.

I'd pick Vettel for the win.
