Spain got two GPs when Alonso became World Champion, the same as Germany had two when Schumacher (remember him?) was World Champion.

And the little turd Alonso was last World Champion in 2006. So how does that earn Spain two GPs in 2009. Could the actual reason be that Spain have been throwing money in the direction of a certain Mr. Ecclestone?

Schumi, call me cynical if you like, but I still think it's more likely to being down to the Spaniards offering Bernie huge wads of cash!!

Somewhat surprisingly, McLaren have extended Kovalainen's contract by one year.

Williams have confirmed they are to retain Rosberg and Nakajima for next season.
And odd news from PlanetF1:
Red Bull have blamed an eletrical surge from a tram for putting an end to Mark Webber's Singapore GP.
Webber, who had been on course for a strong points finish if not a top-three result, retired from last Sunday's inaugural night race when his gearbox failed on lap 30.
And according to team boss Christian Horner, it was an electrical charge from nearby tram that caused the problem.
"At Turn 13 the gearbox selected two gears at one," Horner told Autosport. "The moog valve controlling the gearshift had been triggered into changing to seventh while he was still in fifth.
"Yet after interrogating the software we can see that it at no time was allowing for this. We can see a momentary electrical surge at the precise moment, which seems to have triggered the moog valve.
"It was exactly what (Toro Rosso) suffered from with (Sebastien) Bourdais in Friday practice, at exactly the same place.
"A tram line runs beneath the track at that corner and it seems as if static from a passing tram at the very moment Mark was in the corner passed through the ground."

Mind you, as long as it's making Bernie money...

Love the comment about the clowns though Brilliant ;D I now have a mental image of Kimi & Felipe turning up for the next race with big red noses and huge shoes ;D Think the comments about the Ferrari 'automated' system are spot on 'tho as it is clearly prone to giving the driver clearance too early
