Now all Hamilton needs to do is change his name to Batman. Surely Hamilton should be the Boy Wonder Robin. Ron Dennis must be Batman.

The WMSC have also confirmed engine life will be extended from two to three races for 2009, so ensuring teams make considerable cost savings. Looks like this rule's been binned (thankfully) before it's even been implemented. From planetF1: The FIA has quietly dropped a requirement that Formula One engines should last for three successive races this coming season. Motorsport's governing body kept the rule in place last month when it announced that, as part of efforts to cut costs, each driver could use no more than eight engines in 2009. However, Article 28.4 of the 2009 sporting regulations, posted on the FIA's website this week, makes no mention of engines having to be used in sequence. "Each driver may use no more than eight engines during a Championship season," the amended regulations declare. "Should a driver use more than eight engines, he will drop 10 places on the starting grid at any event during which an additional engine is used." An FIA spokesman confirmed the new rule would allow drivers to use their eight engines in whatever sequence they wished.

That sounds like a rule ripe for Ferrari to find a way around, with the aid of the FIA of course.

With 17 races on the calendar it does mean drivers will have to make their engines last for three races in at least one case.

They're actually more hideous than the Ferrari - no contest in the looks department; the McLaren is miles ahead.
