What surprises me is the way Red Bull have just about expunged his name from their junior driver programme website, almost like he never existed.

For example the Monaco results - Hartley's name...

If Hartley is not F1 material then why do Red Bull persist with him? He brings no money and comes from a country so small that the market for their product probably wouldn't even cover Red Bull's...

There have been times over the past year when I have wondered if Hartley would stay in the programme this year. Last year was a nightmare. He was thrown into the World Series by Renault with no...

I presume Will, Alex and James Davison are all brothers? A talented family. Keeping them all in racing overalls must have cost their parents a packet over the years.

Jamies Whincup has been...

No surprise seeing McLaren and Red Bull well up the table. They were the fastest cars by the end of the season.

Hulkenberg today and Soucek yesterday also showed plenty of pace - something...

I wouldn't throw Hartley under the bus quite yet. They were running the car with ballast to simulate the heavy fuel loads they will have to run with next year. That means he never actually got to...

There have been others, such as Denny Hulme, the 1967 World Champion, and Chris Amon who had more than 100 starts. Scored five poles (I think) but never had a win, although he is often referred to as...

To say it wasn't racing is a little bit tough I think. I'm not great fan of Motegi either - there have been some real snoozers there - but it is the sort of track where you have to work on someone to...

It's a bit early for comparisons IMHO. Not even Schumi was another Schumi by a comparative stage of his career.

Regarding the Viso incident. I think there was a lot going on at that moment because they had all suddenly bunched up. For those few moments I think Dixon was more occupied with what was going on...

I'll poked my nose in and post for the first time in a while just to say what a great job Danica did. I'm no great fan of hers but she drove a good race, showed some pace and certainly didn't back up...

For those of you watching the BBC I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the new computer graphics package they are using this year. It may go under the name Virtual Spectator. It's been put...

You may find a link here nearer the time. No guarantees though.

It's not official yet but going by this article it sounds like a formality. I've got to admit I'm surprised because he appears to have leapfrogged Red Bull's GPR and Renault World Series drivers.
...

A sad read. I guess that explains what seemed like a premature retirement. V8 Supercars is all the poorer without him. I wish him well and hope he can pick up the pieces.

One of the TV networks here suggested he was EuroF3 bound but I haven't seen anything confirmed. Having said that - this particular network has been pretty accurate with their tips in the past.

Young Kiwi Brendon Hartley will fill in for Mark Webber at Jerez on 15 December.

Quite an honour and a great opportunity seeing as he has only just turned 19.

Enjoy your country's special day guys. Have a bit of white meat, a bit of dark meat and a mouthful of stuffing for me ... and don't forget the pumpkin pie!!

Summerton was always my second favourite A1 driver - behind whoever was driving for New Zealand.

Definitely the 'real deal' and would be a great addition to Indy Lights and eventually Indy Cars.
...

I hear Matt Halliday is looking for a ride in the US. He actually lives there now but comes back down under to drive in the Aussie V8 Supercar endurance events where teams need a second driver.
...

Definitely a great run by PT. I hope he gets a full-time ride.

Agreed. After a while I decided to save bandwidth and just follow the live timing while listening to IMS radio. I really enjoy Mike King's commentaries.

The line I like came from a cricket commentator who said:

"Statistics are a lot like a bikini - what they hide is a whole lot more interesting than what they show."

Seems very apt in this case....

I think the ex-CC guys will make be the wild cards because they will be more of a factor in the road/street courses. That means they could be taking valuable points off Dixon and/or the guys who are...
