I am used to put cushion on the car seat for the purpose of giving some massage therapist on my back, can we use it in F1 car?

Don't know about that. I have already read one report , link somewhere here, that Ron Dennis has told Alonso he can leave at the end of this year. The whole point is whether the two, Lewis and fernando, can survive another year in the same team. Lewis is not short of being capable to manipulate the media too, and so is his dad. All this does not bode well for a team so dysfunctional. I think the next couple of races will shed a helluva lot more light.

I just read with interest on planetF1 that the bosses at maranello have instructed the team to prep an offer worth at least 17million pounds for Hamilton.......

My tip:

Hamilton stays, Alonso back to Renault (Fisi makes way for the return) and Nico Rosberg to the 2nd McLaren seat.

Italian newspaper Tuttosport they said £ 20 millions almost US$ 40 millions :D

However, the British source is The Mirror :rolleyes:
I don't know which Italian Newspaper is reporting this, but 20 million quid sounds like a helluva big offer.
I'll believe it when it's reported in The Bild. :p :

Let's wait and see - we might find something tomorrow.

who would want to go to mclaren whilest they clearly favour hamilton - you need to either be a diplomat or a pushover

I would like to see what evidence anyone has that McClaren favor LH. Just becuase Alonso says so is very very far from fact ( or the truth) If equal treatment on 2007 is perceived as favoritism then we trully live in a warped world.

I think the reason McLaren got into such a mucking fuddle in Hungary was because they are not favouring one driver over the other. Trying to manage intensely competitive individuals who are trying to win for themselves, while racing for a team as well, is never easy. F1 drivers are not the kind of people who accept losing, and losing to a team-mate 'can't be because he's a better driver. It must be because he's being favoured by the team.'

true - but who will be second fiddle to allow mclaren to pick a favored driver
