Most interestingly, he says there could be a change of management at McLaren before the end of the month, which ties in with what someone else here said about Ron Dennis failing to procure sponsorship.
There is a rumor floating at the moment that Ron Dennis is in trouble with the biggest investor of Mclaren(Bahrain Ruling Family) because of not getting a title sponsor.The meeting will happen this month.Bahrain likes what the Austrians did with Mercedes this year and think Berger be a good leader.

Hot flash, Vettel leaving Red Bull at end of this season. He will be replaced at Red Bull by Kyvat. Now the musical chairs goes into fast forward.

In all honesty, JEV should have gotten the RB seat. Kvyat is too young and inexperienced to fill shoes Vettel has left.

JEV would have been my choice.

Massive changes to the status quo for next year, and I thought Hamilton leaving McLaren was big, three world champions moving seats, Vettel, Alonso and maybe Button. I really thought Vettel was going to stay out of this one, and he's taken the plunge first, expect the dominos to fall into place now.

Also any idea who will get the free Torro Rosso seat??

I.... I... WTF!!!! I know nuthin'.

Why?

I should have stayed in bed, but how am I going to fall asleep again after this?
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.
