Bernie doing his bit for Caterham Reno supplying their engines 'for the good of the sport' too.

Marussia look to be turning up, the engines and ferrari engineers are already there and the cars and equipment are reportedly already in transit which makes things really interesting at the back.

There is $50mil dollars difference in prize money for 9th in the championship so whoever wins it could stay for next season. It could be make or break for anyone investing in either company, there were rumers Caterham would be promoted to 9th even though they have no points because Marussia went into administration. Ferrari might be funding the Marrusia effort for this weekend to get their hands on the money to recoup some of the money they are owed for supplying the engines.

In further speculation, lots of cryptic tweets from Ferrari today are being interpreted that they have actually bought Marussia outright to form a Toro Rosso type team

Its not like Bernie to help someone.

 

[lackingBHP]

He is helping as some oul rich Saudi is buying the team and he will get a cut.

Jules Bianchi has been moved from the hospital in Japan to a hospital in Nice.

He is no longer in a coma but remains unconscious.

Jules is now breathing unaided but his condition is still described as 'critical'.

I have thought about Jules many, many times since the crash and the press release from his parents today paints a cautiously optimistic picture. I really hope he pulls through.

Whos everyones money on?

Barring mechanical issues, Lewis for the championship, anything else would be a travesty

Cannot see him not going for the win, but second will do. Just hope he will not do anything stupid, was a really close call in the last race

 

[Deckz]

I hope Rosbery takes the win and the title.
I will laugh so hard and so loud if Hamilton ****s up!

 

[Dave..]

Lewis for the title

 

[Shaun]

Anyone other than Hamilton will be very unfair, he has won twice as many races as Rosberg. If it wasnt for bad luck with the car it would have been over long ago.

 

[da.murf]

My dad has been saying all season it will come down to the last race and Lewis will have a car issue.

German team
German engines
German management
German world champ.....

He believes in conspiracies lol

 

[pablo]

if Rosberg wins Im done with F1. He plain doesnt deserve it.

 

[davecoupe]

No marussia now

 

[svensktoppen]

What a surprise

 

[lackingBHP]

Feel for them, they have done a good job on the budget they have. More points than Sauber this year!

 

[Nickyyy]

You'd of thought their prize money would have saved them. If they keep it after abi Dubai

 

[DC.]

Ferrari have confirmed the departure of Alonso & the arrival of Vettel.

God help them.

 

[C4L]

I see another one of the wee fellas I raced with has just bought an F1 seat.... Will Stevens announced for the last round with Caterham. They announced it 10 minutes before the FIA deadline it must have been like ebay to get the seat lol

 

[lackingBHP]

Yes poor Ferrari swapping an awkward wee C.Hunt for a 4 times world champion with a strong work ethic........what were they thinking!

 

[C4L]

... apart from the fact Alonso is the best driver on the grid ...

 

[DC.]

If Vettel fails to beat Kimi next year (fair chance of it happening) then he is finished.

Ferrari would be even worse off if they didn't have Alonso dragging them along the past 5 years.

 

[Shaun]

I'm glad Alonso is away from Ferrari now as he deserves so much better. They have fallen way behind in recent years.

Next year will be very interesting.

Still no decision on Button and Magnussen, hard to know who to get rid of there if not both!!

 

[svensktoppen]

McL is easy, they will keep Magnussen and Button will go to sports cars. Already done, just a matter of choreographing the press releases.

Magnussen + Alonso will be a good pairing I think.

So Kimi is staying at Ferrari? I thought they were swapping him out for some new blood alongside Vettel?

 

[stevyg]

I'm not sure what Ferrari are at.

Vettel & Kimi have both shown that they can't make a sub-par car work to their advantage - not what Ferrari need at the moment.

 

[svensktoppen]

In fairness, Kimi did a sterling job with the Renault... But he has genuinely been rubbish in the Ferrari
