The starting grid is Vettel in first followed by Webber for RBR and the Button and Hamilton for Mclaren...should be a good race...if Vettel gets a podium finish the drivers championship is his and it is well deserved....as for the constructors championship RBR pretty much has it locked up......RBR has come a long way from when the team was Minardi racing...the team lost all of it's sponsors and was royally screwed until Red Bull came along and bought the team and threw a shitload of money into it.....and got some of the best advertising that money can buy along the way.

Nascar...BORING....Formula 1 has curves/speed and grid gals :cool:


Brazil Grand Prix in the morning and the Grey Cup game in the afternoon....allmost as good as Masters Sunday.....allmost.

Vettel already won the driver's championship, and Red Bull the constructors in Japan, some weeks ago. This is just for the $$ pretty much and for some drivers to find a ride for next season. F1 is way better than most racing series other than Pro-Am and the Rolex series, and LMP1, GT1, 2....Prototypes...love it.

Reminds me of FC Chelsea. Good investment by Red Bull though. :nod:

Formula 1 decides to delay its $ 3 Billion IPO in Singapore due to weak markets. Very smart decision on Formula One's part. We don't wanna see another Facebook. :nod:

Bernie Ecclestone who owns Formula 1 may be a world class prick but he is not stupid.Thanks for the info though BD as I had no idea that Formula 1 was doing an IPO....will see if I can get some stock when it does start trading.

He doesn't own Formula 1, the majority shareholder is a company called Delta Topco. Ecclestone owns about 30%, mostly controlled through a family trust fund.

I guess Bernie's two tall daughters need raises in their bling allowance.
Their real estate allowances seems to be increasing as well with daughter Petra's acquisition of the late Aaron Spelling's LA Mansion last year for US$ 85 Million. A great example of how shrewd Bernie negotiates, the original list price was US$ 150 Million. :nod:
