Alonso Wins the 2010 World Drivers Championship!!!
Today early in the morning, just after 8am. Fernando Alonso arrived at the gates of the Scuderia Ferrari for his first contact with the new team, although still not as an official member due to his contractual commitments regarding image management, which still tie him to his previous team and his sponsors.
The first meeting was with Stefano Domenicali, who then left him to the technicians, who started to work with the driver on the upcoming season’s programme. Between meetings connected to the new single-seater’s project Fernando visited the wind channel to see the model and worked on the sitting position in the car’s cockpit, while the day ended just after 5pm. Before leaving Maranello, Alonso was received by Chairman Luca di Montezemolo, who personally wanted to welcome the Spaniard at Ferrari in a cordially meeting of around half an hour.
Today’s intermezzo was a couple of laps on the Fiorano race track with the 458 Italia, naturally in red: as he couldn’t yet drive a red Formula 1 car Fernando wanted to feel the emotion of driving a Ferrari on the track where all the Prancing Horse’s single-seaters are born and raised.

Re: The Official Formula 1 2009 Season Thread
Now that we've gone through an entire season with the new cars, has it grown on you? Or do you guys still prefer the pre-2009 look (what with all the aero appendages)?
I've definitely grown fond of the '09 cars. Overall, I like Brawn's shape the best, with Ferrari and Williams a close second.

I just saw this on my way back home now. Shawn, this is for you. (It is not offtopic because Senna helped design it, and Mclaren was linked to Honda at the time 
)
RENAULT POWAH!!!! The NSX couldn't catch the Alonso inspired, Renault powered machine.
Damn Honda ricers, always pulling flybys.

Re: The Official Formula 1 2009 Season Thread
I sooo wish Kimi would sign as well as I have always followed him since his debut.
But as it stands, if he doesn't sign, he will actually make MORE than if he signed with McLaren (as they have lowered thier offer to compensate for the buyout from Ferrari).
