Webber needs to stay off of his bicycle. Just sayin’.
The 2010 F1 season was awesome. The best part of it for me was seeing Mark Webber leading the Drivers’ Standings and looking like a shoe-in to become Red Bull Racing’s first World Drivers’ Champion. Well, after the Asian rounds started, good old Webber started to slump, his worst moments being crashing in Korea and getting his ass handed to him in Abu Dhabi. Turns out he had a shoulder injury right around that time from yet another bicycle crash. A man’s gotta have various interests, but come on now! Our friends at ITV have the full(er) story here.

Announcing the worst-kept secret in F1: US F1 is Audi 5
Well, despite constant denials, US F1 announced today that it was calling it quits to their 2010 bid to compete in the FIA Formula One World Championship. Sad to see this happening, but one upside is that good old Jacques Villeneuve may be making a comeback with Stefan GP if the FIA grants them the now-vacant grid slot. Full article here.

Reunited, and it feels so good …
Michael Schumacher has signed a one-year deal to return to Formula One competition in 2010 with the new Mercedes GP squad, formerly known as Brawn GP. This means that Schumacher will be reunited with Ross Brawn, the man who is largely responsible for all seven of his F1 titles. And did I mention that Brawn GP won the F1 Drivers’ and Constructor’s World Championship this past season? Oh yes, this is going to be good. Full story.

Kimi is a WRC driver for 2010
Well, the worst-kept secret in racing has come to light, and for me, it’s a real downer. The Kimster is taking a sabbatical from Formula One next season and will contest the 2010 WRC with Citroen Racing. And while he won’t be pounding the pavement in a single seater, his switch to the Red Bull-backed rally team will help fuel the rumor that he will return to F1 in 2011 with the Red Bull Racing F1 squad. Read the full article here.
