6-Jan-2009
Robert Kubica has joined the growing ranks of formula one drivers who are also involved with teams in the lower categories of the sport. The BMW-Sauber racer is reported to have founded a karting team, in collaboration with the kart manufacturer Birel, with which he was successful during his own days in the junior class. "I wished to do something active in the world of kart racing, the discipline which allowed me to stand out and take the path leading to F1, and which I still love," Kubica, 24 and from Poland, told his F1 team's website. After his F1 testing duties in December, Kubica tested the new chassis. It is said he intends to take a hands-on management role with his team, which is set to participate in major international events starting this year. Fernando Alonso and Jarno Trulli are also involved with their own kart outfits, while Kimi Raikkonen and Giancarlo Fisichella have teams in F3 and GP2 respectively. |

Are you suggesting that venues will not be able to afford to host them or that the teams may object to so many?
If the former then surely the relevant government would help out financially as its good for tourism and if the latter then this could entitle sponsors to claim a partial refund? I can't imagine Bernie suggesting it anyhow! |

3 potential buyers for the crappy Honda Team. David Richards, owner of Prodrive. Achilleas Kallakis, a Greek shipping tycoon, is interested. Carlos Slim Helú, the second richest man* in the world. |

Not unless the UK government also 'bail' out TCS. |

Still Tata though, so as they own Jaguar/Land Rover, and it is rumoured that the UK government is going to bale them out to the tune of billons of £'s, and we pay the UK government taxes, does that mean that WE end up sponsoring Ferrari? |

Read elsewhere it was Tata's IT consultancy, not their automotive arm.

It seems to me to be the rantings of someone a wee bit bitter and twisted. Was he missed out when the freebies for the GB GP were handed out? Has he just discovered he and his ‘partner’ haven’t been invited to the Max & Bernie Christmas bun fight? It really is difficult to find any paper to read when the quality of reporting has become so shockingly poor, for the most part irresponsible and being virtually answerable to no one.
