Michael Schumacher is apparently concerned that the cockpit in his new Mercedes may be a little on the small size.

A Christmas treat from Lotus
For those of you missing something nice at Christmas, here is a picture of Lotus F1 boss, Tony Fernandes dressed up as a schoolgirl.
You normally have to pay good money to see this sort of Far East treat on the… Internet, so make the most of it.
The USF1 story - Christmas Special
It’s the USF1 Christmas Special…
Bernie Ecclestone discovers new art talent
Debra Murphy of Class 4, St Ethel’s Junior School, Swindon, is suddenly in demand from people wanting portraits that bear no resemblance to themselves, following her recent commission to do Bernie Ecclestone’s 2009 christmas card.
Debra, 14, was chosen from a… shortlist of four very bad artists to produce the card depicting Max Mosley, BMW’s Mario Theissen and Toyota’s John Howett sailing away in a yacht. She was going to include the Bridgestone boss but could not recall his name let alone what he looked like.
The boat-load sailing away from F1 are waved off by the remaining team bosses with Bernie watching from the lifeguard station, while for some reason Flavio Briatore prepares to launch a rocket attack from a nearby rowing boat.
For good measure there are sharks circling and F1 cars racing in the distance.
We don’t know what Debra is on but we’d certainly like some of it to get Christmas going…
The USF1 story – Epilogue
The true story of an F1 team that will be in F1 next year. Honestly.
Ken finally confronts Peter.
Toyota WERE the best at something in F1
Toyota may have spent years plodding around the midfield to little or no effect but at least its accounts department were the best in F1. According to a report by business analysts, Dun and Bradstreet, Toyota were the most reliable… team in F1 when it came to paying its bills on time, on average paying suppliers five days early.
The study, published in Auto Moto und Sport, says that other teams were not quite so quick to get the cheque book out, with McLaren taking around 26 days to cough up with Force India bottom of the grid on 66 days.
Well done Toyota – you showed ‘em.
Virgin and Lotus - Drag Racers
Last week, Lotus F1 owner, Tony Fernandes, announced that if his team did not beat Virgin Racing, he would kill himself. At the launch of his team today, Branson chickened out of offering to top himself if the Malaysians beat… him, instead suggesting that if Fernandes lost this little battle then he should get into a stewardesses uniform and serve drinks on Bransons Virgin airline and if he lost then he’d do the same on one of Tony’s Air Asia flights.
Mind you, any passenger seeing either of these two show-off’s coming towards them dressed as a trolley dolly, while crammed into an economy seat on a 9 hour flight, may well feel that the suicide option was probably the best one.
And yes, the picture really is of an Air Asia hostess, hard at work.
Stop that at the back!
At the launch of the Virgin Racing team, several schoolboys were ejected from the room after a bout of silly giggling when Richard Branson announced that “Virgin can go all the way.”
