At least it will be a bit more memorable than their 2009 effort…



With WRC ace Sebastien Loeb preparing for his F1 debut at Abu Dhabi, race organisers have already started to lay down the law…



On hearing the news that Toro Rosso reject, Sebastien Bourdais, is to drive in the Superleague Formula for Spanish football club FC Sevilla, Luca Badoer is reported to be keen on a seat for himself should things continue to go… tits up at Ferrari.
Superleague, for those unlucky not to have seen it, is where football clubs, including giants such as Liverpool, AC Milan and Rangers, stop kicking lumps out of each other on the pitch and do it on the track instead.
According to a plainly deluded Bourdais, “Superleague is the best alternative to F1, it’s the only other championship in Europe to offer a driver the possibility of racing single seaters at a high, professional level”
So, we’ll ignore GP2 for starters then.
Badoer has allegedly been sounded out by Scunthorpe United and Swansea City though Bristol Rovers are thought to be the Italian drivers first choice.


Valencia. While Romain Grosjean is about to debut the worst hairstyle in F1 since Minardi mop top, Fabrizio Barbazza, gave us the wild man look in 1993, spare a thought for Toro Rosso star Sebastien Buemi, who due to a… misunderstanding with his barber is now incapable of a hairdo of any sort.
Buemi visited a barbershop near the team factory in Faenza on Tuesday for a quick tidy up, but translation problems with the snipper resulted in a scalping that means that he’ll have to keep his noddle covered all weekend or face breaking out the factor 60.
Could be just the one weekend he does not want to get on the podium…


While Neslon Piquet jnr continues to vent his anger about his Renault sacking to anybody who will listen, his dole queue companion, Sebastien Bourdais is also continuing to have a moan about his previous employer.
Seb’s main grumble (this week) was… that Toro Rosso sacked him by a text message to his personal mobile ‘phone, which he reckons ‘lacked style’
Too right – any self respecting F1 team would have done it by Blackberry instead..
