I guess he was guilty after all. Not surprising that someone stole the records, I'm a little surprised no one bought them.

JEV is out next year at STR; Jos Verstappen's son will take his seat.

Kid is 17 now.

 

Actually he's 16 right now. He'll be 17 when he debuts in F1 next year, and won't turn 18 until September 30, 2015.

I'm actually kinda surprised that the FIA apparently doesn't have a minimum age of 18 for Formula One drivers, like many other high-level series have.

 

Does seem a bit young to me...

The good side is that Massa will absolutely hate it!

 

Why... would Massa care?

 

It think he has relayed his displeasure towards the trend to younger drivers on more than one occasion...

 

Max Chilton's out this weekend; American Alexander Rossi is driving in his stead.

 

AN AMERICAN!?

EDIT: A ROSS?! (sort of)

 

'MERICA!

 

There was a time, many years ago, when MURICANS raced in F1 and not in silly circles.

I do hope Rossi can be a winner in the sport.

 

You think Marussia is going to win? That's very American of you.

 

lol, no, though they did manage a surprise points finish witht he excellent Bianchi.

But I think Rossi has some raw talent and could flourish at a team like Lotus, if they ever sort their finance issues out and don't need Paydriver Malretardo crashing their car every race. And, given the right opportunity, I think Rossi could be a podium contender.

 

You seem to have missed that we are going to have a three time Le Mans winner in Kobayashi's seat, this weekend, too.

An Andre Lotterer, to give feedback on the Caterham.

 

Latest news indicates that Rossi is out again and Chilton is indeed racing this weekend.

Tune in 3 hours from now when we will report that Chilton is out and Ender Sai takes his seat.

 

Wet weekend in Spa! Some things never change, LOL!

 

Ugh. Rosberg.

 

****ing cheat.

 

DANNY EFFING RICCIARDO

 

Looks like Rosberg's about as popular with the Belgian fans as a bowl of cold sick!

Great drive from Ricciardo.

 

Williams aren't that far away from having a race winning car. They look like a team that's on the way up, IMO, so let's wait and see what they come up with in 2015.

Meanwhile, Toto and Niki sound thoroughly fed up with Rosberg...

 

So apparently Rosberg has admitted to Hamilton and Mercedes that he deliberately caused the accident:

"Lewis Hamilton claims Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg admitted in a post-race meeting that he deliberately hit him during Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.

Hamilton's race was effectively ended when he suffered a puncture on lap two at Spa after Rosberg collided with him.

The German went on to finish second, extending his lead in the championship to 29 points with seven races left.

"We just had a meeting about it and he basically said he did it on purpose," said Hamilton.
The 2008 world champion added: "He said he could have avoided it, but he didn't want to. He basically said, 'I did it to prove a point'."

Hamilton said he was "gobsmacked" by Rosberg's admission, although the German has not confirmed himself whether he made such a remark.

So assuming Rosberg has said he caused this accident on purpose, what should happen next?

I would have thought at the very least he should be stripped of his second position by the FIA? I would also think a heavy fine should be coming his way from Mercedes for costing the team a huge wedge of constructors points today?
