This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.
yup, pretty much...
Perez moving to McLaren is a little surprising to me, but great news for him. We’ll see how he runs with a top-class car and team behind him.
to me too, but he's done a good job of improving his position during the race almost all year 2012 World Championship

"I have had three nice years with the team which unfortunately did not go as well as we all would have wanted on the sporting side. I wish Lewis well and for the team to achieve the success we worked so hard for in the build-up. I would like to thank the team for their trust and all the guys for their unconditional commitment. I will now concentrate on the next races.“ ~ MS
well I'll never buy one
I think Hamilton will be as disappointed with the cars as Michael clearly was ... Look for Ross to be gone soon or at least hit the ROAD - retired on active duty
.
Maybe they just want Nicole Scherzinger hanging out in their pit stall....
i've seen no statement from him but read in one of the articles that he is being replaced by Lew... so it looks like auf wiedersehen to Michael
thx for the update
who wouldn't??? 8^)
She is his McLaren girl friend, can’t wait for the Mercedes girl friend!
I haven’t read anything about his future plans, just that Hamilton is going to MB and Perez to McLaren, and Schumi is going to consider his future.

turn it up and enjoy
Fast car, great driving.
i don't know if that was a restart or if he started from the back of the pack, but one hell of a charge to the front
Wow, what a drive. A car with a real shifter, no paddles, no sequential, no traction control, just a damn good driver with a damn good car. A flat six “porch” stills sounds great just like it did in the 60’s. Porsche has truly kept the spirit of that car throughout the technical revolutions.
yes they have... the man sure knows how to cut through traffic
He is going by some of those cars like they are standing still. I know he is a very good driver, but surely he must have been in a pole-sitting car that got a penalty and put at the back of the pack for that kind of slicing and dicing.
Surprised it has a regular H-pattern shifter, I thought all those ALMS/Rolex cars had sequential shifters. Cool to see though.
i thought a lot was due to different classes running together but i could be wrong...
