Other lately news, interesting story from last week and Japanese Grand Prix predictions

In the recent news lately from last blog I've wrote from Sunday night. Sauber have announce recently current GP2 runner up Sergio Perez will be driving for Sauber next season, becoming the first Mexican driving in Formula one for over 30 years, since Hector Rebaque driving a Brabham. He will also bringing in sponsorship from Mexican telecommunication's giant Telmex, which will see their logos on the Sauber car next season. He will teaming up with Kamui Kobayashi. This possibly be the least experience Sauber driver line up team, since 2001 when the drivers was Nick Hiedfied (only done 17 grand prixs) and Kimi Raikkonen (only 21 years old, no grand prixs and a rookie). As for the decision for hiring Sergio Perez, who hasn't any F1 experience yet. I think this could be a interesting signing to watch him at Bahrain next season. Where he will get some testing in the car to get in the groove of F1. Shame there is no in season testing anymore for the rookies, oh well at least there is a rookie test session at Abu Dhabi later at the end of the season.

Also Lotus Racing will be using Red Bull's gearboxes and hydraulic system from 2011, with Renault engines and kers system (worst kept secret, will be announce in a few weeks time). That will cut a few seconds on their laps next season.

Last week I was in the Ferrari shop at Regent Street in London. Where in the centre of the shop, there was a show car of a Ferrari Formula 1 car, which look like a 2005 car (Ferrari f2005) or 2006 car (Ferrari 248) on show. Interesting if you want to take a photo of the Ferrari will cost you £25. Some people try to take the photo on their phones or cameras but the bouncer says no photos. What a rip off Ferrari are doing this. So I try to take a photo of the Ferrari outside the shop, which was a terrible photo below, that only cost me 39p from a Boots store to print, so that's possibly the cheapest Ferrari ever, since the 1991 Minardi car that had a Ferrari engine. But, I did see a cheap Ferrari 458 Italia yesterday, but it was only a Hotwheels car for £1 in Asda though (should have bought it).



So predictions for Japanese Grand Prix this weekend. Alonso win, Vettel second and Webber third. Don't forget the McLarens, Robert Kubica in the Renault, Nico Rosberg in the Mercedes or Rubens Barrichello in the Williams Cosworth. That is all, bye.
