Quick review on the race from last Sundays race (28/10/12) at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Philip Island and thoughts on Jorge Lorenzo on winning the 2012 MotoGP drivers world championship.
The race itself was a good race overall and a great win for Casey Stoner on his final home race on his Repsol Honda. While, Jorge Lorenzo on his works Yamaha finished second, nine seconds behind Stoner. While, Cal Crutchlow finished in third place on his Tech 3 Yamaha, forteen seconds behind Stoner at the end.
Meanwhile, championship contender Dani Pedrosa on his Repsol Honda had a very bad Sunday, qualified on the front row on Saturday. But on the second lap, Pedrosa crashed out while leading the race on cold tyres. Which, gives Jorge Lorenzo his second MotoGP world championship with a race to spare in the championship.
Contractions to Jorge Lorenzo winning his second MotoGP title. Jorge Lorenzo was a well earned title. But, what if Dani Pedrosa didn't crashed out in Misano and Philip Island and what if Casey Stoner didn't got injured at Indianapolis at early in the season I think the title would have gone to the wire at Valencia. But, nonetheless Jorge Lorenzo deceived the title for his winning his races and constancy this season. So contractions to Jorge Lorenzo.

Confirmed: Toro Rosso retains Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne for 2013
Early in the day, Nico Hulkenberg is going to Sauber for 2013 season. This afternoon Scuderia Toro Rosso confirmed that they will retain Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo for the 2013 Formula 1 season.
Despite, they have a poor car early on the season and both drivers are in their debut season. This is a good decision from Scuderia Toro Rosso to keep Jean-Eric Vergne and Daniel Ricciardo for another season at least in my opinion.

Confirmed: Nico Hulkenberg going to Sauber for 2013 season
This morning it has been confirmed that Sauber has signed Nico Hulkenberg for the team for the 2013 Formula 1 season. But, no news yet who will be his team-mate. Rumours it will be either current Sauber driver Kamui Kobayashi or Sauber test-driver Esteban Gutiérrez, depends on who brings in the most sponsorship.
My opinion on Nico Hulkenberg going to Sauber next season, possibly a good decision from both sides, Sauber getting a talent like Hulkenberg, Hulkenberg moving to Sauber with the finical questions at Force India.
As for the second seat at Sauber, I would pick Kamui Kobayashi once again and Esteban Gutiérrez as a test-driver in Friday practice one in Grand Prix weekends, the same as Jules Bianchi at Force India and Valtteri Bottas at Williams done this season in my opinion.

SLS AMG GT3 "45th Anniversary" edition
Basically, think of the SLS AMG GT3 "45th Anniversary" slimmer as a Ferrari 599XX as it is designed for track use only and is not street legal.
The SLS AMG GT3 "45th Anniversary" is a car that is build by AMG themselves celebrating 45 years of AMG. The car is an evolution from the SLS AMG GT3 race car, a ,ore powerful car than the GT3 race car producing 563 bhp from its AMG 6.2 litre V8 engine. Also, a lighter car as-well, that can go to 0-62 mph in under 3.5 seconds. Only costs £360,000 and only five will be ever made. Youtube video below of the car at the Ascari track in Spain with five times DTM champion and the developer of the car itself Bernd Schneider driving the SLS AMG GT3 "45th Anniversary". Enjoy.
