No race for ages, so more "filler chat" about rumours etc etc

Justin: In reference to my fellow blogger's post - di Montezemolo is a twat. He is on some ego trip if he actually thinks the FIA will ever allow 3 cars from 1 team in a race. That's stupid. If that does ever happen you'll end up with 3 Ferarri's, 3 Red Bulls and 3 McClarens taking the first 9 positions!!! Possibly the most unfair and unjust system ever. The smaller teams would never be able to afford it, and whilst the mid table teams would have another car to go for points....you'd have so many other cars potentially ahead of you from the big teams, there wouldnt be any point. F1 = teams with two cars. Thats how it should always be!

Much more important things are afoot on the F1 rumour mill. Kubica to Ferarri to replace Massa next year is one that seems to be gaining a lot of momentum.

I will also point out that Ted Kravitz stated on his BBC blog that Massa was apparently furious with Alonso for his (perfectly legal) move at the time. But, he had the foresight to report that Fernando was coming in first and to get his tyres out instead of his own. Afetr the race he was (probably forced) to issue a statement saying he was slow out of the hairpin and he had no reason to be annoyed with Fernando as it was a legal move, other people overtook there etc etc.

I'd say any friction between Alonso and Massa is all one way (Massa is nowhere near as ruthless as Alonso), as Alonso seemed pretty undisturbed by his move afterwards, stating that the press is only interested because they are teammates. Had two non teammates done the same going into the pits, it wouldnt have been as under the microscope......he is right, as Lewis did the same to Vettel and nobody talked about that.

Also I would point out the link to the full article is here....my fellow blogger sounds like a member of the press, reporting only a tiny amount of what actually transpired...naughty!
