Justin: Anyone spotting a pattern emerging in the title of my blogs? If anyone is actually reading of course.....co blogger, where are you?!
On with the news roundup. Mclaren are launching their car in early February, just after the first official test days in Spain, thus they miss some important testing time.
Personally, I can't really see anyone outside Vettel or Alonso being champion in 2011. Missing out in 2010 by such a small margin seems to have ignited Fernando like never before (and he tends to ignite a fair amount!) and Vettel will no doubt still have the fastest car out there.....you don't need a Schuey if you have a Newey...as the old saying goes.
On the subject of Schumi.....me thinks Alonso has started playing mind games quite early by saying he see's Schumi as his biggest direct threat for 2011....erm....ok Fernando we believe you, given you trashed him twice and made him retire last time out in 2006!
Speaking of Alonso and Ferrari, they had their big ski-ing bash with Ducati - pictures here...

Alonso, sporting a pirate look, competitive as ever, beat Hayden, Massa and Rossi in 2 Ice Karting races....nice. I'd like to try my hand at that, given I am a pretty good Karter myself..
Red Bull seem to be getting accused of not sticking to spending budgets that were agreed last year. Same old, same old in F1. Anyone who wins seems to get accused of cheating in some way.
Jake Humphrey has a long way to go before he is blogging to our standards, but I have included a link to his blog here - despite DC being part of the commentating team with Brundle, he will still be mincing around the pitlane with JH and EJ - excellent...as Jake himself says, why break up a winning threesome. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/jakehumphrey/2011/01/ringing_the_changes_for_2011.html
On that note, I am done.
