McLaren Faces High Stakes on April 29
A few days ago, at the Malaysian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was stripped of the six points from his 3rd place in Australia because he and his team were found guilty of lying.

The announcement came last Tuesday that the Woking team has been summoned before the World Motor Sport Council on April 29 to answer for its actions in this lying scandal.

GP of France in Flins will not happen, GP of France will happen!
Another clash of the week that will interest French F1 enthusiasts is the one between the Minister of the Environment and the President of the General Council of Yvelines regarding the organization of a French Grand Prix in 2011. Just a day apart, Mr. Borloo, Minister of the Environment, and Mr. Bedier, President of the General Council of Yvelines, expressed their views on a future F1 race in the town of Flins-Les Mureaux. The former claims that the project is no longer relevant before the latter retorts that it is feasible. In short, everyone has their own opinion on this project, especially since the viewpoint of Prime Minister François Fillon, a Formula 1 enthusiast, will be taken into account…
