Things to look out for German GP
1) MS will sign a 2 year contract with Ferrari, with a clause to leave whenever he wishes.
2) Kimi's future ?!
Reno perhaps ?
3) The WDC and WCC, can Ferrari achive a 1-2 with Toyota/Mclaren helping Ferrari by getting in between Ferrari and FA/Reno?
4) Do you think the WDC is in the pocket ? what about WCC ?
5) Are Michelin tyres losing their tyre advantage ? ( due to lack of financial support)

EG,
Like these ladies, much better than your last images.
In any case, I think Shui signs a one year, with no easy out.
Alonso has the WDC locked up, and as for the WCC, I think Ferrari could make a run on Renault. But that is largely in Fisi's hands.
Are any of you reading the Speed Boards info on Montoya's departure. Some weird rumors...

What I've seen is that F1 Montoya detractors are shocked that Montoya left before being kicked out, so now people are saying that his early separation from McLaren was not an early release in good terms, but rather him being fired by Ron Dennis, or even that he pursued the lightning-fast Nascar deal because he could smell the hammer falling... some of the rumors are:
-Nascar or no Nascar, he would be dropped for the French GP.
-He had a huge entourage in Indy that at times took over Mclaren's hospitality area, leaving no room for board members.
-Ron Dennis was "livid" at the entourage and the Indy incident with Raikonnen
-He was summoned for a July 11 meeting with Mercedes bigwigs to explain his lack of performance.
-There's even one dude on the board fuming over Montoya not following McLaren's dress code (on the Nascar announcement press conference), comparing it to "treason".

I can't speak to Ron Dennis's reaction, but after the race, Team McLaren Mercedes CEO Martin Whitmarsh pointedly said that Kimi was "clearly not at fault" for the first lap debacle. His not mentioning JPM at all spoke volumes.

However, it may have been a matter of reserving all available McLaren hospitality suite passes.

Sorry I didn't post a link to the Speed Community board. But Nola has it all in hand. I honestly think Montoya can do well in NasCRAP. However, those guys are going to be gunning for him. Makes it all the harder.
