[The Second Coming]

...and scene:

After securing the Force India drive, Sutil is seen walking down the back lot of the Melbourne circuit just as Lewis steps out of the Mercedes-AMG team motor-suite. They come face to face. How would you write the end to this scene?

I'm just saying...

Are there any champagne flutes to hand?

[What's Burning?]

They've probably spoken since. Given the ways of F1, it wouldn't surprise me that Lewis' move to Mercedes had Sutil joining the grid for a Mercedes customer team as an addendum.

Must have missed the announcement. When did they switch from Merc to Renault power?

There's been some speculation that Torro Rosso will change to Renault engines - there's an obvious advantage here for Red Bull to gain better data from their cars/testing. At the same time I heard the FI were considering changing to Ferrari power.

Whenever I see FI I always think its F1. Takes me ages to work it out...every time!!

Didn't where to put this

A Madrid-based car recycling firm has purchased five cars previously used by the now folded HRT Formula 1 team, company owner Teo Martin confirmed on Friday.

Martin has acquired three cars from 2012 and two from 2011, while the engine units used in all five have been taken back by supplier Cosworth. A third car from 2011 was bought by Pirelli, which the Italian brand has confirmed will be used as a show car.

In addition to the cars, Martin has claimed a large proportion of the team's general equipment from its headquarters - situated at the Caja Magica in Madrid. The businessman is planning to sell items to collectors who express an interest.

A fortnight ago, there were reports that a group of investors from the United States and Canada had been looking at the possibility of purchasing HRT's assets and entering the sport under the name of Scorpion Racing, but a deal did not come to fruition.

HRT's cars being recycled?

Correct. It's a company that scraps various types of materials to be repurposed to make iPhone covers.

HRT F1 in a coke can near you soon.
The worst part is that no one even think the car is good enough to test tyre with. Just a show car
