I think the no name team has a better chance at Monza. They are developing their DDRS to help them qualify better. No other front line team has seen any great merit in developing it this year. They need hot conditions to go well. Pirelli have gone with softs and super softs for Singapore which might help them too.
No name team boss said they don't care if they don't win a race, as long as they finish second or third in the constructors championship.
They will probably finish 4th in that.

i m 50/50 over this. i don't want him to go to Ferrari but i want him to move to some consistently front running team too like Mclaren or RBR :-# .. not Ferrari of course as long as ALO's there.
The likelihood of that happening is the same as HRT taking pole next race and having a 1-2. Everyone has been linked with that seat except you Paula.

meh!! :S i don't take Coulthard seriously. sorry.
DC is alluding to what Lauda did on the podium. That was the first time i saw him without his cap. He never takes it off 'cause of all the burn marks he has because of his horrific accident.

what the hell? :S .. honestly i don't care but is it good?
Surprised how and why Ferrari agreed with that. In-season testing has been their strength for a long long time even if it's for a few days.
Teams could have agreed to test at a circuit after a GP like Moto GP does i think.

don't drivers get to keep their trophies? :S if not, can't they/teams make fake trophies (copy of original) for them to keep both parties satisfied :S sorry i was thinking like a true Pakistani there.
They do exactly that:)
Although your assumption is right that teams either gives replica trophy or allows the driver to keep the original trophy but McLaren is the only team which does not do any thing they kept every trophy in their trophy room at their Headquarter.
I think they do give replicas. A few years back Mika Hakkinen's house burnt down and all his trophies were destroyed. I remember him saying something along the lines of asking Mclaren to make new replicas for him.
