My good friend Steve has answered most questions. Yes, we were asked, and as he said still waiting for it to be launched, that, after having to prepare enough material for 6 months in advance. I think we had enough for about four odd months, not sure though:S
I think you, Paula, can write about anything. Or you can write about automobiles. There are a few different sections in the mag. Do check it out.
Umm, Steve was gentle? I thought you d be very disappointed with him for being that;)
I have to disagree with my good friend Steve about the costs. I think teams will have to pay and Bridgestone will ask in the region of 80 million for a season, which is 30 million more than Michelin and a lot more than Avon. That is what i read some where, some where being either Autosport or James Allen's blog. I don't check other websites much.

Those forums on planetf1 are not bad. Sometimes one finds a really retarded thread but one also gets good information from there too although it's full of Hamilton fans:) That chick is not bad, Laura23, she has changed her signature since the start of the season. Her signature in december last year was, Schumacher WDC predicted on 12/12/09.
The thread you are quoting sounds like a silly one which suggested Vettel should have been forced to retire the car. He should have parked the car and then gone on to lose the title by those very points, fingers crossed:D They must have been talking about Raikkonen driving around with a broken exhaust in France, and not being asked to come in. That was more dangerous than Vettel. He was only asked to look after the brakes and asked not to go too fast.
The other thing on JA's blog in the same piece was his praise at how well Vettel drove in Bahrain when the spark plug went pop. As far as i remember, his lap times were all over the place, he lost two places and by the time Rosberg finally got close, Vettel had picked up the pace again. It's not like he was stuck in a gear or some other problem which required him to adopt his style to driving it differently. He had less power and was a sitting duck on the straights. I found it amusing that JA compared that drive to Schumacher and Alonso's drives.
Sorry my friend but i beg to differ again on tire war. In current F1, with limited testing, and i mean very limited testing a tire war shoud not even be called tire war. In four pre-season tests how much can it affect the costs? It was expensive when there was so much testing, five-six years back.

PR being one thing that he was not interested in and as you pointed out, he was never interested in being part of Ferrari. He never put in the effort and expected the team to provide him with a car that was capable of running at the front or where ever and he was happy to race. That to me was a glaring example of being unprofessional. He was a racer in the old mold, ones that find it very hard to survive in the corporate world that F1 has become.
To stir up a debate, one can argue he was over hyped:D After all, Massa did show him the way for almost all of 2008 and 09 before he had his accident. Look at Massa now, and no, the accident has had no affect on him what so ever. He has come back the same fast driver, whatever level that might be, as he was in
08 and `09. So that excuse cannot be used, but he has been made to look very ordinary by Alonso.
Then again, maybe the Ferrari is not such an easy car to driver and the true pace is what Massa is showing, and Alonso is flattering the F10?:S
One small note, if Bridgestone stay in F1, others wont come. F1 will sadly remain the way it is, only one tire supplier, that's what the teams want.

We shall all pray that your power doesn't go around race time:) and please do something, like scan your birth certificate and attach it here or Paula might end up in prison.
