....he has a child with heidi klum.

[CVT]

Yes,- Mr. "Shaded Area" is a playboy. Money talks....

[Eismann]

Inggit ako kay Briatore....pag laki ko gagayahin ko sya.

[number001]

It goes to show, as long as you have immense wealth, power, and connection, all the gorgeous babes will be swarming you. You dont need to be a hunk or sport a chiselled six pack....

[BoyFerrari]

Not to mention that super model Naomi Campbell was also Briatore's former girlfriend.

Unfortunately, Naomi broke up with Lolo Flavio because Naomi claimed Flavio wanted her to cook breakfast for him while wearing her modelling clothes. Naomi thought he was just treating her like a trophy so she dumped him.

[BoyFerrari]

Sa tingin nyo, pera lang ba talaga ang habol ng mga babae?

[number001]

security that comes from wealth and power.

[scarab]

Sa tingin nyo, pera lang ba talaga ang habol ng mga babae?

....naisip ko rin ito eh. baka naman lovable tong si flavio. he's sincere with his feelings, treats women with utmost repsect, blah... blah.. blah...

Q: The announcement that Giancarlo Fisichella will remain with Renault in 2007 has come very early in the season. Is this a move designed to provide continuity in the team’s development?

FB: It is a move to keep one of the best F1 drivers with our team. Fisico is a race winner, a team player, a very strong all-round driver. We wanted to keep him with the team for continuity, yes, but also because he has the ability to compete at the top level. I believe he can do a very good job for us.

Q: Fisichella has said that his 2007 team mate will very likely be a Finn, bringing the names of (Renault tester) Heikki Kovalainen and (McLaren’s) Kimi Raikkonen to mind. Renault team’s President Alain Dassas has also said any driver must bring with him the chance of early success, which would arguably narrow things down to Raikkonen. What is the current state of affairs regarding a definitive Renault line-up for next season?

FB: There are no ideal line-ups, just opportunities and possibilities to make things happen. We are working on our line-up, and talking to lots of people. When we are ready, we will announce what will happen.

so... Fisi will stay with Renault with a Finnish driver (speculation)...

i read from f1racing.net that toro rosso are close to finalizing a deal with renault (renault will supply their engines) with that deal comes a possible driver swap involving kovalainen (renault's current test driver who happens to be finnish) driving a toro rosso car next season. that leaves raikkonen as the only available finnish driver around in f1. kimi in a renault and alonso in a mclaren.. hmm.. parang trade nangyari hehe

hmmm... kimi in a blue suit?

parang hindi bagay sa personality nya... hehehe! he'll look better in ferrari red or mclaren black.

on the other hand... if this does come true... I'd expect Kimi & Schumi to slug it out next season... can't wait for the next season to begin!

[allen_the_great]

yup. i dont know kimi looking good in a ferrari red, got so used to seeing him in a silver and black mclaren.

if hindi magreretire si schumi, i really doubt kimi going to ferrari. he wont play second fiddle to schumi. baka renault bagsak nya coz i also doubt mclaren keeping him with alonso already on board.

[number001]

Whether Schumi ever retires or not, they better get rid of erratic Massa and slot Kimi right in there!

that won't happen.

[niky]

Kimi isn't going to want to sit as Schumi's understudy. Neither did Alonso, which is why he's going to McLaren.

yes exactly. il bet all my money that Kimi wont go to ferrari as long as the old man is still there. Kimi is a lead driver, someone who will not play second fiddle to anyone, not even to Schumacher.

IMO, there are only 3 worthy lead drivers in F1 currently, Alonso, Schumi, and Raikkonen. so dont expect either of them being teammates ala Prost and Senna. even that dream pairing turned out to be a disaster. (did not live up to expectations)

Erratic Massa?

With him at 5th place for the driver's championship... ahead of JPM, Barichello, Button, etc... I can hardly call him "erratic".

There's some truth to this. And Ferrari wants it this way until Massa gets more confidence to pose a serious challenge to Schumi and the other lead drivers...siyempre for the constructor's championship din. Reason enough why siya napili to replace Rubens.
