The thread of 2010 was very nice, and I really enjoyed all of the participation of you guys. Now the first infos for the oncoming season are coming in, one by one, but there are some nasty sidenotes from behind the financial scenes. But let's look step by step...

(these are just some central points, full news coverage here: Premium Link Upgrade

- Petrov stays with Renault until 2012

- Ferrari shuffles it's engineering department (Not so much of a surprise)

- The 2.4 litre V8s get replaced with four cylinder 1.6 litre engines from 2013 on. I guess the companies will all struggle a lot with that one. And how will those new engines sound? Hmmm

Over to that behind the scenes story:

BayernLB's has managed the sale of car-racing events company Formula One to CVC in 2006. One specific member handled that deal specifically, and he got arrested yesterday, January 6th, 2011. He is accused of accepting a bribe of 50 Million Euros for do some things not according to the laws and regulations.
