Jenson Button and Mark Webber will this weekend lead the tributes to Dan Wheldon after the recent tragic death of their close friend. The pair have had helmet stickers made bearing Wheldon's logo, his initials in red, white and black, while Button revealed he will wear a black armband in Sunday's inaugural Indian Grand Prix.
"I sent Jenson a text after the race in Korea and I told him I wanted to get some stickers made up for our helmets," said Webber. "I asked him if he was keen and he said he was. It's a nice little sticker because we both knew him. It's only natural he is part of us a little this weekend."
McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton will have manager Simon Fuller by his side for only the second time this season in India. Hamilton's father Anthony, who managed Lewis until March 2010, has criticised his son's new team for failing to attend races.

Ferrari's chief designer Nikolas Tombazis concedes that his team will have to consider duplicating the innovations that have helped Red Bull sweep to the constructors' title three races before the end of the season. "You can't ignore your competitors: if Red Bull wins, you can't say 'I'll just mind my own business'," he said.

President of the Indian Motor Sports Federation Vicky Chandhok believes this weekend's Indian Grand Prix represents better value for the country than the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi. "I don't really see the purpose of the Commonwealth Games, with the viewership so low," he said. "The amount of money that was spent on putting up facilities that are not going to be looked after is something this country could ill afford. That was taxpayers' money, but this is private enterprise and it will be looked after."

not that i can tell... in reference to what though, track condition?
My son said something about an Indian government shakedown that might have kept it from being televised.
if so, that would make them very unlikely to ever have another one... i'm afraid Bernie would insist
Bernie has had it with a lot of these race organizers/money men.....especially the Asians it seems.
no doubt
This will be an interesting race. The track, from what I’ve seen on TV here, looks to be in good shape, and the layout is nice. What makes it more interesting is that, with the Championship sewed up, and I think the Constructor championship too, this might be an interesting venue for the teams to try some new innovations or strategies. There wouldn’t be any penalty for doing so, and the track is a good mixture of straights and technical sections that provide a nice testing ground for such things.
ya want on da list???
I don't know what the reference point is, but I will bet that if it is organized well in those countries, that means the private sector managed the event. If the organization was botched up, the government controlled it.
We should not be smug about our governments not botching up the organization of events because our governments swallow huge amounts of money compared to the Asians while organizing events. That too is one form of botching up.
2nd practice
very true...

For a while I wondered about Hamilton’s new helmet design (Bob Marley) and why the cameras kept focusing on it.
Heh. No woman no cry.
with all the Rookie mistakes he's been making, including THIS weekend, i almost think he's on dope...
Ouch, that’s harsh! Actually, thinking back to when I was his age, I can see how he could be cut up over some trollop he’s been bedding.
But that’s today’s F1 - a bunch of whippersnappers with no real life experience.
why, did he get dumped???
Yeah, looks like it. I don’t follow the tabloid mush, but I take a look at the Daily Mail page, and Nicole something-or-other just dumped him.
Hence, I guess, all the allusions to him ‘going through a rough time’ etc. And, of course, the helmet design.
