    Some of you will remember the former F1 doc, Gary Hartstein, who, among other things, provided a lot of layman-friendly explanations of Michael Schumacher's medical condition, etc. According to this Jalopnik article -- Ex-F1 Doctor Claims FIA Tried To Have Him Fired Over Blog Posts -- the FIA may be after him, trying to get him fired from his day job.

    Hartstein's open letter to the FIA Institute President (and Jean Todt) is really entertaining :D IMO: An open letter to Gérard Saillant (oh yeah Jean Todt too)

    I'm guessing his lawyer(s) told him to lay low for a bit and stop poking the bear(s).

    Vettel only one left at Ferrari

    Ferrari has now ‘let go’ of so many people following its underwhelming 2014 season that the only person left working at the factory is Sebastian Vettel.

    ‘There have been several departures this week,’ said the team’s press spokesman, Sebastian Vettel. ‘But work continues on next season’s car under the supervision of technical director Sebastian Vettel and chief designer, Sebastian Vettel.’

    Sources in Maranello say that Vettel is pulling out all the stops to get the new car ready, under direct orders from team principal Sebastian Vettel.

    UPDATE: In a shock move, Ferrari team boss Sebastian Vettel has sacked himself. For the time being, his duties will be taken on by a small piece of broken carbon fibre.

    UPDATE 2: Spies say an enormously hungover Kimi Raikkonen has just woken up from under a pile of overalls and flags in a store room and is now staggering about the deserted factory muttering ‘oh no, zombie attack’.

    I like Gutierrez as a driver. There are some rumors floating around in re to $ via Carlos Slim too which could be a good thing.
