Dear Diário AS
I’m getting used to it that it seems normal nowadays to pickup information researched by other parties and selling them as if they were your own. Is it too embarassing for the AS editor to cite a medium like P1Mag as a source?
Schumacher wins again

BMW keep embarrassing themselves
Next episode in the BMW Formula 1 withdrawal saga: no more Qadbak, now Peter Sauber himself is officially buying back the team. Under the condition, of course, that the team will have a slot allocated by the FIA in the 2010 grid. And that’s not foreseeable so far. The saga continues.

I presume Robert Kubica’s life at the Rally du Var is going to be hell after P1Mag exclusively (OK, we’ll use that ugly word for once) revealed MercedesGP is looking to sign the polish driver for 2010 and beyond.

Mercedes GP serves anti-climax
As if journalists had nothing better to do than prepare for a telephone press conference for the German media at 1 pm local time, while the Mercedes-Benz press office leaks the purpose of such Event hours before to the British media. Very poor! And the “news” is a perfect anti-climax: Nico Rosberg confirmed, no word on second driver. Even worse! Spare me, will ya? Call me when you got REAL NEWS, Norbert.

Reading beween the lines
First of all I always found it rather odd that the Formula1.com personnel has always been hidden away from the public. Even when I was the editor-in-chief there, it was the dictated policy to do so. So we don’t know if the recent “exclusive interview” with Kimi Räikkönen has been done by an investigating journalist – which would then require mentioning the name – or whether it is a staged PR stunt. Want me to guess…?
