Originally I had broken this down into three separate stories... But the amount of “Breaking News” just never quite ends, eh? As not only does Formula 1 NEVER Sleep; Nor does Motorsports, and thus here goes the first installment of what may become a new No Fenders winter segment?
F1 vs. CO2?
As those Fine Folks of Law & Order would say, this story is literally ripped right from the Headlines... Albeit I spotted it at Grizzled ‘Journo Joe Saward’s Grand Prix Blog instead, and it’s an interesting tease ‘bout what the Williams F1 Team has been doing to lower its Carbon Footprint the past few years...

Meanwhile Kamui Kobayashi whose just been anointed as a Japan Honourable International Ambassador, a Sports Tourism Master; Aye Karate! (Hya!) Is looking most forward to competing in his inaugural Home Grand Prix at Suzuka this weekend, where he burst upon the Formula One scene a year ago as Timo Glock’s substitute...

Lotus Racing announces new Drivetrain partner
Not surprisingly, on the heels of the current Lotus Racing F1 Team and Cosworth announcing the Official early disolvement of its 3-year contract for Engine supply; Lotus has now announced that it will become a Red Bull Technology (RBT) Customer for 2011 and onwards. RBT will supply Lotus Racing with Gearbox and Hydraulics package to mesh with the Customer Renault Engine it will be running in 2011, so watch for Team Lotus 2.0 to potentially make waves next season, as I’ll be looking forward to ‘KOVY mixing it up with the Big Boyz...
