We really need a trumpet fanfare here.

At last, after much anticipation the FIA has published the official 2008 entry list.  Unsurprisingly there is no Prodrive. 

The Super Aguri drivers are named as Sato and Davidson despite neither of them having signed a contract.

McLaren as part of their onging persecution have been given numbers 22 (Hamilton) and 23 (Kovalainen).

Other than that the list is exactly as expected.

I'm sure that this doesn't mean anything, but it gave me a smile:

Check out the driver photos on the Official F1 website:

Kovi is shown with McLaren wearing proper McLaren kit. Ferd is shown with Renault.....wearing McLaren kit!


I guess he was in such a hurry to leave Woking that he didn't bother to change suits!

[Scott]

Still not back from holidays I guess - couldn't get a picture, and we know he's not email savy enough to send one in at least in his civi's (they could have even used a picture of him from '06, couldn't they?).

[Steven Roy]

I am shocked that Renault have copied a McLaren design.   

This time there is proof so that will be 100mill.

That's nothing.  Don't look now but I think that's Scott Speed in the STR shown - and if not him, it's Liuzzi.  Those ghosts just won't go away, will they?

Also, I notice that Toyota's half-billion-dollar budget wasn't enough to give their new driver Timo Glock the correct branded kit in time...

Times must be hard at Toyota they seem to have a double decker bus as their hospitality suite, even poor old Super Aguri have somewhere upmarket to relax in. It must be true then Toy are winding down their F1 operations ready for a big move into F3.

Ah, Formula Toyota, here we come...

(Wait a minute, I think that series might already exist. I think I saw it deep in one of my Autosports...)

It was just that Timo's gear got there very late, because it ws delivered in a Toyota.

Oh dear. Doesn't bode well for the 2008 racer...
