Rumours and thoughts
My Curious Bystander this week takes a look at the VAGroup. It seems that few people can understand why they are not in some way tied into F1. Yes the old argument that they are in Rally (with Skoda) touring cars (with Seat) and Le Mans (with Audi) goes some way to using the companies competition budget up. However can it stay that way for much longer?
Both BWM and Mercedes have got 'big' teams in F1 now, and if VW want to compete at the same level selling cars surely they need to compete at the same level in racing.

Weekly roundup
I've decided to do a weekly roundup for the world of F1. ITV-F1 used to have a column called 'The Mole', well I'm not so much a mole as a Curious Bystander, so that is what I shall name it.
This week we have a good chunk of news and rumours to go through. There is the 'news' that Schumi has signed a $60 million 2 year deal with Ferrari and that Rossi will make his mind up shortly on his future. The news39;s that Toyota and Honda have both 'got their tyre problems sorted', as well as the huge serge to join F1 in 2008.
