Other F1 news... Piquet Jr. will drive a BAR Honda 006 at Jerez this week. And Hakkinen has made it clear that he will never race in F1 again because he is getting too old.
Well almost, atleast according to the finnish media, Häkkinen stated that "F1 is outruled from my life...(3second pause)....but the world is so crazy that one can never be 100 % sure" He still leaves the door a bit open even if he does repeatdely in the same intervue say that hes not going to race F1 because hes getting too old. Maybe there will be a vintage F1 someday where Mika can compete against Schumi again OH, and that Red Bull front wing looks like it's been in the hot sun a bit too long...but if it works, everything goes.
If he doesn't want to race in F1, he could be a test driver for McLaren(example). Olivier Panis is 39 and Nissany(Minardi test driver) is 41 years old. As for being a race driver in F1..well he said it, its over. If he wanted to returned, 2005 should have been the year. You don't know how much I wanted to see him driving for Williams or BAR battling against world champions like MS and JV. And watching him go against KR, FA and JPM would have been great to see!
They seem to have some fairly large exhaust chimneys on the rear of that thing. Intersting new paintjob, but still not that "exciting" (but it's not that boring either).
