Nelson Piquet Jr. has confirmed that he has signed a contract with Flavio Briatore as his manager.

http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns17633.html

Piquet says his personal aim is to dislodge Fisichella from his place by the end of 2007. I won't be surprised if it happens a lot sooner.

Meanwhile, Rivals Vow 'No help' for Schumacher title

I read this article on F1Live.com and see it as a fine piece of crappy F1 journalism. Is there a need for such sorta question to come up at all ??!! Below is the article...

Quote:

Ralf Schumacher says he would not sacrifice position in the Brazilian grand prix on Sunday even if it means his brother Michael can retire with an eighth crown.

"My loyalty is to Toyota," Germany's daily Bild-Zeitung quoted the 31-year-old as saying. "I don't think they would accept an overdose of brotherly love."

The lead-up to the 2006 season finale has been littered with speculation of possible 'dirty tricks' to assist Schumacher's triumph over Fernando Alonso.

But the Ferrari veteran's German countrymen all vowed to stay out of the battle on the Sao Paulo circuit.

"I would be happy if Michael wins the title,"[/COLOR] Williams rookie Nico Rosberg said, "but I am not going to let anyone just overtake me."

BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld, meanwhile, says he wouldn't give up a first victory for 'ten million dollars'.

after leading the second qualifying session, michael's car had some kind of mechanical in the third session and was unable to complete, he is now currently in 10th position on the grid. if the car needs engine replacement, he will start from 20th position.

merve_extreme · 21st October 2006, 23:34

this is dreadful for michael,how can this even happen?
looks like his lady luck has already taken retirement.
