I have only one thing to say about the return of slick tires in F1. Yes!

It’s always seemed to me a bit odd to have such a single purpose machine as an F1 race car forced to run on grooved tires. Three cheers for the return of slick tires to F1.

Bring back slick tires, get rid of traction control and drivers aids, go back to manual shifting and then maybe we’ll be back to seeing who are the really skilled drivers.

It’s official. Fernando Alonso will be driving for Renault in 2008. Fernando seems pleased to be returning to his old team. I wonder how much of that is happy memories with his two back to back championships with the team?

If Renault is not competitive next year it will be interesting to see how far into the season we get before Alonso begins to whine about something?

If Renault doesn’t put a very competitive car on the track next season I think they are in for a world of grief.
