Hi everyone,
Welcome to another F1 newsletter, catching up with the news from the last few weeks, and a recap of some recent articles on the BellaOnline site.
In the news:
Red Bull have confirmed that Sebastian Vettel will get a chance in the car with them at an upcoming test in Jerez. It will be a good chance for him to see what the team and the car is like ahead of joining them in 2009.
Rumours were abound that the circuit at Spa would be getting yet more developmental changes, which the fans didn’t like. It seems like this isn’t the case, but it’s yet to be official either way.
Massa has said that his main rival at the moment is Raikkonen, and he wants to beat him this weekend in Belgium. But he also says that Kimi will be perfectly happy to act as a second driver if the situation called for it.
