Maybe that was addressed in previous post but I couldn't find it.

Does anyone know why the site is not being updated? Last update I get is 14 Oct.

i noticed that too. i think its because the staff are re-doing that site, as it will become the offical site as it has been purchased by the FIA.

Wasn't it here that I heard it was bought out by Bernie or something like that and shut down.

Thanks, I heard that Bernie had bought them out but I thought they were supposed to keep going... Oh well time will tell. Thanks again

i was thinking the same things. I thought the F1 world must have shut down for some reason.

But i still normally go to other good sites for F1 news.

F1-Live.com and
F1central.net

any good others to note?

Tom.
