More rumours abound...
By Alianora La Canta
April 26 2006
There have been so many rumors about MF1 recently that some fans thought they'd like to start their own. These are the thoughts of our own Alianora La Canta and make so much sense we just had to put them on the front page...
The reason why Albers is rumoured to be leaving MF1 is because he is due to
lead MF1's very first prototype Le Mans effort in 2007. He will be
partnering Coulthard (the guy's got to have somewhere to go after
Schumacher ousts him from Red Bull) and Vanina Ickx (Midland's lead driver
in DTM). Audi are rumoured to be very, very worried...

When Tiago isn't doing Le Mans, he will be racing for Toyota. Red Bull
will decide a Shumacher-Schumacher line-up was irresistable, and Toyota
will regard Tiago as a natural replacement.

Juan Pablo has reportedly requested a transfer to NASCAR racing. "Tiago in
a bigger team is really bad news - if I turned my car into a mobile road
block in front of him again, I probably wouldn't get out of the pitlane
for all the angry Toyota and MF1 employees. At least in NASCAR nobody
minds too much if I get involved in crashes..."

Alain Prost is hoping to make some radical changes to MF1 when he arrives
in the No. 1 MF1 seat after Monaco. Johnny Herbert will be moved from PR
in order to allow JH to set up a new "MF1 Racing Academy". To enable the
MF1 Racing Academy to be established, Alex Shnaider will buy the whole GP2
series from Flavio Briatore (who wants more time to keep track of Alonso's
contracts). The five MF1 test drivers will spend their non-testing time
teaching approximately half the world's single-seater racers how to
improve their technique.

Other changes include recruiting Mika Hakkinen as a part-time liason
between MF1 and Toyota. Toyota will respond to this by guaranteeing MF1
engines until (to quote Toyota's spokesperson) "the sky falls down and
pitlane lollipops grow on trees." Mika will also be taking Vanina Ickx's
vacated seat (see previous rumour).

The fact that Alain Prost won't be at MF1 until after Monaco means that
there will be three races to fill. As widely reported, Colin Kolles will
race at the Nurburgring. He has sportingly allowed Alex Shnaider and Senor
Bourbon-Thingimajig to share a race seat in Spain. The mysterious
accountant at Midland's largest steel factory, known only as "Mr.
Twoflower" will race at Monaco. Apparently he was so fast in testing at
Silverstone last month that he caused the timing server to crash, which
was why no further MF1 times were recorded for that session...

Classic!
