Ah poor Cahrlie! She'll be distraught at that. But Champcar have just gained a new fan I suppose, if she can find a cable channel that shows that rubbish.

Ah dear, what are ye like? Once again my superior knowledge of all things F1 astounds even me (slight exaggeration there, but what's an exaggeration between friends?)
Anyway, it's http://www.atlasf1.com/
Different to itv (obvivously) but not bad for all that.

Oh, see on the ITV site, do you read The Mole? I think that's excellent. How the hell does he find that stuff out????

OH NO! ANY ONE BUT HERBERT! WHY, He's such a good driver! http://www.p45.net/rant/wink.gif

I certainly will be sorry to see him go but so long as he keeps driving, I'll be happy.

No doubt you'll all be happier to know that he wont be in F1 next season.

Confirmed

Johnny Herbert has ended weeks of speculation by calling time on his Formula 1 career.

Herbert plans to race in the ChampCar series next season, although he is yet to sign for a team. He was spotted at the Michigan race last weekend and was thought to be negotiating a drive.

The 36-year-old Englishman has been driving for Jaguar this season and has yet to score a point. He has struggled with reliability and has been out-performed by team-mate Eddie Irvine.

...adios muchachos.....

Ditto to what Joey said....Herbert has never been anything more than mediocre.....nowhere near the same league as Alesi....
