If you go to a dirt race, make sure you take your ear plugs.

Also, rumor from Amsterdam is that Checo will get the red bull ride.

Marco Andretti pulling back to run INDY only this year, with possibilities of a few more races. Sponsorship issues or is Michael pushing to get a consistent winner there?

I remember after his first win that people thought he would get F1 interest... good days.

You will never have a sponsorship issue with the name "Andretti."

I'm going with the non-cynical route -- Marco really wants to start backing off his racing commitments. He has a lot of outside business interests, so he may be deciding it's time to start transitioning to that life full time. His father did the same.

His grandfather was "convinced" he was world championship material...

The Race is reporting that Romain Grosjean signed a deal with Dale Coyne, just road and street circuits.

I wonder if he will try an oval, just to see.

Maybe a short oval he said.

There was also another article where it said he had a full year agreement before his Bahrain crash. Then, that changed things. He's not doing a superspeedway ... at least not the first year.

Lewis Hamilton finally signs ... but for just one year. With no options.

Tons of speculation what that all means. In the meantime, he'll just worry about getting his record eighth title.

Given how different the speculation generally is, I doubt pretty much all of it.

Alonso hit by a car while cycling in Switzerland. Some reports say he has a broken jaw. He was moved to a hospital which specializes in his injuries (whatever that implies). They do say he's conscious.
