The squad will run a factory-backed Ginetta-Zytek Z09R in the main prototype class of the Le Mans Series – and hope to land an entry for the 24 Hours.

Greg and Leo will share the car with the 1992 world champion joining them at selected races, including the British GP at Silverstone 1,000km in September.

The battle between Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton is one of the most eagerly-anticipated match-ups of the new season.

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone computes Sebastian Vettel – and not Schumacher – will be the next German world champion.

Schumacher could well be joined back in Formula One by his younger brother Ralf Schumacher.

BBC reports that Kubica will stay with Renault despite the fact the team has new owners.

Apparently his manager have said:

‘Robert wants a performing car. Its useless if the driver gets more money if you have a weak car and lose (performance) bonuses. Its better to score points and make podiums than to earn more money.’

Since when do those agents look out for anyone else but themselves?

If Renault had asked Nelsons manager if the young driver should crash his car and secure victory for Alonso, would the outcome have been different?

F1 fans are smart and will not buy of this anyway.

There is a reason Kimi is not in F1 in 2010 too. Yeah, thats right – cash.

Good luck to Robert and Ill miss Kimi! Bring on Silverstone 2010

Keira Knightley has received mixed reviews for her West End debut in an updated production of Molieres 17th Century classic satire The Misanthrope, at Londons Comedy Theatre.f1

Speaking to the BBC earlier this week, the Atonement star said she expected to be ‘burned alive’ by the critics for her portrayal of a US film star.

QUENTIN LETTS – DAILY MAIL

Keira Knightley may be one of 21st century movies respected objects, but on stage she demonstrates little better than sufficient.

Her arrival on the West End in an interesting (but intellectually disingenuous) treatment of Molieres Le Misanthrope is, well, on the boring side.

She has all the charisma of a useful goldfish. Miss Keira Knightley has a faultless face, but it doesnt move about much.

In a movie actress this is frequently an advantage, but on stage it is a riskily. Its like giving a woodworker a blunt chisel.

CHARLES SPENCER – DAILY TELEGRAPH

At the beginning, Keira Knightley seems a touch tentative, lacking in both energy and attendance.

In the second half however, in which she bitchily affronts a false friend and has a real humdinger of a row with the jealous Alceste, she reveals both power and poignancy.

She also makes you understand why Damian Lewiss splendid Alceste is so obsessed with the movie star, even if she represents everything he disdains.

There is a mystery to Keira Knightleys allure, and an endearing streak of mischief in her portrayal of the actress.f1

BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE – THE TIMES

Keira Knightley catches the waywardness, occasionally the steel behind the velvety manner, the narcissistic love of care, but not the authority to explain how she can dominate a collecting by more than beauty.

Partly the cause is physical. Shes so wispy she could fit into an umbrella stand. Partly its a want of vox, Partly a lack of the confidence that more time on stage may bring her.tisha

Director James Camerons longawaited Avatar paints an alien race with a delicacy for bows and arrows, but keeps the 3D jutting clichés under control. Even when bloody arrowheads stick out at your face, Cameron secures the stunts dont distract from his spiritual story.

To begin, yes this is the epic visual masterpiece that youve all been waiting for and it succeeds in everything it tries to do (visually).The overall look is stunning beyond belief, the special effects are impeccable, Cameron got me to shed a tear and sit on the edge of my seat BUT the film isnt flawless, not by a long shot

Paraplegic war veteran, Jake Sully is brought to another planet called Pandora in place of his brother with the promise of getting his legs back if he helps the government on a mission. Pandora is inhabited by a primitive race called the Navi and Jake is sent in to learn their ways so that he can help relocate them and the humans can take over.

Instead they try to win the natives trust by setting up schools, teaching them English and infiltrating their number with organic avatars, modeled on Navi DNA but controlled with a human consciousness which is where Jake Sully (Australian actor Sam Worthington) comes in. Hes a Marine and just naïve or innocent enough to score a free pass into the most suspicious of the local tribes.

Navi detest ‘sky people’ and calls them Earth denizens. The mission is to get vast quantities of a mineral that Navi has and officials want to relocate Navi but Jake will never ever do it and will try to take it through negotiation. Jake gets lost in the forests and a Navi warrior Neytiri rescues him.

The Story: Cameron came up with a lot of original ideas for this film, but the story was not one of them. Although it was well put together, clean, and everything played out like clockwork, there was no originality to it. As everyone realized as they were walking out of the theater, the film is Dances with Wolves but with blue catlike aliens.

After watching ‘Avatar’, the question of paramount importance iswhat does one pick and what is it that should be left behind the experience that goes by the name of ‘Avatar’?

Early Footage: Although it was fun to see early footage of the film a few months ago, it screws you over in the long run. The first 45 minutes of the film is all about being in awe of the environment. Its about reacting to everything around you, for the people who have seen the footage the experience isnt fresh and therefore it doesnt carry you as much as it should. For those of you who have abstained from any footage, youll soon be rewarded.

Abu Dhabi has bailed out neighbouring Dubai with 10 billion in surprise assistance for debt-laden Dubai World, which said it would use 4.1 billion of it to repay its Nakheel units Islamic bond maturing on Monday.

The government of Dubai held a conference call on Monday to discuss the deal with a government source taking questions.

Abu Dhabi and Dubai are indisputably working as partners here to find a good, equitable solution to the Dubai World situation. The key part is buying time to let Dubai World and creditors the opportunity to come together on reciprocal restructuring.

There are no conditions. This is a government-to-government fund, the terms of that fund are inside to the government of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. These funds are especially for Dubai World.

I wont go into specifics. There is no conditionality. Abu Dhabi has made it clear it is there to hold up Dubai, Dubai World and I wont go into specifics of how the money is being handed. Whats momentous is we have two partners that is going to help each other and help the UAE (United Arab Emirates).

The government of Dubai has been in consultation for some time with bankruptcy professionals and world judges to develop a framework that is transparent, equitable and acceptable to all parties.

The recent UAE bankruptcy laws are largely untested and (their) administration by Dubai courts poses certain challenges and problems for a big and complex bankruptcy of this size.

These (new) laws should let Dubai World, should it choose it to use the laws to reach its restructuring and remaining obligations should it not find a reciprocal restructuring with its creditors.
