Massa wins French GP
June 23, 2008
Felipe Massa won the French GP finishing in front of his teammate Kimi Raikkonen and Jarno Trulli who both got on the podium. Kubica came in fourth to keep his title challenge alive.
Bad weekend for Hamilton…
After incurring a 10 place penalty in qualifying it was always going to be hard for Lewis. It looked a good start and on the first lap he was going through the field. He got up to 9th but incurred another penalty after incorrectly passing Vettel, that meant he had to drive through the pits, there was no way back for Lewis and he ended in 10th. He is now 10 points off new Championship leader Felipe Massa.

Will Ronaldo move to Madrid?
June 23, 2008
Somehow, someway the transfer saga surrounding Ronaldo is still going on. It started so long ago, according to Ronaldo he made had made his decision before the champion’s league final. He decided not to tell us and now it has been going on for some months.
Ronald said…
“The possibilities of me going to Madrid are great but it does not depend on me. I know there is a concrete offer on the table, now let’s see if we can reach a deal in the next days. ” He continued…
“For me it’s a very good opportunity. As Scolari says, this only happens once. I didn’t want to say anything because we were in competition and these are important decisions.”
Real Madrid president has also been stirring the situation by saying…
“If the kid keeps himself in that strong position, the step he has taken could be key. As we have already said many times, it is a problem between Manchester United and the player. If the two resolve the situation and Manchester United want to call us, then we will be happy and delighted with that because Cristiano is a great player.”
Simon says…
I really don’t know how this is still going. I am a United fan and I don’t care whether he stays or goes now. He has disrespected Fergie, the club and the fans. He has gone down in my estimation and I believe we will cash in. The prospect of Wesley Sneidjer joining and £40m in the bank sounds mouthwatering. I hope we do the deal and get rid of “the god”.
