Pastor Maldonado will drop from sixth to 16th on the Brazilian GP grid after incurring his third reprimand for missing the weighbridge. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8278654/Maldonado-hit-with-10-place-penalty Kamui Kobayashi thinks he might still have an opportunity to remain in Formula 1 with another team despite losing his Sauber seat to Esteban Gutierrez. The Japanese driver's lack of sponsorship was key to Sauber's decision. Kobayashi has been striving to find more funding and thinks he might now have enough backing to secure one of the remaining vacant seats. Force India and Caterham are the main options for drivers yet to secure 2013 drives. "We're just waiting for some money to come in," said Kobayashi. "We're waiting, we just need a sign." He underlined that nothing was secured yet, saying: "It will be difficult. I'm talking with another team, but it's difficult to say." Kobayashi added: "If I don't talk [to other teams] it means I'm retired." He said he had no hard feelings towards Sauber, despite being dropped just after securing his maiden F1 podium at Suzuka. "I'm not disappointed. They need a sponsor and more money for the team," Kobayashi said. "I cannot find money in such a short time." He said he was not interested in looking for a reserve driver role. "I want to race, I don't want to walk around here as a test driver," Kobayashi insisted. "I've already done two years as a test driver with Toyota and I know how that feels. "It's not easy to wait around for 20 races. To stay here without driving is like being in jail." Toyota supported the early part of Kobayashi's career and gave him his F1 break in late-2009. The Japanese manufacturer now has a successful World Endurance Championship programme, but Kobayashi insisted it was too soon to consider non-F1 options. "It's too early to think about that. I'm not really interested in that," he said when asked if he would chase a Toyota WEC seat. "I want to be in Formula 1. I think I can be more successful if I have a chance." He will start 15th for his final race with Sauber in Brazil. "I want to get a good result for the team in my last race for Sauber and I think there is a chance to do so," Kobayashi said. "I just want to work with the team and say goodbye with a smile." http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/104554 Romain Grosjean and Pedro de la Rosa have escaped any sanction for their coming together during qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/104550

Michael Schumacher needs two laps on Sunday at the United States GP to call another record his own, that of most racing kilometres in the sport. http://www.planetf1....d-awaits-Schumi F1 drivers could be put on a points system next season that sees drivers docked points for offences with a one-race ban the end result. FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting is keen to see a system put into place that penalises drivers who commit repeat offences. Each offence would be allocated a number of points with the more severe costing the driver more. And once a certain number of demerits had been reached, the driver would be hit with an automatic one-race ban. "We would like to see a system, and indeed we could discuss it with the teams next Wednesday in Brazil, similar to the sort of thing you have with your road licence where you will accumulate points on your Super Licence," Whiting told Autosport. "If you get to 12 points, or whatever it is, you will have a race [ban]. That's the sort of thing we will discuss." He added: "You will accrue points for all sorts of penalties, whereas at the moment we have only got three reprimands and two of those have to be for driving infringements. "At the moment, if you had a reprimand for being late for a press conference and a reprimand for being late for a drivers parade, that wouldn't lead to a 10-place grid penalty. "It has got to be for driving infringements. If we looked at the Super Licence approach where you get a point for this, two for that, it would all count." Whiting, though, admits he first needs the teams to agree before such a system could be introduced and he doesn't expect that will come easily. "That's something that we would like to see but it's probably not simple, nothing in F1 is really. "It's something we are going to try to discuss with the teams. http://www.planetf1....y-points-system Aside from the lack of grip the drivers experienced on Friday, Mark Webber reckons the new CoTA track is both "demanding" and "fun". "It's a pretty good track," said the Aussie. "Obviously it was very slippery to start with. That was quite frustrating probably for all of us, but the track rubbered in pretty well at the end. We got into a pretty good rhythm. "As usual with all new circuits you've got to work out where you can prioritise your time, and the compromises around the lap. It's got a bit of everything, really. "It's fun, it's a new challenge for us. It can be demanding and a bit frustrating at times, because we want to learn faster, that's the way it always is with is guys, but in the end I think we executed a pretty clean Friday. "We know that the tyres are pretty high maintenance, that's something we've got to look into tonight. The rest of it was pretty straightforward, no huge surprises, I suppose the grip level of the track, but that's always improving." As for whether the latest Herman Tilke design with the offer the overtaking opportunities everyone is hoping for, Webber reckons it could be a bit difficult given how slippery it is off the racing line. "It's not the easiest track, especially off line it's very slippery. It's a good circuit, let's see what the racing's like." http://www.planetf1....etty-good-track

The FIA have confirmed that as of next season use of the Drag Reduction System in practice and qualifying will be limited to the official zones. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8250977/DRS-to-be-limited-in-2013 Mark Webber has slammed the new format of the podium procedure which was implemented mid-season. From the British Grand Prix, which Webber won, drivers have been interviewed on the podium after being handed their trophies and at some circuits the flags of the winning drivers are no longer raised, instead appearing electronically. The format came under the spotlight in Abu Dhabi when first Kimi Raikkonen and then Sebastian Vettel swore on the podium, something Webber believes was inevitable. "For swearing, that will never go away. It will always never be far away," he said. "You are full of adrenaline. You are excited. You have just had an incredible grand prix in general in those cases, so I think sometimes you might not use the right language, but now we have to be mindful of that. "It is another part of the weekend where you have to keep an eye on things." While it may just be the driver's language that has come under the spotlight, Webber believes the whole format is undesirable. "I certainly wasn't impressed in Silverstone with 1000 dignitaries up there. I think the podium should be for the drivers, no one else," Webber said of his experience in Britain. "A clear shot of celebration of the drivers and what they have achieved. Not having everyone stand in front and having their five minutes. That pissed me off. "You need real flags. The electronic flags look rubbish. You need real flags waving in the wind. "Drivers [interviewing] on the podium...? I am 50/50 on that." http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8251016/Webber-hits-out-at-new-podium-style Robert Kubica admits that he would love to return to Formula One, but for now is concentrating on more achievable goals. "For the, let's say future, I don't have any plans up until now. In the end, I am still at the stage of rehabilitation but for sure I would love to compete in a high level championship, or in a rally or on a circuit," he told Reuters. Kubica has not totally ruled out a return to F1 but is taking his recovery one step at a time. "Let's see, until now I did some rallies, I did some testing on the race track and I hope my hand will improve and my general condition will improve," he said. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8251719/Kubica-upbeat-but-realistic

Amidst reports that the Nurburgring will no longer host F1, Hockenheim mayor Dieter Gummer has said his city is not in talks to hold the race in 2013. The German Grand Prix alternates between the Nurburgring and Hockenheim, with the former scheduled to hold the race in the middle of July next year. However, the Nurburgring is in the midst of an insolvency process and a spokesman has been quoted as telling the DPA news agency that there will be "no more Formula One" at the track. Hockenheim has previously stated that they are unable to cope with the financial burden of hosting the race every year and mayor Gummer has revealed that despite the cloud hanging over the Nurburgring, negotiations are not on the go to switch the race to Hockenheim. "It is the case that we are, of course, in constant contact but it has never led to negotiations on a Formula One event in Hockenheim in 2013," Gummer told DPA. "Before a grand prix in Germany goes we would in any case be prepared to talk, but priority has in any case Nuerburgring," he added. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8248053/Concern-growing-over-German-GP

According to reports in the British press, Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore is leading the line to replace Bernie Ecclestone. At 82 and facing the possibility of a handsome fine and perhaps prosecution for his role in the Gerhard Gribkowsky saga, the F1 supremo may leave his post as president and CEO of Formula One Management and Formula One Administration sooner rather than later. Should the Briton decide to do so, Scudamore has been touted as a possible replacement with the Daily Mail stating that: "CVC say they are not yet looking for a replacement for Ecclestone but have drawn up a list of those they would approach if Ecclestone is forced to stand down or decided to do so - and Scudamore is said to be one of them. "Scudamore's stock in the sports industry is high with the Premier League on course to collect £5billion from their global television rights." However, the paper went on to add that it would take an exceptional offer to pry him away from the Premier League. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8247052/Scudamore-to-replace-Bernie- daily mail = bullshit?

Timo Glock reckons Marussia owe Michael Schumacher a big thank you if they beat Caterham to tenth place in this year's Constructors' Championship. Marussia leapfrogged Caterham in the teams' standings when Glock brought his car home in 12th place in the Singapore GP, potentially earning his team millions and help with travel costs. However, that position seemed to be on the verge of slipping out of Marussia's grasp when, last time out in Abu Dhabi, Heikki Kovalainen was lapping in 12th place in his Caterham with Glock trying but failing to catch up to him. "I immediately let Michael Schumacher past and hoped that he would crush the Caterham," Glock told Auto Motor und Sport. "When he was passing Heikki we could breathe again. Michael saved us." The race finished with Kovalainen 13th and Glock 14th. Marussia team boss John Booth admitted: "Those of us on the pit wall have pretty chewed nails." http://www.planetf1....macher-saved-us ^ Former Caterham CEO Cyril Abiteboul has been promoted to team principal with immediate effect after Tony Fernandes stepped down. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/8235153/Abiteboul-is-new-Caterham-team-boss
