Don't believe the statement from montezemelo that perez is not ready for a ferrari seat... In 2013 they will say now he is ready...

TNT1 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Marussia F1 Team Issued by the Marussia Formula One Team on behalf of the De Villota Family Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge - 5 July 2012, 20h00 “Maria remains in a critical but stable condition here at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. While there is no further news than that at present, we have at least been able to take encouragement from the fact that Maria has remained stable throughout since the accident, particularly during the first night following such a lengthy surgical procedure as she experienced yesterday. We, the family, are supporting each other here at Maria’s side and we take great comfort from the remarkable medical care she has been receiving. We remain positive and this is due, in no small part, to the overwhelming expression of love and support for Maria from every corner of the world. We would also wish to thank everyone at the Marussia F1 Team for all the care and attention they have shown us over the past few days. "With our sincere gratitude.” Isabel De Villota Representative of the De Villota Family & Maria’s Sister

'Dale Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 So, any commentary about yesterday's Silverstone race? Webber takes it. Vettel completes the podium. Good for Red Bulls.Ferrari does very well. Even Massa.Mclaren seems to be struggling with their speed.
Wayne Potgieter Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Was a good race, was hoping to see a bit of rain. Love watching the different tyre strategies when a bit of water comes down.
