Maria De Villota: F1 reserve driver died of 'natural causes' in Spain

"I can confirm that her death was due to natural causes. The family has been informed," Dr Joaquin Lucena Romero, head of forensic services at the Institute for Legal Medicine, said.

one for roy.

Heikki Kovalainen says he's ready to return to Formula One after once again showing Caterham what he's got in a Friday practice.

The Finnish driver was in action for the team at the Suzuka circuit on Friday morning and covered 22 laps with a best time of 1:37.595.

His time put him half a second up on race driver Giedo van der Garde.

Kovalainen, though, has yet to learn whether he'll be back on the grid next season and is not willing to speculate about his chances.

"The negotiations are going well," the Finn told the BBC.

"Caterham know what they get from me. They just need to decide what they want to do.

"I feel like I'm up for it and ready to go for next year."

But, he added, "it's difficult to speculate whether or not I have a chance."

Oh go away already Heikki. Nice guy but poor in a Renault. Poor in a McLaren. And Petrov matched-beat him...now he runs round "I was a McLaren driver and dumped but too good to pay for a drive." He would be lucky to get a seat even if he paid.

I like Caterham and would rather see them throw their weight behind talented youngsters in the hope that a tp team would place them with funding. McLaren?

Dammit I missed the F1 Quali as I was watching the V8's.

Is there any site online that I can watch it on now as there is no repeat of it later tonight on Ten or One?

Chances of the Chin launching correctly today and then keeping the finger behind him? I'm guessing low... would be nice to be wrong.

^Starting from the clean part of the track for once, will hopefully give him the edge. As we as his lower downforce rear wing, to help pass Vettel back if he stuffs it. Missed quali yesterday due to watching Rush. Just watched in now. Come on Aussie Grit.

Does the 7Kegs extra that webs has with the older chassis make much of a difference?

chances are that Seb will have further kers issues in the race since cars cant be touched now? yet his laptime without it is pretty impressive still.
