NASCAR is loosing his second major telecommunication partner in two years with Verizon’s departure to the IndyCar series.

The company will shirft its $12-$17M sponsorship to the Penske Racing’s No. 12 team of Will Power, in the popular openwheel series.

This departure is, in a way, a tribute to NASCAR’s impressive protection of it’s title partner, Sprint, interests. 

“This is another leading indicator that everyone needs to stay focused and find better return for sponsors because at the end of the day, if there were enough return, [Verizon] would be here in spades,” said Dan Richlen, VP of Wunderman.

If NASCAR has proven happy to let the sponsors share the spotlights, it has also proven extremely protective of its title partners, the Nationwide insurance Group and Sprint telecommuncation company. 

“That’s the model we’ve had for a long time, and it’s a successful model,” NASCAR chief marketer Steve Phelps said. “That’s a sacrifice we understand we need to make, and one that allows us to fund the sport.”

“There were a lot of limitations that made it apparent business could be driven more effectively elsewhere,” summed up Jon Flack, president and COO of Just Marketing International, the marketing agency that worked with Verizon in NASCAR.

Stefano Domenicali has welcomed the FIA’s abolition of the rule prohibiting team orders.

The governing body, now headed by president Jean Todt, revisited the controversial rule after Ferrari’s place-swapping during this year’s German grand prix at Hockenheim.

The Maranello based team never admitted to ordering Felipe Massa to move aside for Fernando Alonso, but at the same time has always maintained that F1 is a team sport in which team strategies are commonplace.

“Finally, we have said goodbye to this pointless hypocrisy,” said team boss Domenicali after Friday’s announcement that article 39.1 has been “deleted” for 2011.

“For us, formula one is a team sport and we have always maintained that viewpoint and it should be treated as such,” he told reporters at the Bologna motor show.

A date has been set for Sir Richard Branson’s day as a skirt-wearing AirAsia stewardess, after losing a bet with Fernandes this year.

Fernandes and Branson had taken a bet at the beginning of the season that the owner of the best new team would be hosted by his rival in a flight of his company – AirAsia for Fernandes, Virgin for Branson – comes the end of the season.

Branson therefore left Abu Dhabi with an AirAsia stewardess uniform in his luggage since it was Lotus who ultimately did better than Virgin in 2010.

The details of the flight were still to be confirmed and it has now been done. Branson will have to “serve and clean” as any stewardess would do during this long flight. 

“It’s confirmed February 21, 2011,” Fernandes wrote on Twitter, revealing the flight will travel from London to Kuala Lumpur.

Branson, smiling, had declared after Abu Dhabi’s race: “The only positive thing is we own 20 per cent of his company so I’ll be able to get some promotion for a company I have a stake in!”

Paul di Resta is expected to sit down with Force India this week to discuss his role with the team for 2011.

The new DTM champion served as the Silverstone based outfit’s reserve and Friday driver in 2010, and is a contender for a race seat next year.

But also in the running is ousted Williams rookie Nico Hulkenberg, while Adrian Sutil is expected to be retained and Vitantonio Liuzzi has a firm contract for 2011.

Scot di Resta’s manager Anthony Hamilton is confident: “There hasn’t been one bit of negative information from the team about Paul.

“He has done a great job, the team love him,” Hamilton, father of McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, told the BBC. “He’s a champion and a leader.

“Nothing has changed; he is still a contender for a race seat. We are very positive,” he added.

It is believed Sutil will have one seat in 2011, while the other will be occupied by either di Resta or German Hulkenberg after Liuzzi’s contract is bought out.

Lagorce not only dominated his rivals in the qualifying rounds, but also in his final heat. Lagorce took the overall victory on day 2 ahead of Jean-Luc Pailler (BMW Serie 1) and Alain Prost (Dacia Duster).

Prost nevertheless took back the lead of the championship after  briefly loosing it in Day 1 winner Jean-Philippe Dayraut (BMW). Dayraut could not secure better than a ninth 9th position on day 2 and therefore dropped back to 2nd place in the championship standinga.

It was expected and it happened: Scott Speed officially filed a lawsuit against NASCAR team Red Bull who released him from his contract last month.

The American driver is claiming that the team breach his contract and will go in court to defend his rights. 

The lawsuit was filed with the North Carolina Superior Court and is likely to take several months before hearing.

Red Bull had initially picked up their option on Speed earlier this year, but than claimed there were performances clauses that  Speed had to meet in order to keep his ride.

Speed personnaly claims he has signed a contract for 2011, contract Red Bull has breached.

Malaysian driver Fairuz Fauzy, who was seen on many occasions in and around the Lotus Racing Team in 2010, has been released from his five-year Formula 1 contract prematurely.

Although this new ends any rumour of a permanent ride for the driver in 2011, it does not end the Formula 1 career of the 28-year-old. 

A statement mentioned other opportunities for him to combine another year of test-driving in F1 with a full programme in another championship.
