apparently you never know when a comment from Bernie Ecclestone can be forthcoming and like the comments themselves, one might be confused. The latest backhanded compliment is that Jenson Button, fresh from signing a new 3-year-deal with now defunct Honda F1, should sit out the 2009 season in…

2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton has been made an MBE (Member of the British Empire) by the Queen.
The 23-year-old McLaren driver, who last month became the youngest ever Formula 1 title winner, and the first from Britain in twelve years, said he was “humbled” by the recognition in Her Majesty’s New Year Honours.
“It is the most amazing culmination to what has been quite a year for me and something I am very appreciative of,” he said.
The British Olympic cyclist Chris Hoy received a knighthood, and his mother Carol was given an MBE for her work as a nurse for sleep disorders.
Teenage swimmer Rebecca Adlington received an OBE (Officer of the British Empire), which is one category higher than MBE.
In total, 996 people were honoured.

Two-time world champion Mika Hakkinen has leapt to the defence of two of Formula 1’s leading figures.
The 40-year-old Finn, who retired as a McLaren race driver in 2001, said his countryman Kimi Raikkonen will bounce back to form after a lacklustre season with Ferrari this year.
“Kimi did not have a good year, but in 2009 he will attack again and win races,” Hakkinen told laola1.at.
“He knows what went wrong and will stop it from happening again.”
Hakkinen also backed the sport’s 78-year-old chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, following suggestions the time for the so-called ’supremo’ to step down may be nearing.
“In the past decades he was the one who moved Formula 1 forwards,” the winner of 20 Grands Prix insisted. “He is absolutely the right man for the job.”
Meanwhile, Hakkinen tipped 21-year-old Sebastian Vettel, the youngest ever race winner following his 2008 Monza victory, for a F1 title within a “few years”.
“Vettel has the right stuff,” he said. “He is still very young, but exceptionally fast, performing like an old hand. Certainly in the next few years he will take the title.”

This man had a good year driving newfangled tires with Nylon weave in them. It was the same year two future champions made their debut. What year, man and two future champions?
