Vettel wins Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Hamilton forced to retire | France 24
Germany's Sebastian Vettel won the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after outgoing world champion Lewis Hamilton was forced to retire from the race for safety reasons.

(For me man of the race was Japanese rookie Kobayashi -- only 6th in the end, but no respect for anyone when overtaking.)

Bridgestone to axe F1 tyre supply contract

TOKYO, Nov 2 - Bridgestone will not renew its tyre supply contract for Formula One after the current deal expires at the end of the 2010 season, the Japanese manufacturer said on Monday.

The sole supplier of tyres to the series since 2007, Bridgestone will continue its interest in Formula One next season but wanted to concentrate on new technology and products after that.

So there is nobody to supply tires in 2011...

"If you've got my feely-touchy" | Bloomberg | 2 Nov 2009

In June, [Philip] Green announced a possible television entertainment joint venture with his friend [Simon] Cowell. Green told students at London's Fashion Retail Academy on Oct. 15 that he planned to help Cowell transform the talent shows into global merchandising brands. Cowell could not be reached for comment.

Green says Topshop's U.S. outlet will be profitable in its first year thanks in part to his retailing flair.

"If you've got my feely-touchy, I think America's our sort of market," he says, rubbing his index finger and thumb together.
