Robert Kubica has taken his “un-official” leading man status at BMW to new heights by swapping roles with John Cusack for this weekends Hungarian Grand Prix.
Insiders believe Robert’s dalliance with the Say Anything actor has arisen from comments made by itv hack James Allen after the Canadian Grand Prix when Allen was overheard saying that Kubica was “no Brad Pitt!”
Cusack is considered to be an all-rounde; capable of singing, dancing, and acting at a professional level, but never outshining his female co-star and Robert believes the swap should hold no unforseen dramas। “I have flattered my team-mate Nick Heidfeld in the last two races this season, and he can’t even get through the garage without even knocking over the furniture!”

McLaren drop anvil on Newey
McLaren's bid to keep up the aggressive development of their MP4-23 continued on Tuesday when they ran an anvil wing engine cover for the first time at the Hockenheim test
The use of the engine cover follows the trend begun by designer Adrian Newey at Red Bull Racing and since copied by Renault and Force India. McLaren F1 CEO Martin Whitmarsh believes copying the design is providing excellent value for money.
“It’s ****ing awesome!” explained Whitmarsh. “Not only don’t we have to pay for the designs, but we’re getting money back off Adrian after that 11th hour deal in ’04 that really screwed our budget. If you’re reading this Adrian.. screw unto others as they screw unto you!”
Newey is reportedly consulting the ACME users guide for ‘Advanced Revenge Techniques’ before making any statement.

Webber takes a punt
On Friday, punters could place a bet on Heikki Kovolainen securing his F1 breakthrough at 23 to 1 - and Red Bull racer Webber fancied a piece of the action."I've put 200 quid on Heikki at 23 to 1, so I'm in good shape," he smiled in the Silverstone media centre. “Anyone else who wants a piece can come to me”.
Webber, who qualified second to the Finn was circumspect when quizzed if he was involved in ‘match fixing’.“Let’s just say I’ll be pitting on lap 3” he grinned.Pole sitter Kovalainen said he has not placed a similar bet. "I don't do betting. I try to earn my money in a safer way.. Pimping out whores!”

Button and Hamilton size up
In a lively press conference ahead of their home race, the McLaren and Honda drivers got involved in an entertaining exchange that resulted in Hamilton eventually accepting the challenge after regular cock-fight runner Button offered to give money to charity if he lost.
“What if I say £10,000 to the charity of your choice if you beat me? What do you think?” Jenson asked.
“Are you trying to steer me off this championship or what?” Lewis replied.
Button then countered: “It’s the only thing I can be competitive in at the moment. Think about it.”
Then asking further pressing on whether the event would take place by the assembled reporters, Hamilton eventually agreed: “The biggest incentive is, if I do beat you, then you’ve got some money for a charity which is great. However, you do have an advantage as you’ve already done one, and I already know that by doing one you’re better the next time. But man, I’m up for it, I’m up for it.
He then added: “OK, let’s do it. It’s a date.”
The third British driver in the press conference, David Coulthard had already ruled himself out of going up against his two younger compatriots, with the Scot, heading for retirement at the end of the season, saying at 37 he “was too old”.
He did however offer to be “chief arbiter at the weigh-in.
