Kobayashi Eyes Lifeline At Lotus: Kamui Kobayashi hasn’t booked his flight back to his father's sushi restaurant just yet. The Japanese rookie, who impressed during Toyota's last two Grands Prix, has said he will need to return to Japan if he doesn't stay in F1 in 2010 because he has "no budget" for GP2. "Obviously, my place at Toyota is lost," the 23-year-old is quoted as saying by the French press. "I was close to signing a contract for 2010, but there are four new teams and still options," Kobayashi added. "If I could choose a team I would choose Lotus." He also revealed that, in the wake of Toyota's announcement, the carmaker has offered to assist both him and Kazuki Nakajima find alternate employment for 2010.

Silverstone Deadline Set To Pass Without Deal: The 48-hour deadline issued by Bernie Ecclestone is likely to pass without a deal for a 2010 British Grand Prix in place. It was reported earlier this week that the F1 chief executive was giving Silverstone bosses a "day or two" to sign his contract before the British race is pulled from next year's calendar. The Times reports that the Northamptonshire track's management was "surprised" by the ultimatum, which is now set to end. "Their puzzlement is such because they say Silverstone is waiting for
Ecclestone to respond to amendments to the contract, not the other way round," the London based newspaper said.

Todt Has Taken 'Charm Lessons' – Williams: Sir Frank Williams says he is not worried that Jean Todt will revert to his "hard" ways in his new role as FIA president. Williams, 67, is Todt's former rival and knows the Frenchman best from his 14 years in charge of Ferrari. "His methods weren't methods that we would use," he said in an interview with Arabian Business. "He was then a difficult character," Williams added. "Very hard to get on with." But Williams believes Todt, 63, has had to adopt a difference approach now that he is in charge of the sport's governing body. "I met him recently (and) I think he has taken some charm lessons," he said, smiling. Williams, meanwhile, described Todt's predecessor Max Mosley as "seriously unfairly clever" and "almost impossible to beat in any argument".

To Be Father Next Week: Felipe Massa, having survived a horror qualifying crash in July, is set to imminently enjoy the pleasures of parenthood. "Next week I become a father," the Ferrari driver is quoted as saying by Auto Motor und Sport. Brazilian Massa and his wife Rafaela are having a boy, and he will be named Felipe.
