GOSSIP (21/05): Ferrari could be set for a total about-turn by offering Felipe Massa a new contract past the end of this season. Rumours had suggested the Brazilian was set to be replaced before the end of 2012, but Ferrari bosses insist he could stay in the red of Maranello past next season.

GOSSIP (15/05): Another driver under threat on the grid is Bruno Senna, who has been completely outclassed by Pastor Maldonado at Williams.

VIDEO (10/05): Ferrari have been forced to apologise for a stunt in China, which has damaged the 600-year-old city wall of Nanjing. A dealership of the famous manufacturer paid $12,000 to perform moves on the top of the monument, leaving tyre marks in its wake.
GOSSIP (09/05): Mercedes shareholders will vote at the end of the season over whether the team will continue in Formula 1 next year.

GOSSIP (12/04): Fresh doubts have been raised about the return of the United States Grand Prix to the calendar in Austin, Texas, this November. Rows have dragged on over the building of the new circuit and it now appears that a cash-flow problem has caused work to be stopped once more.
GOSSIP (06/04): Ferrari are in the process of overhauling their car despite winning the Chinese Grand Prix. The new car will be launched in time for next month's test at Mugello and has been dubbed the 'Ferrauber' as it's so similar to the C31 of the Sauber, which has been one of the surprise cars of the season.
GOSSIP (06/04): There are rumours that Rubens Barrichello might make a return to Ferrari in place of Felipe Massa at some point this season. Massa is under mounting pressure at the team and all manner of drivers have already been linked with his race seat.

GOSSIP (02/04): Formula 1 has never been particularly renowned for its green credentials but the sport is increasingly cleaning up its act and plans are afoot to restrict teams to the amount of fuel they can use in a season. The aim is to make teams more energy efficient and the proposals are scheduled for the 2015 season.

Would someone please explain to me that when Vettel is six seconds in the lead, slows down, enters the pit lane, changes tyres, all of which takes 22 or 23 seconds, he then rejoins the track in the lead ?
