With the summer break now underway in both Formula 1 and MotoGP i missed a few low down's in both series.

German GP - Sachsenring:

US GP - Laguna Seca:

News Update:

Since Casey Stoner's announcement that he'll be retiring at the end of the season speculation as to who'll take his place and where other drivers will be staying or going has been all the talk. 

Well, a few weeks ago the MotoGP Rookie rule was dropped and within days it was confirmed that Moto2 rider Marc Marquez will be taking over Stoner's ride, with teammate Dani Pedrosa staying on at the team too. 

With the rumour mill already going crazy over where exactly Mr.Rossi will be next season, it went in to  over-drive when Nicky Hayden announced he'd signed another contract with Ducati next season, a long with that early last week Yamaha rider Ben Spies took to his Twitter to really ramp up the rumours by telling fans he will not be staying at the team next year, it's in doubt as to whether he'll be staying in MotoGP - where he has had a far from great 2012 season - and moving back to Superbikes. 

As of yet, no 2nd rider at Yamaha has been confirmed so the waiting game commences as to what Valentino will be doing next season.

Is it really a smart move for him to go back to a team that is now dominated by Jorge Lorenzo?! 

Next Up:

The next race is at the Brickyard - Indianapolis in just over two weeks time before it heads back to Europe and the fly away's to wrap up the 2012 season.
