Today is the 28th September 2009 and this is F1 Minute.

There is Massa news today, as Ferrari boss Stefano Domincali has said the Brazilian may return to karting as early as next week. There was already talk that he would be back behind the wheel, albeit a small one, in November, but Domenicali says: “He is working hard on training and next week he should go into the karting activity.”

Elsewhere, Bahrain are very happy with their opening slot on the 2010 calendar, with CEO of the circuit Martin Whitaker saying: “It’s a great honour to host the first race… Bahrain has earned the title “The Friendly Race” and we are looking forward to extending the traditional warm welcome to everyone in 2010.” Has anyone else heard it called the friendly race?

Anyway, to finish, Jean Todt garnered a lot of support for his presidency campaign over the weekend, but has angered South Africa by pondering whether the country care what is happening in F1.

That’s all for now, please join me tomorrow for another F1 Minute.
