Gone walkabout for couple of months, come back to find my avatar picture has done the same. Hopefully Alberto Colombo pic now lying on a beach somewhere.....

Maldonado was more than half a carslenght alongside Lewis, he had all the right to be there. Lewis should've given him room.[/quote] maldonado had all four wheels off track and was on the flat run off so had the room to back off. He will be lucky if he escapes a penalty. The rules are pretty clear a...

Just watched the so called F1 expert on Channel News Asia (Singapore) compare Maldonado with Alex Yoong, in that if Yoong had been able to access a more successful team he could have done what Maldonado had done. He did however fail to mention that Maldonado was a GP2 runner up against Yoong's Malay...

So that will be Paster Maldonado then..........a great shame for the Williams boys after 11.

Well putting aside the usual showboat runs we see every year.... the long stints seem to show that Red Bull and McLaren are pretty close at the head of the pack. Hard to tell where Merc and Ferrari are. And the midfield looks good racingly close. Anybody know whats happening with the Lotus/Renaults...

To me sports guys in F1 are forgettable Pirro, McNish, but most certainly Papis. I remember first seeing Papis driving a factory Cadillac in Speed World Challenge, finding out he was in F1, and thinking "Really? When? What Happened?" My thoughts exactly when I discovered Vic Elford and Gi...

I just thought, if the rules for 12 had included that all cars had to carry a 12'' imitation paper staple just before the front wheels.. they could re-name them formula centerfolds. After all, cars have looked like this in the racing mags for years...There you go... a little lateral thinking can cal...

If ever there was a year to listen to Grand Prix on the radio, then this is it. Still, anything to screw over Rupert Murdoch......

Just thought, a reject driver founder, a reject driver team manager.... the fates are stacking up! At least he has a more better pedigree than Christian Horner, who regulary failed to qualify for F3000 races in the mid 90's!!! Driving not the issue. Horner spent years running a successful lower for...

So what is Luis Perez Salas pedigree in team management? I cant say I know what he has been up to since his driving career ended. When I heard this my first thought was they should hire Pierluigi Martini for the team managers job as a kind of post modern ironic statement, and if they hired Paolo Bar...

Will be interesting to see just how Iberia-centric they plan to become. If the owners of the team are directing key staff selection based on nationality, rather than being the best for the job, (and there are some indicators that this is the case) might add a new dimension to the whole thing. Anyone...

If they come back it would be what? the 5th time F1 as seen a car called a Lola? But this would be the first time without Eric Broadly, (don't know what input he had into Haas tho) who as good as he was, never really seemed to understand what was needed to do F1, same as a number of guys who have tr...

What I meant to say was that if it was Italy or Belgium to beat the crap out of protesters, torture them and making some disappear, we would be so vocal in wanting their venues out of the F1 calendar. human suffering or a piece of tarmac....well I would like to think that would be a no brainer, but...

Just seen a piece of news in a Portuguese newspaper relating to Italian sources (it is in Portuguese, only posted the link because of the video) that Marco was treated in a rather shockingly way after crashing, by the track marshals. It's scenes that recall F1 assistance level of, say, 30 years ago...

I had the misfortune to see the accident live on Star sports, and had that familiar 'gut wrench' when you just know it is gonna be very very bad. This has been a very black week, and it feels like the old days.....
R.I.P Marco. MotoGP, and indeed the world, has lost a great great character.

Woke up to reports on CNN that Dan Wheldon has died from injuries sustained. R.I.P Dan, a great great driver

Anyone seen 'Mask of Dust', only found out about it recently but there were a number of cameos including Stirling Moss, Reg Parnell and others. Worst film has to be 'Driven'. But what do you expect from something written, produced and starring Sylvester Stallone? It's just awful, apart from being u...

Who the heck was Noberto Fontana? I don't think I've ever heard of him I have a model of one of his saubers.......Just throwing it out there He did get accused of deliberately blocking Jacques Villeneuve during the 1997 Euro GP at Jerez. (Driving for Sauber-Ferrari). Great F3 driver, ended up as de...

Colin McRae did 25 laps in a Jordan at Silverstone in 96. Was 2 seconds off Brundle. which might not sound so impressive.... but first time in a single seater.!...He was a win it or bin it kinda guy but could have been great fun to have watched in F1

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but Raul Bosel? Wasn't he an F1 driver circa 1983? Boesel? 82 and 83 with March and Ligier, good choice! The only thing I ever remembered him for was he always had a butterfly on his car. I guess it was related to a sponsor but.... Indeed! All I remember of hi...

Well, his full name is Ayrton Senna da Silva. In Iberian cultures (and those influenced by it), the surname of a person is a combination of both the mother's and the father's surname with the father's surname being the commonly used one when not using the full surname which was and is not done by Ay...
