Formula One rumours, news, views & awards

It’s been a while since I had an F1 post, but then the off season is never terribly interesting there is always some rumour or other, not a huge amount of news and the odd award. So here’s a quick round up.

First off the pre-season rumours of Silverstone’s demise from the calander are back, (did they ever go away?) this time in some sort of weird Grand prix swap with the French??? and shure lets fire in the threat of Donnington for good measure :)

David Richards is a busy man, what with running prodrive, Aston Martin’s racing program, getting his Formula 1 team on it’s feet and now, apperently, he’s trying to buy Aston Martin? hmmm here’s a thought Aston Martin F1 Vantage 2008. :D

Over in Ferrari land, well they are not missing Michael or both there drivers whould like us to believe. It’s only fair to wonder is the ould fella is maybe over staying his welcome but then who could blame him, it’s Ferrari for gods sake :P Still it must be nice to know the books are all good, they look good in testing and Massa is picking up the Bandini Trophy in recognition of his impressive performances for Ferrari last season. Well deserved if you ask me. It’s not all perfect though, their recent TV commercial shoot went a bit pear shaped in Australia, hopefully though it’ll be the only bad luck for ferrari down under in 2007. :D

Roll on March 18th :D

    Hey there, just found your blog (hate saying that, always what the say in spam comments). I used to be obsessed with F1… about 3 or 4 years ago. Got a subscription to the F1 Mag for a year… though lost interest by the end.
    I kinda miss it. I also miss Mika Hakkinen

    Hi Phil thanks for stopping by ;)

    I have to agree to some extent, the 2004 season, even for a schuey fan like myself, was pretty forgettable, but 2005 was good, although I did think at the time that schuey had Alonso if the car had been better.

    Then in 2006 he did have a car that could win and Alonso beat him fair and square so, I think it’s kinda fitting that he’s not racing this year even though it leaves big shoes for someone to step into, I think there are 2 or maybe 3 drivers that are going to dominate this year. But that’s an entire post on it’s own ;)

    In the meantime here’s hoping for a repeat of the excellent drama that unfolded over the 2006 season
