There’s nothing like an emotional, twenty-five year old Brazilian racing driver fighting back the tears as he struggles with the reality of having won his first Formula 1 Grand Prix to bring a tear, or two or three, to my eyes. Actually in reality when Massa stood on the podium with that trembling bottom lip, […]

Two days until the Istanbul Grand Prix…Sela, why haven’t you finished your military service so I can come and stay and we can attend the Grand Prix live?
“Speed… I am speed.” Believe it Alonso and Fisico. I’m feeling good about Sunday’s race despite the ruling by the FIA on determining that the mass dampers […]

This link is to the house that I dream about owning. As it is not too horrifically expensive, (hey, it’s all relevant) perhaps one day I might actually be able to sit on the terazzo and look out on the Italian country garden with the little statue of Neptune and write my books. As my […]

Although I still grapple with America and its dichotomy of […]

This is a really nice review from Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix and echoes my feelings exactly about the race and how it played out. It was truly a much needed burst of refreshment in the staleness of the Formula 1 season.

Before I get in to the race I do have to do the patriotic bit and congratulate Jenson Button on a fantastic race. I was quite emotional when I heard the National Anthem and realized that it was a Brit standing up there in first place on the podium. What really made me smile though […]

I have an affliction.
Not a particularly bad one but definitely one that deserves some blog time. I have developed a habit of reading book reviews on the web, in newspapers, in magazines, people’s reccommendations and then I write the title, author and publisher on a sticky note and put it in my handbag or […]

Along with Renault’s last minute decision to remove the controversial mass dampers from the R26 and the knowledge that their Michelins would likely blister, (which they did), I’m not sure Renault had much of a chance on Sunday. Clearly neither Alonso nor Fisichella were mentally in the race despite some nice driving by both of […]
