Mclaren one two !

2010-04-19T12:48:44+00:00

Excellent McLaren first and second placing in China - just shows that the UK wet weather can have its advantages as our boys outshone the rest and Button now leading the Championship as well .

Well done Woking boys !

Fish-tail exhausts.

2010-05-08T19:43:14+00:00

OK all, why do many Brooklands cars and motorcycles have fish-tail exhausts? Most of the bikes in the Campbell have, the Napier-Railton has…..

A visitor asked me this today and, I ashamed to say, I didn’t know.

If anyone can tell me, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,

Schumacker / Rosberg - Mercedes

Well what do we think ?

Driving for Mercedes/Brawn with NIco Rosberg - we’ll have a plethora of F1 stars visiting next door in 2010 I suspect.

Mind you I raced against Rosberg on the Silverstone circuit myself last year ..........albeit in miniature on a Scalextric track !

He beat me but my colleague pipped him at the post and he didn’t like coming second !

Number 1 Button !

Congratulations to Jenson Button for coming 5th in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix rising 9 places from his grid start.

Bigger congratulations for becoming F1 WORLD CHAMPION !!!!!

Also to Brawn GP for taking the manufacturers championship in their first year of racing - it even made Ross himself emotional on the BBC.

Brazil was also a great race itself with lots of incident and some brilliant overtaking by Jenson and also Hamilton who rose 14 places from 17th on the Grid to stand on the podium in 3rd position .

Renault Race Fixing - what next for F1 ?

2009-09-16T15:31:35+00:00

Well who’d have believed it ? Looks like Renault are guilty of race fixing and willing to risk human life to do so. With the news that Briatori and Symonds have both quit the team it seems to add wieght to Piquet’s claim that he was ordered to crash into a wall to allow Alonso the win at SIngapore.

The question is why on earth would Piquet risk his own life in this, I know Briatore is probably difficult to say no to but he is risking injury and possibly death to himself and others in this manic act.

It’s another dark day in what has become a very bad year for F1
