JJ just has a bad record of being involved with people's deaths
Even though the boat one is more or less directly his fault  |

Amazing viceo I've just seen on Autosports website of a 2008 BMW Sauber cut down the middle, showing you all the internals (though not focusing on the engine and gearbox, presumably since they are still in use and it might give away a few secrets).

Just realised that the IRL are racing at Texas this weekend, its the first time they've been back to a 1.5 mile oval since Dan Weldon's horrific crash last October. Lets hope the new cars have broken up the pack racing.

Oh damn. Thanks for the heads up. I'll try and watch it. And hopefully so. Texas is damn fast, can be quite chaotic if something goes amiss. Also, go Rubens!

And here's the second session times. Hamilton's always been damn quick around this track, I wouldnt be surprised if he did notch up his first win of the year here.

^I'm not entirely sure KoS, but I get the feeling you're a Mark Webber fan.
 Will be interesting to see how Button does, he's on a different strategy to everyone else. Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso and Webber make up the top 4, thats pretty much the current in form guys. |

Congrats to Justin Wilson on his first oval win, and for Dale Coyne of all teams. One of the best drivers out there, shame he's been overlooked by the top teams.

I think a Hamilton win is unlikely now. Maybe a podium though.

Well...missed all the races cause I a silly bitch but congrats to Hamy, Wilson, and Lagano.
The bits of the F1 race I did see seemed like a pretty good race.

Excellent win from Hamilton, and great racing from Grosjean and Perez to join him on the podium.
I'm very worried about Button now, the year started out well for him but thats 3 races in a row now where he's been miles off Hamilton's pace and eating through the tyres, potentially a problem with his chassis I'd reckon but it's put him out of title contention now. |

7 in 7!
Brilliant race from Hami...thought for sure they shanked a win but he pulled it out with pure drive. Poor Alonso, the gamble to not pit again bit him...he could do literally nothing to hold anyone off at the end. Awesome to see Grosjean and Perez on the podium! Vettel went a mother of a tear after that late pit, and Schumi's sh*t luck continues : ( |

What I found interesting about Grosjean and Perez was that for both of them it was their first proper visit to the track, so very good results from them. Valencia next, lets hope that with these tyres we may finally get an interesting race their.
More importantly, next week is Le Mans, Audi vs Toyota shoud be good. |
