Lewis - Wow.

It’s hot

I managed to recover my passwords simply by renaming a file storing profile information.

It’s hot. Why must exams always take place around weather that both encourages you to go outdoors and not revise, and makes it hard to concentrate?

Formula1 look to change safety car rules which were obviously flawed, but only after Hamilton runs the red light.

Who says formula 1 is boring?

Lewis Hamilton won in Monaco, however the top 7 drivers were from 7 different teams.

9/10

A few things…

  • Super Aguri went bust - is this the last we will see of Anthony Davidson
  • Watford Observer reports on pupils grilling politicians
    “I think these pupils were right to grill these politicians - they should all be grilled and preferably served up with barbecue sauce.”
  • I was contacted by a game cheats website ( http://cheatbuzz.com/blog/ ) who wanted to do a link exchange with GameMaker Blog, although I think I will decline since their traffic rank is far worse than mine.

Not so Super Aguri

F1fanatic has reported that the Super Aguri Formula 1 team could be on its last legs, with the team reportedly being barred from the Turkish circuit despite the confidence expressed by the team principle when interviewed by Martin Brundle at the Barcelona Grand Prix.

If this is the case F1 would be down to just 20 cars. Ideally I would like to see more teams competition, not else, but since I started watching Formula 1 about five years ago the number of teams has fallen from 12. Whilst Super Aguri or the other back markers appear to achieve little they have the potential to give young drivers a chance to prove themselves before they inevitably get snatched by the bigger and faster teams, a bit like football….

You could blame the money, but formula 1 without money would be - walking.

Bad racing crashes

A couple of videos of some spectacular crashes in GP2 and F1 were posted on F1fanatic today in an article about the importance of safety cars.

The unluckiest man in Formula 1, Mark Webber, looses pretty much the whole of the front of his car in the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix creating an unavoidable obstacle for Fernando Alonso which leads to the abandoning of the race.
