Air India Pilots, Crew Scuffle Leaving Cockpit Unmanned – If I hadn't travelled on Air India I would have dismissed this. But I HAVE travelled on Air India, and I CAN believe this. Unless you've travelled to places like this, it's impossible to believe the accounts people give you when they return. Mind you, when [...]

1 point forward, 1 point back

October 4, 2009

Jenson lost a point to Rubens at Suzuka today, but drove the better race. Just as he did last week in Singapore, Jenson started behind his team mate – this time 4 places behind rather than 2. Last week he made up 3 places on Rubens to finish one place ahead of him.  This week [...]

Nice One, Jenson!

September 28, 2009

After Monza, and barring completely unforseen circumstances (which you can never rule out), Jenson’s job was to make sure he didn’t lose more than 2 points a race to his team mate. That would have brought him the Driver’s Championship with a 6 point margin. Last night in Singapore he came from behind to beat [...]

Book Review: Windows 7 Secrets. An absolutely hilarious review of this new book on Windows 7. This is a hilarious review, and one with which I instinctively totally empathise. I've long disliked Microsoft's attempts at upgrading any of their products. I loathe Office 2007 with a vengeance. Why completely re-design something that was perfectly good [...]

September 24, 2009

Or Morals? Briatore was quite happy to send out a driver to put himself in harm’s way by crashing an F1 car during a race.  Worse, [...]

Crash-Gate: F1 Self Destructing

September 17, 2009

Of course, F1 won’t self destruct – but it has made an incredibly valiant effort to do so this year. When the crashgate stories first appeared I dismissed them as journalistic mischief. After all, who in their right mind deliberately crashes an F1 car during a race? However, it seems that not only was Nelson [...]

Fisi Moves to Ferrari

September 4, 2009

So after all the on-again, off-again it’s finally official:  Fisi will move to Ferrari. Not just for the final 5 races of this season but as test/reserve driver for 2010. I’m happy for Fisi – he’s always come across as a great guy. But I feel for Badoer.  He should never have been put in [...]
