Ferrari 599xx At Valencia

How bad ass does this Ferrari look on the track and especially with Massa behind the wheel! F1 only a month away!

Dont Speed In A F1 Car In India

You can't blame an F1 driver from driving fast. That's what they're supposed to do. Evidently authorities in India feel differently, however, as they've slapped David Coulthard with an enormous £20,000 (approx $33k) ticket for breaking the speed limit. The kicker? It was for a Formula 1 demonstration on a closed-off section of roadway.

The winner of thirteen grands prix (and one of the top points scorers of all time) retired from active racing at the end of last season, but remains a consultant and test driver for the Red Bull Racing team which he helped form. The team recently held a demonstration run in Mumbai, India, drawing a crowd of some 50,000 racing fans.

Part of the route took Coulthard across the Rajiv Ghandi Sea Link. The bridge has a maximum speed limit of 62 miles per hour, and even drops to 31 MPH in some parts. DC, however, was clocked at 162 MPH. As a result, the local authorities are reportedly withholding the £20,000 deposit which the team put down for the event, making for one mammoth speeding ticket. But at least Coulthard isn't stuck paying out of pocket.

Congrats Jenson!

Jenson Button is your 2009 Formula One Champion!

Puma Builds Ferrari F1 Car Out Of Clothes

Wow

Correction Schumi Not To Return

That sucks apparently he sustained a injury earlier this year thanks to a motorcycle incident and is unable to return to F1 to replace Massa for the remainder of the season.

Felipe Massa Is Out Of The Hospital

Yay he gives a great interview over at GPupdate.net

Schumi's Back!

Michael Schumacher and Ferrari have announced that he will take over for the injured Felipe Massa for the remainder of the season. How awesome is that!

Get Well Soon Felipe Massa!

Sad turn of events in Hungary this week when a projectile hits Felipe Massa's head while he was going an estimated 150mph+. He appears to be knocked unconscious and drills the tire barrier. It turns out his skull was fractured and is currently in a induced coma in stable condition. If you want (and are a sick fuck) there are pictures of his head after the accident where it basically looks like he was shot in the head. Hopefully he can get well soon as he is by far my favorite driver. Lewis Hamilton won the race...

F1 Teams To Stop Using Kers In 2010

KERS is a great invention but it is not perfect and very dangerous. I was shocked when I saw Kimi do acrobat moves to get out of the car without touching it or else he would be electrocuted and probably killed.

If you dont know what KERS is...it is a Kinetic Energy system that takes energy from braking and stores it for a boost in horsepower (it is much more complicated than that but yeah you get it).

Also I havent been doing F1 reviews because Ive been watching most races on replay. Button is killing it

F1 Bahrain

Thanks to everyone who was wondering where my preview/review was. Glad you are enjoying them. I didnt see the race live...well I sorta did but fell asleep in the middle of it. Caught it later thanks to the internets and really not really much to say. Kind of a boring race, the one thing I thought was interesting; being a Ferrari fan, was that Luca Di Montezemolo showed up to "inspire" Ferrari in this race instead of waiting til Spain when all the teams are supposed to catch up to the others with their diffusers and such. Kimi finished 6th so I suppose it worked eh? Button came through again and took the race for Brawn. Id have to say that it was the finest race Button has driven in his career. He was practically perfect throughout. Felt a bit bad for Trulli and Toyota as he wanted to win for Italy (earthquake) and Toyota (first win ever in F1) but I think he is going to win a race sometime this season so cheer up Jarno. Also Vettel is a fucking beast and probably getting fit for either Massa or Kovalainen's seat for next year. Another fantastic race from the German.

Shockingly it seems that the best cars are Brawn (obviously), Red Bull and Toyota. Everyone else is way behind, almost to the point of non-competitiveness if that is a word. I think the rule changes have made F1 outstanding this year and I only hope that the teams catch up with their diffusers and such before the next GP. That way almost every team will be able to win a race due to their strategy and such. Well maybe not you Force India.

Watch out for later today when the McLaren liegate comes to a end. Probably a heavy fine but the slim chance of exclusion from the Championship remains. As much as I hate McLaren that would be just ridiculous. So what they lied get over it. Besides that you should see Virgin up its stake in sponsoring Brawn GP. Speaking of Virgin apparently Rubens bought a ticket to go to space on their Virgin Galatic thing and Niki Lauda is training to be a astronaut to fly one of the shuttles. WTF indeed.

Spain is in 2 weeks as the European races begin!

F1 China Review

Well I was close on my predictions. Red Bull pulled off the 1-2 pretty much dominating the race. Button got close to Webber but the red bull car was faster than anyone else and would've really pulled away if the race wasnt boggled down in rain. I was kinda disappointed with the race beginning under the safety car but the entire track was a puddle at the start. Once the race started up there were some good crashes. I particularly liked Kubica going on top of Trulli in which the US commentators likened it to grasshoppers fucking. Seriously.

Another race and still no points for my favorite team Ferrari. Its ok though maybe its Asia so when they return to Europe on May 10 they just have to finish 1-2 in all the European races to technically win.

Bahrain GP is next week cant wait to see the 777/747s do a fly over.

F1 China Preview

In what has become an almost iconic circuit due to its main straight building, China will host its 5th Formula one race Sunday. As the drama from McLaren and diffuser controversies continues it still doesnt take away from what is probably the most entertaining and exciting start to a F1 season in my lifetime. After another stunning qualifying session we are sure to see yet another "must see" race. Red Bull dominate the qually session getting pole position with Vettel and 3rd with Weber. Renault's saving grace Alonso is on second. Brawn GP continue to amaze with 4th and 5th. Where is Kimi and Lewis?! 8th and 9th and Heikki and Massa are in 12th and 13th. Just a amazing change of the guard going on in F1 at the moment.

As for the race I think that one of the Red Bulls will win. I really like Vettel and I think he has a amazing future in F1 but please if there is a god let Mark Webber get his first F1 victory. He has been one of my favorite racers since he made his debut and is always a good listen to when he is giving interviews. Never holds back and never does that whole politically correct shit. So Ill go with Webber 1, Button 2, and Trulli 3. One thing to watch today will be Kubica and Glock coming from the back. They dont have much of a chance to win if any but watching them move up the field will be exciting!

WTF Is Going On At McLaren

It comes out today that longtime head of McLaren Ron Dennis is now stepping down. You probably know Ron from being a sulky twat on every F1 race for the past 20-30 years. This comes after they have had a terrible start. Made Lewis Hamilton lie to stewards creating more problems for them. Had to fire someone off of that and try to coddle Lewis back into liking him after internationally embarrassing him. What a soap opera that team is.

Lewis Hamilton and McLaren Breakup?

Is Lewis Hamilton really on his way out at McLaren? The Daily Mail think it's a definite possibility. It seems the reigning World Champion still has some issues with his team after the so-called "Liargate" scandal robbed him of his hard-fought third-place finish in the season opener at Melbourne. We explained that scandal in our earlier post about the race, but briefly, Hamilton was allegedly told how to answer post-race questions about a safety-car passing incident by McLaren sporting director Dave Ryan. The team was found guilty of deliberately misleading the race stewards. Ryan was subsequently suspended and Lewis had all of his points taken away after offering an emotional public apology.

Normally, that would be that, but after another disappointing race in Malaysia, it seems Lewis and his manager/father Anthony are asking McLaren for a meeting. Speculation is that Hamilton may be asking for an early release from his contract -- if not immediately, than possibly at the end of the season. The Hamiltons are apparently concerned that the champion's personal reputation has been sullied as a result of the team's recent scandals. Anthony maintains that Lewis was merely following team orders, defying his own moral code in taking Ryan's advice. He adds that contractual obligations prevented Lewis from offering the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth when interviewed by the stewards. The fact that McLaren still faces further sanctions from the incident (including the possible suspension of team boss Martin Whitmarsh) could mean that Hamilton has more leverage in his negotiations.

If Hamilton does get out of his five-year contract, one scenario has him going to Ferrari, who is struggling even more than McLaren this season. We'd wager on Brawn GP making a bid, along with just about every other team as well. Whatever the outcome, we'll keep you posted.

F1 Malaysia GP Mini Review

I have a feeling that this year will be full of classic races. This race definitely didn't disappoint for the most part. Jenson Button got his second win of the season and Ferrari and McLaren both continued to struggle. The race was ended early however as a gigantic tropical storm wanted to come through leaving the track looking like New Orleans during Katrina. The rain didnt stop and the late start (to accommodate European audience) meant it would be too dark to restart the race. So everyone got half points. However the closeness of each position (again in a race) left you wanting more. Lots of drama and was just a overall fun race to watch. Looking forward to China in 2 weeks.

Montreal GP To Return This Year?

Reports are saying that the Montreal mayor is in talks with Bernie Eccelstone in order to bring back just one of the North American Grand Prixs. I love the Montreal race so I really hope it comes back. I definitely can do without Indy; Montreal kicks the US Grand Prix's ass.

Aussie Gp Mini Review

My review is stop reading my blog and download this shit on torrent. One of the best opening races in a long time. A competitive race to the end with lots of crashes take overs and just overall excitement. Brawn GP proved they are no joke by finishing 1-2 including Rubens Barrichello using his car as a bumper car and still coming back to finish second. Powerhouses Ferrari were no where to be found on the day and McLaren has Hamilton only finish in 3rd after several after the race penalties. Despite the race ending with safety car it was still spectacular. A driver tried to finish the race on 3 wheels....come on you gotta watch just for that shit!

Next up is this weekend in Malaysia where its hotter than hell and the drivers lose weight in the car.....

F1 Starts Tonight/Today

Yes its that time of year again. The Aussie GP and the Formula One season for 2009 begins tonight. Very excited. Early days but Brawn GP looks like a force getting the 1-2 grid positions.

An exciting end and Im still bitter to the 2008 season saw Lewis Hamilton win his first drivers championship with Ferrari winning the constructors. I think it is Ferrari's year for the Drivers (Forza Massa!)and Ill go with BMW (Kubica aka mr. consistent) to get the constructors.


Side note : How can you not like Aussie women. Please all Aussie women hit me up I love your accents and your sexiness wow that sounded desperate.
