I have been collecting stuff since my early schooldays, and whilst a lot of the early stuff went missing as a result of parental clear outs and another lot from a divorce I have kept on collecting over the years. Continue reading

When I first read about the DeltaWing it was in a magazine article and the proposition was that it could be the new IndyCar. Having read the article and checked the date on the Magazine; it was the April issue, I came to the conclusion that it was an April Fool spoof and left it at that. Continue reading

OK, so our tongue is firmly in cheek here, but if Bernie can put pressure on the Aussies to run their GP in the evening so that us European viewers can watch it at our normal GP viewing time why are the Canadian, and the US and Brazil for that matter, organisers not under pressure to start their races on 0800 EST?

OK, so the bearded one hasn’t set the world alight (even if his car has set itself on fire), but he has done a competant job driving the thing. He is an experienced development man and you would think that his experience could have been put to good use, although others have done that better and the Renault has been left behind after a promising start.
But duping him at this point doesn’t make sense. Grosjean has shown that he has what it takes after all and could have been brought back in later in the season, but Senna? What has he got other that a name that vaguely rings a bell?
Maybe this weekend will prove me wrong, but we’ll see. Meanwhile, fingers crossed for Robert Kubica and his recovery.

Reading on the Autosport website that MSC says expectations have not been met at Mercedes GP rather make Jensen Button’s decision to move to McLaren after his championship year seem positively inspired.
Since the move he has won three more GPs and been on the podium on a regular basis when the team he left behind have just settled as second division runners most of the while.
At the time it looked like a stupid move. Leaving the team that had won both titles to move in with his predecessor as World Champion in a team that had been built around that lad seemed an act of supreme folly they said. But JB is made of strong stuff and he has gone on the establish himself at McLaren. Yes, Lewis is quicker a lot of the time, but JB shows real guile come race day and on days like last Sunday in Canada he shows that he can really race and make good use of a car and conditions.
Going to McLaren was probably the best move he could have made at the time and to hear that he is in line for a contract extension is both good news and well deserved.
