Here are a few random links for your viewing pleasure that I came across while surfing the web this morning. As I heard on SportingNews radio, legitimate web surfing; in other words it is too early on Sunday morning to be looking for some T&A. After the affair ends … A reminder for married folks [...]
What a stupid idea by Bernie Ecclestone. Shortcuts in F1? Good grief! Ecclestone proposed the idea during a media event last week. “I’ve tried to push the teams with a number of proposals. Imagine a shortcut which a driver can use five times every race,” he said. “It would stop people from getting stuck behind [...]
I do not like the newly announced F1 point system, but of course no one asked for my input. According the racer.com the new system was announced because of the expanding grid for the 2010 campaign. A statement from today’s meeting of the World Council said: “Due to the expanded grid of 13 teams, and [...]
So Ross Brawn thinks F1 will continue onwards without a host of major manufacturers? Racer had the following quote from Mr. Brawn He added: “It’s a major sport and it (manufacturer involvement) will come round again. But luckily there is a lot of interest from privateers and they will sustain Formula 1 for a good [...]
I was disappointed to learn that Michael Schumacher’s return to Ferrari ended before it started. Earlier this year Schumacher injured his neck racing around on two-wheelers; apparently the injuries were enough to keep him from being fit enough to race. PlanetF1’s editorial hit the nail on the head. The shame is F1′s. Schumacher’s return, however [...]
I was looking for a good link to talk about Michael Schumacher’s return to Ferrari as Felipe Massa’s replacement and just could not find what I was really looking for in a story. Then I remembered my mate from across the Pond; a good bloke that contributed in the early days of CG. Adam’s recent [...]
It’s Sunday morning, so it must be time for some random ramblings, news, and notes. Prayers for Massa Each morning while I am enjoying my morning coffee I usually check out a number of sites including ESPN. Thanks to FOX [not really; that was said with venom] I do not get to see the Hungarian [...]
Another F1 race, another FOX tape delay. These things suck. It is bad enough that FOX will not play the race until later this afternoon, but WTF is wrong with SPEED TV? I love how SPEED TV offers its own replay at 1PM this Wednesday. Seriously, whoever signed a deal for me not to be [...]
Happy Father’s Day to all you dads out there, strolling through the virtual goodness of the internet. What better way to kick off Sunday morning than a cup of coffee, and a hefty portion of Sunday sports. U.S. vs. Egypt – Confederations Cup Team USA takes on Egypt this afternoon in Confederations Cup action. Forget [...]
OK, so now it is official. Next year there will be a US based F1 team. Team principal Ken Anderson confirmed the plans when speaking to AUTOSPORT in the Monaco paddock. When asked if his team had lodged its entry, he said: “Yes we have. It’s Team US F1.” The question that now begs to [...]
I guess I spoke too soon about UGA having any chance to win one for two from LSU. The Tigers quickly dispatched the Baseball Dawgs 16-0 (yes, not a mistake), and 3-2. I was trying to think of a way to make this sound respectable. Getting destroyed by the #3 team in the country, and [...]
There are several events that I look forward to each year, and two of them happen to occur today: The Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500. If you throw in the Coca Cola 600, you have one hell of a day of racing. Something like 9 hours of back-to-back racing fun. Throw some good [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, I am getting much too old to try to do the late night (early morning) F1 races, so I did not get to see Button take first earlier today. I also missed both Ferraris failing to finish the race. I guess I will also settle for recaps for the next couple [...]
Is it really time for the new F1 season to kick off in Australia tomorrow morning? Did Jenson Button really get the pole for the new Brawn/Honda/not sure what the team name actually is called? These days I am just a casual F1 observer, and I am much too old to try to do the [...]
Truth be told, when I started watching F1 in 1995 I fell in love with Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. Hill won the championship that year followed by Jacques in 1996. It looked like Villeneuve was set for even bigger things, but something went wrong on the way to paradise when he decided to help [...]
