    ah.

    In other not so current F1 related news, I met Mark Blundell this week.

    Genuinely nice bloke. A shame it was business related as could only have brief chats about motorsport etc (had to get some chat in about it!) but really happy that he is the down to earth guy you saw as a racing driver and on the TV. Hopefully not our last encounter, next time I'll ask him to sign the model of his McLaren I have! :)

    Sauber are to hire a mediocre female driver who was easily beaten by male drivers deemed not good enough for F1, how about some sexual equality for a change?

    FOTA has been toothless for a while now. The teams couldn't unite and agree on the color of a turd... Especially when you have Bernie offering the big teams massive cash incentives to maintain the status quo.

    The breakaway should have happened when the opportunity presented itself a few years back. We'd probably have a much better series than we have right now.

    Pardon the rant... I'm just sick of the grip that little cretin has on the sport.

    I'm laughing about the very start of a collision at the back. (Oh **** moment).

    Bit weird how the Petronas logo on the Sauber is the same it is today.

    Would it really have been hard for them to make a version of the video available on mobile?

    No is the answer to that. *grumbles* Can't be bothered getting up and starting my laptop. :p

    Hey guys. I've been eyeing up tickets for the British GP and wondered if anyone could help out with a few questions?

    - Has anyone camped there? If so how "lively" is the "lively camp site" in comparison with the "family camp site"?

    - Is worth even bothering trying to drive into the complex in the mornings or is it easier to camp?

    - Any other particular pearls of wisdom that anyone would like to pass on?

    Cheers
