Other kinds of fuel? |
|
| |
 Max Mosley has a brand new idea. He doesn't think that there should only be one kind of fuel in the formula one. Why not race with diesel? The talk goes that he has some confersations with a German carbuilder...and that they sugested the diesel engine. It should be a V8 with turbo. The cars have a small fueltank (95 litres) so that they still have to stop for fuel!
Max Mosley is now very busy to make the new rules. His plan is to except these new engines in 2004! |

Yes...Donna Ferrari |
|
| |
 Yes, finally!! At WarmUp, the famous store in Maranello, they had the perfume Donna, for woman. It's the only female sentence of Ferrari. I searched and searched. But I couldn't get it anywhere. Even at a specialised shop here in Holland they didn't have it. Even stronger...they told me it didn't excist. Well...here's the proof. It does excist and it's a, according to my girlfriend, very nice, fresh sentence! So...only available, easily, at WarmUp!! (the delivery though was a bit of a problem...but that's because UPS gave the package to the owner of a bikeshop, where I live above. And I have some troubles with those people. So we just got it today...while the delivery was on the 18th!! Just terrible. But also very stupid of the people from UPS...why didn't they leave a note for me...or just called me at my cellphone (they did have the number...). Next time I let them deliver it at my workadress!!)
 And what a beautifull bottle...with, ofcourse, the Ferrari logo (also on the top of the bottle...)!! |

Minardi test on Fiorano |
|
| |
 This friday the team of Minardi will test on the Ferrari track Fiorano. All other teams have agread not to test in this period, but because Minardi has two new drivers it really has to test, this according to Paul Stoddart.
On the track will drive the new test (third) driver Gianmaria Bruni as well as Wilsons replacer Nicolas Kiesa. Wilson went to the team of Jaguar. They fired Pizzonia after the GP of Silverstone! Both the new drivers who work with Minardi never drove a F1-car. Stoddart wants to give them some feeling of the car before he sents them to the track of Hockenheim. |

Schumacher Ambassador |
|
| |
 Michael Schumacher has been officially declared Ambassador of the Republic of San Marino. It is a role he will fulfil only on particular occasions. The German driver has always been informed about solidarity issues and has taken part in numerous benefit events (not always sporting ones) and will be involved in humanitarian causes. |

No cup for Rubens |
|
| |
 The cup that Rubens last sunday won at the Silverstone GP will not be at his chimney. Why? While he was boarding to the plane, at Heatrow, that would take him home to Brazil someone bumped into the bag where the cup was in...it fell over and...broke. Yes...the cup broke in two pieces! The disapointed driver hopes that he can receive a new one! We hope it to for the sympathic Rubino! |

Tragedie at Silverstone! |
|
| |
 Yesterday a driver of the Historic Sportscar Challenge died after a crash at Silverstone. David Heynes, 56, an Oxfordshire businessman, was killed while competing in the Historic Sportscar Challenge which followed the grand prix. His 1958 Lotus 15 ploughed into the tyre wall at Becketts Corner.
After this and the other incident (the man who walked onto the straight in protest) the FIA will ask questions to the direction of Silverstone about the savety! |

Just one word: YES!! |
|
| |
 What a spectaculair race this was. Rubens had a bad start, he said himself because his tyres weren't warm enough, and lost two places. He got stuck behind Trulli and Raikkonen but was very fast! After a few laps the savety car came out, because a part of the McLaren from Coultard fell of onto the track.
A few laps later a silly guy came running onto the track...what a luck he did'n't got hit by the cars! Again the savety car came out...and everybody went into the pits...it was so crowded. When Rubens came out he was seventh. Michael was even at a worse place: fourtheenth.
But the race wasn't over. Rubens drove like he was on fire. He passed some cars in a fabulous way and he finaly went by Kimi. And...yes! He won his first race of this season. Just before Montoya en Raikkonen. Michael Schumacher became fourth and is still the leader of the championship.
To Rubens: WELL DONE!!! You deserve it!!! |

Good luck Rubens |
|
| |
 We wish all the luck of the world to Rubens Barrichello. Why? Because he drove like hell on saturday and may begin the race as first! Yes...he's one pole position!
On friday Rubens had a bad day. Was he during practice fourth, during the qualification he made a little mistake and spun of the track. So on saturday he started as second.
Nobody could touch his time, except his teammate Michael Schumacher. But he made a little mistake, we don't see those much from him, and went through the grass. So he became fifth. He stands behind his main enemy's (for the championship) Kimi Raikkonen and Ralf Schumacher. Trulli took with his Renault second place. Coultard was struggeling with his McLaren en was best Brit...as twelfth!! Montoya also had some struggles and became sixth.
We hope for Rubens that he has more luck then ever. He is a fast driver and he has the best car! So...good luck Rubens! May you win the Silverstone GP! |
