Spa-väder

Det verkar bli regn då Spa står på tur... Lördag har störst chans till solsken som det ser ut nu just. Regn både fredag och söndag. Synd för Lotus som skulle behöva torrt väder på fredag för att finjustera sin nya fina dubbel-DRS.

Nya webbsidor

Maikkari har uppdaterat sina webbsidor: http://www.mtv3.fi/urheilu/f1/ Kul så här när man haft F1-abstinens i flera veckor nu...

Vill du köpa Kimis gamla halare?

På årets grid står sex stycken världsmästare. Nu har de enats kring lite välgörenhet. Samtliga har gett racekläder och liknande, signade naturligtvis, till ett projekt kallat Wings for Life där intäkterna oavkortat går till forskning kring ryggmärgsskador (spinal cord injury). Kläderna auktioneras ut 3 december på Mercedes Benz World i Surrey. Förrättare är Bonhams Auctioneers. Mera info finns här:

Sommaruppehåll i F1

Undrar just vad förarna gör då det är sommaruppehåll i F1-världen. Hmm, OS förstås! Men vilka grenar? Jo, enligt planetF1.com så är det följande som gäller:

Jenson Button - TriathlonThe ginger whinger is one of the fittest drivers in the field and has competed in quite a few triathlons over the last few years, so this is an obvious choice.

Jessica Michibata (Mrs J.B.) - Beach VolleyballBeing a professional lingerie model, the adorable Jessica M. would score quite a few points before the game even began. Rumour has it that Eddie Jordan volunteered to be the sun cream applicator for the Irish beach volleyball team - all that ginger hair and sensitive skin would take a lot of protecting. If he had time, he'd even consider helping the women's team.

Fernando Alonso - Football Fernando is a regular player for F1 football teams. He'd be great in an Olympic football team...provided he got to pick the other 10.

Felipe Massa - Cycling Felipe likes to get out on a bike to survey the grands prix tracks, paced by his faithful domestique Rob Smedley. Who is slower than Felipe.

Kimi Raikkonen - Gymnastics Kimi Raikkonen would be a good choice for the men's gymnastics. Pitlane rumour says he's very good at the bars, after which he spends time on the floor. Developing his routine, obviously.

Kamui Kobayashi - Boxing Kamui could take his love of physical contact in races into the boxing ring. He'd probably face a Venezuelan in the first round.

Pastor Maldonado - 10km Walk Pastor Maldonado is used to walking a long way back from where he's parked his battered and smoking Williams-Renault.

Paul DiResta - Tennis Who knows if Paul can swing a raquet but he's Scottish and as gloomy as Andy Murray.

Lewis Hamilton - Pole Vaulting Lewis will have to vault himself to a few more poles if he wants to claw back his defecit to Fernando this season.

Michael Schumacher - Canoeing After Michael's recent forays into the tyre barriers in Germany and the Hungaroring, when his car aquaplaned in the wet, canoeing would be good for the seven times Weltmeister. At least they'd give him a paddle to steer.

Sebastian Vettel No idea what sport Sebastian would take up but he'd insist on being in Lane No.1. We're sure he'd "try something, try something!"

Mark Webber - Basketball As F1 is full of shortarses, it makes a nice change to see a six-footer and so Webbo but would be down as first choice on the team sheet for basketball. Though we've heard Pastor is good at dribbling.

Sergio Perez - Rowing All the great rowers are strapping 6' 4" blokes with massive shoulders and huge rippling muscles. Sergio would be the cox.

Narain Karthikeayn - High Jump Preparing himself for the end of the season.

Sebastien Buemi and Jaime Alguersuari - Badminton Because last season Red Bull special advisor Helmut Marko disqualified them because he didn't think they were really trying...
