Massa in Intensive care!

There was another motor racing accident today.

Luckily no-one died this time though.

During qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix Massa was hit in the head by a piece of debris (a spring weighing approx 800g) which wripped of his visor and hit his forhead. He then hit the tyre wall at turn 4 going at nearly full speed.

He was unconcious, taken to the medical centre then flown to hospital in Bucharest.

He has since undergone surgery on his skull.

He suffered a cut above is eye, concussion and skull damage and is currently in intensive care.

Obviously he won't be racing tomorrow, and we hope he gets well soon!

Great weekend

Weather was a bit sad yesterday, overcast n wet. But, as it rained over night last night today has turned out to be a wonderful day. Been out in the garden, now sitting with a cold beer watching the German Grand Prix. And to make it better the Maclaren car's are finally racing! Hamilton got off to a fantastic start, then lost it due to a rear puncture! Still, all good and the race isn't over yet!

Formula 1

What is it with these teams? Max Mosely is trying to save the sport, and save everyone some money! Yes, the new regulations may split the teams up, but is that so bad? Stick to the £40M budget and the teams can spend more on development, less restrictions and more freedom. Don't and they have limitations placed on them. Surely that helps the smaller teams and makes it better for everyone, especially the fan. Or is this what some of them are afraid of? Not being able to spend £120M plus, or more importantly getting beaten by a team spending way way less than them?
