Not sure he'd do much of a job for Ferrari.

They've brought back the Red Car/Blue Car ad but changed the words. At the risk of sounding like a bad stand-up, what's that all about?

Aaaand apparently we're both slightly off the mark. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Form...rom_Switzerland

I always think Rosset was Swiss too. I blame Marc Rosset, the Olympian tennis player. Thinking back to my glory years as a racing nerd, I think Gregor Foitek was Swiss, but calling him an F1 driver might be pushing it a bit...

That's SloopJohn's album of the year you're talking about there.

I'd be worried too with a site called Crashmania.

Lauda isn't exactly mincing his words here: http://www.crash.net/f1/news/150448/1/laud...rs_useless.html I'd love it to be Badoer, I've an inexplicable soft spot for him after the various indignities he suffered during his F1 career, but I can't really see it - even if it is one of the test drivers, you'd assume Gené would get the nod. Particularly since the race is in Spain... Also, on a Senna-related tangent, I stumbled across this piece recently - might be of interest to some here: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?p=994457

They were in the Song for Europe a few years back, with that "Brand New Day" song they did at half-time. Beaten by Javine and Katie Price, and now appearing at a football stadium near you. Classy.

Herzlichen Birthday!

I wish I'd discovered drinking at work earlier, it'd have made my first job in Mainz that bit more bearable. What's Mainz like? Nice enough actually (except at carnival time, where it descends into the very belly of hell). Not nice enough to justify living there for two and a half bloody years though.

That's still the most rubbish bit of Photoshopping ever committed to file.

I'd imagine he wouldn't be.

Give Stevie some credit, he's hooked an absolute knacker here. Is that not the definition of a decent Friday night out?

The "Country" station on Spotify. It just played the demo of Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust".

Hark, is that the sound of the joy being sucked out of everything I hear?

It's like the upper-class compartment on Incontinence Airways.

And just as another young talent gets his shot at the big-time: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport...one/8158722.stm It's a cruel old sport sometimes.

R.I.P. old boy, a life well lived.

Just in time for the new season!

Tuesday.

I... know?

That's no way to talk about Mini-Midds.
