F1 teams in new conspiracy shock

F1 teams in new conspiracy shock

F1’s teams are embroiled in a new conspiracy that has been going on since the start of the season but which only came to light during the Italian Grand Prix weekend. BBC bosses have for some time, been mystified as… to why teams fire up their engines just as soon as the trio of Jake Humphrey, David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan start a piece to camera in front of a garage.

Now, a disgruntled mechanic, recently fired from a top team, has spilt the beans saying that there is a ‘gentlemans agreement’ to start the engines and rev the living daylights out of them, as soon as Eddie Jordan is spotted with a microphone in his hand. The mechanic said; “The boys have been driven to distraction by Eddie’s inane and confused ramblings and when he decided to start involving himself in technical matters we just had to stop him”

The FIA are examining a dossier on the affair but are unlikely to take any action, with one source describing it as “A bloody good idea”.

Despite enduring the season from hell and having the modern day equivalent of Taki Inoue in one of their cars, Ferrari have at least managed to retain a sense of humour. With every man and his dog after Luca Badoers… drive for the Monza race, Ferrari have published the list of drivers they have been linked with, although they eerily say they have not included “some suggestions from the afterworld”. Here we go…

A as in Fernando Alonso

B as in Jules Bianchi, Mirko Bortolotti and Sebastien Bourdais

D as in Anthony Davidson

F as in Giancarlo Fisichella and Luca Filippi

G as in Marc Gené

A new career for Rubens?

A new career for Rubens?

According to Rubens Barrichello’s latest Twitter entry, this picture is “of my friend Roberto, who told me if I won the race I could do anything to his hair, so I created a racing track!”

We aren’t sure just what racing… track Rubens had in mind, maybe Santa Pod dragstrip, but let’s just hope that he does not take up hairdressing when he is finally done with F1..
