Schumacher in apology shock!

Schumacher in apology shock!

One day after saying, that attempting to blend Rubens Barrichello into becoming a permanent part of the Hungaroring pit wall, was ‘part of F1’ Michael Schumacher concedes that he might have gone a bit far and has issued an apology… to the Brazilian.

It’s hardly a fulsome, teary, box-of-tissues-required kind of apology but for Michael Schumacher, it is something of a revelation.

Having heard that the German had come over all contrite, several other F1 drivers who have been given the Schuey squeeze over the years, were on tenterhooks by their telephones last night.

However, Messrs Hill, Villeneuve, Frentzen, Hakkinen and Coulthard (amongst many others) were warned not to hold their breath, as one apology in 19 years does not bode well for a repeat anytime soon..

Your starter for ten - Vijay's University Challenge

Following in the footsteps of David Coulthard, who made an appearance last month, Force India boss, Dr Vijay Mallya, is to address the Oxford University Student Union on the 5th of March.

Let’s hope his chosen topic is not accountancy.

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”.

Ferrari name 21 candidates for Monza

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

C as in David Coulthard

D as in Anthony Davidson

F as in Giancarlo Fisichella and Luca Filippi

G as in Marc Gené

K as in Robert Kubica

L as in André Lotterer and Vitantonio Liuzzi

P as in Nelson Piquet (Jr.) and Giorgio Pantano

R as in Valentino Rossi and Davide Rigon

S as in Takuma Sato and Bruno Senna

T as in Jarno Trulli

So, no Michael Schumacher then?

Eddie Jordan in wrist watch worry…

Eddie Jordan in wrist watch worry...

 

Concern has been expressed in the F1 paddock for the health of Eddie Jordan, following the news that his wrist watch now weighs in excess of 5 kilos and that the stress of lifting up the microphone to bicker pointlessly… with David Coulthard could lead to irreparable upper arm damage.

For much of the season EJ has decided to dress like a handsomely paid deck hand with a well glued on hairdo, but it is the ever increasing size of his watch (seen here in a relatively sensible size in Melbourne) that has people worried.

Said one source close to the Beeb; “The watch just gets bigger at each race, during the Hungarian GP weekend his right hand was dragging on the ground – if it goes on like this, by the time we get to Abu Dhabi it will be the size of a grandfather clock.”
