This years most premature fashion accessory
Schuey fans, here is where you can buy your own ‘Schumi Comeback 2009’ cap. The same people have already made 40,000 ‘Piss off Luca - Go Fisi’ caps for Monza – let’s hope they get it right this time.

How not to curry favour with the boss…
Despite them having the best weekend in their short history, positive karma is in short supply at Force India, as their director of business affairs, Ian Phillips, has found himself in very hot water with his boss Vijay Mallya.
Phillips ventured… the opinion, held by everybody else on the planet apart from Dr Mallya, that Giancarlo Fisichella would be a Ferrari driver within days, which caused the King of Bling to choke on his naan before issuing a rather stern riposte.
“Ian Philips’ comments do not reflect the views of the team since he is not the designated spokesperson, nor is he authorised to speak to the media. His comments should therefore be ignored,”
We’ll ignore him, but he’s still right…

Fisi accidentally sends India into orbit
The effects of Force India’s amazing Belgian Grand Prix weekend have been felt in deep space, with the teams pole position on Saturday being directly linked to the loss of the Indian Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft.
The £45 million, unmanned craft was launched… last October on a two year mission of exploration orbiting the Moon, but all contact was suddenly lost after qualifying on Saturday.
A spokesman at the Bangalore-based Space Research Organisation said the fault had been traced to a technician who had been watching events unfold in Belgium on the television, before banging his hands down on the control panel just as Giancarlo Fisichella secured pole, sending the Moon probe off on a one way trip in the direction of Jupiter.
The organisation though are not too unhappy, as like the rest of India they are busy celebrating India’s first pole and podium with a British based team, staffed mainly by Europeans with a car built in Northampton driven by an Italian with a German engine.
Well done India…

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
H as in Nico Hulkenberg
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

Get fit with Eddie
Istanbul Park, Saturday. Former team boss and personal irritant to David Coulthard, Eddie Jordan, today announced that the two most unfit drivers he ever employed were Giancarlo Fisichella and Eddie Irvine.
According to EJ, Irvine (left) often struggled to make… it to the door, though thankfully he did finally manage to reach it and escape to a life of luxury with Ferrari and Jaguar, before retiring to spend more time with his money.
Jordan, who had no less than 30 drivers race for him in F1, must know his stuff (his BBC colleague, Jake Humphrey, does remind us of this a lot) but EJ’s comments on fitness may have been ill advised, as during a walk up the pitlane with Jake and Coulthard, Eddie was out of puff by the time they got to the Red Bull pit and when the trio reached Renault, he was well and truly knackered - but was still expected to interview Flavio Briatore.
Eddie then posed a long, breathless, question to Flavio that would have had an asthmatic reaching for his inhaler but with Briatore being in one of his totally incomprehensible moods, nobody was any the wiser.
No change there then.
