Silverstone is not the only saviour for the British Grand Prix

Silverstone is not the only saviour for the British Grand Prix

F1 has an impressive list of glamorous venues, Monaco, Singapore and Monza to name but three but now you can now add one more. Glasgow. Paul Morrison, a Scot who puts on the ‘F1 Rocks’ concerts has told the ‘Daily… Record’ that he is trying to convince Bernie Ecclestone he needs a Scottish GP, and with Donington hanging in the balance, now could be the time.

Morrison says; “We have the roads for it” (which you have to admit is a start) before he rather confidently predicts “We will see a Formula One race in Scotland, certainly within the next decade.”

The venue of choice would appear to be Glasgow. A quick look at the map over a pint of McEwans, shows that a circuit could be knocked up quickly, with a route taking on the boy racers along the Clydeside Expressway, before returning for a blast down Argyle Street finishing on the Govan Road.

Finishing in Govan (pictured) is a brave choice but business analysts say it would be good for the area, possibly doubling the number of people in employment from two to four.

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

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..
