F1 in 2011

[Pete McCluskey.]

Apparently it was on the way to the start of the rally, the report I could find said multiple injurys. If it is a femur he will not make the first race.
I wish him well.

Can you believe this? I guess someone in the marketing department thought it might get some publicity. I don't think Ferrari will give a toss.

Massive breaking news for F1 about huge financial irregularities. Maybe it's not such big news really as it's always been a bit seamy.......

Hmmm...holding my breath for the F1 race:


DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP)—The GP2 Asia Series race in Bahrain has been canceled amid anti-government protests that have left four dead overnight— less than a month before the season-opening Formula One race at the same circuit.

The Bahrain Grand Prix is scheduled for March 13, with F1 workers due to be in the country 10 days earlier.
In a statement Thursday on the GP2 website, organizers say the race slated for Friday and Saturday was called off at the request of the Bahrain Motorsport Federation “due to force majeure,” or unexpected event.
No further information was available

Everything I have seen up to last night said that the F1 race was still on. I wonder????
