Read and hear Lewis's car to pit radio, compared with his interview after the race, which the FiA have used to decide that Trulli will get his 3rd place back and Lewis out of the running, not even classified. The new order in formula 1, seems more like 1984 that 2009. Tongue in cheek, of course...
From wired magazine, an interesting article about F1 drivers and what they like to tool around ini away from the track. The answers may surprise you, unless of course you have sat in or raced a formula car yourself, and then you would probanly agree. Either way, a good read away from Kers, and budgets, while we wait for the season to get back in gear. Cheers...

Sure, that seems all F1 is now, yet, good on him for sticking up and saying NO to pressure created and consumed by and for guttersnipe. All detractors must look themselves in the mirror first and ask how much they would enjoy there private bedroom activites being published for public consumption. Thank you, that's all there is.....have mercy.
