Thank you BMW

Not that I like BMW (the brand and most of its cars), but I am delighted about the company's decision to withdraw its Formula 1 sponsorship (and team, I hope). Seriously, in an age where everyone's going on about reducing energy wastage, we got guys driving around in circles in overpowered racing cars. I wonder how many people watch this stuff hoping to see the next big accident. Anyhow, another major team down... few to go :0).

Economic crisis leads to even more good news

The economic crisis that Anglosaxon style capitalism has brought us into might not only herald the end of those dreaded US car manufacturers (here's wishful thinking), no, there's more good news: this could even herald the end of Formula 1. Yes, the end of men driving around in circles in gas guzzling racing cars for no good reason at all. Honda has already withdrawn from sponsoring a Formula 1 racing team, and rumours have it that there will be more to follow. Stay tuned ... and fingers crossed.
