Force India: Team Fifi's big chance?

Hands up who thinks FIFI are going to move up the field this year, and perhaps catch one of the bigger teams having an off-season? Renault, perhaps? Maybe Mercedes? Anyone? Hello?

Precisely. Probably the only people bigging that up as a serious possibility are Force India's Marketing department. People who work in Marketing Departments are dribbling, incoherant nincompoops, with a twisted sense of reality. Yes, I do work in a Marketing Department, you're quite right. I rest my case.

Vijay's mob came a pretty dismal 8th last year, having been reasonably quick in '09. They seriously need to arrest that slide. Slight problem is, they've been losing key technical staff as rapidly as I see off Cadbury products, so it doesn't look overly promising.

Adrian Sutil keeps his seat, but isn't likely to set it on fire any time soon, despite various people trumpeting him as one of F1's next big things. Wee laddie Paul di Resta finally gets the F1 call up, and seems well respected. If he can stick it to Sutil by mid season, then he'll have proved that all the berks who kept overlooking him were indeed big-time wrong. Good to have another Brit in F1 though. I might need to change my name....

(Having foolishly revealed on twitter this week that I am, in fact, hideously old, I'm proving the point tonight by listening to Pink Floyd. Shine On You Crazy Diamond...)

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

Malaysia. It's always hot, and it always rains. Except the 2nd part is no longer true (unless you count the drizzly bit around lap 14). Saturday's qualifying session had highlighted the fact that Red Bull and McLaren seemed well matched on pace, but also that Ferrari were struggling. Whilst Vettel bagged another pole, followed by Hamilton, Webber and Button, Alonso was only 5th, and Massa 7th, with Nick Heidfeld an excellent 6th on the grid between the two red cars. At this point, I would like to break momentarily for a small rant: How many times do I have to say Heidfeld is good? Why wasn't he given a top drive years ago? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! ARE YOU BLIND!!!?? Ahem. The Hispanias somehow managed to a) turn up b) remember to bring cars c) get both of them on the track d) actually get both of them within 107%. Pretty remarkable really. Oh, and it didn't rain. Race day looked a more likely candidate for a drop of the wet stuff. The start was exciting, with...

Suffering from natural obsolescence

You know you’re getting old when it dawns on you that you’re outliving technological breakthroughs. You know the sort of thing – something revolutionary, that heralds a seismic shift it the way the modern world operates. Clever, time-saving, breathtaking and life-changing (and featuring a circuit board). It’s the future, baby! Until it isn’t any more. I got to pondering this when we laughed heartily in the office about someone asking if our camcorder used “tape”. Tape? Get with the times, Daddy-o! If it ain’t digital then for-get-it! I then attempted to explain to an impossibly young colleague that video tape in a camcorder was indeed once a “thing”, requiring the carrying of something the size of a briefcase around on your shoulder, containing batteries normally reserved for a bus, and a start-up time from pressing ‘Record’ so lengthy, couples were already getting divorced by the time it was ready to record them saying “I do”. After explaining what tape was, I realised I’d ...

Faking it for real

As Donald “I’m really great, everybody says so” Trump is so fond of pointing out, there is a lot of fake news around nowadays. Honest. Your friends at Facebook think so too, and have recently been publishing their top tips for spotting false news – by placing them as ads in newspapers. Considering they came in for considerable criticism themselves, that’s like shouting “Squirrel!” and pointing at a tree whilst you hastily kick away the prize begonias you just trampled. To help you make sense of this (and because I’m a caring person), I thought I’d run you through their suggestions and help to explain them for you. I know. I’m lovely. 1. Be sceptical of headlines READING THIS ARTICLE WILL IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE!!! And explain that catchy headlines, or stuff all in capitals might be a bit iffy. 2. Look closely at the URL You can find out more about this at www.wowyouregullible.com if you want to understand how phony web addresses are a sure sign of dodgyness. 3. Investigate...
