Howdy!

An odd thing has happened with this blog... and it's America!

Or to be more accurate, the inhabitants of planet America. Mid-way through December the stats went off the scale (by my somewhat modest standards) and turned it into my biggest hitting month by a long way. January has already beaten a couple of previous months too, and the counter says the US is about to overtake the UK. Well, it doesn't say that as, in fact, it is an inanimate electronic counting programme, but hey - you knew what I meant, right? No? Bugger.

I have no idea why, but there you go. If I was interesting, funny, up-to-date, or had some insider F1 news, fair enough, but I'm duller than a bowl of 2 day-old dishwater (which has some bits of left-over lasagna floating about in it, and smells inexplicably of diesel. And where the hell did that pea come from? I haven't had any for weeks).

Welcome, anyway! I like you! Have a nice day! (If you're the CIA compiling a dossier on me, my real name is Alan Carr, and you need to lock me up for a very, very long time. Thank you.)

Malaysian Grand Prix - Vettel hot, but not bothered

By
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

Senna bags Willy drive?

By
The great thing about F1 rumours is that they change every 5 minutes. Just last week it was looking like Barrichello might be back in at Williams, as new engines, tech staff and a general reshuffle would mean they needed someone who actually knew what they were doing in an F1 car. Which rules out Maldonado, obviously. Now it looks like Senna might be about to get a seat with the team where his Uncle lost his life. I'm sure Bruno's mum must be delighted. I don't hold with all this superstitious mumbo-jumbo though, and with the extraordinary level of safety in modern F1 cars, Bruno should be pretty safe. There is one significant problem with Williams signing him though - and this is going to be a bit unpopular I suspect - Bruno isn't very good. Yes, he put in a couple of reasonable performances with Renault, but Nick Heidfeld (ah... Nick and his lovely beard...) would have been able to do likewise, has he not been dropped. And then they dropped Senna too. Thi
