Juan Pablo Montoya stupid video files :P

Montoya in a little fight after an accident (yup the F1 tradition is alive in NASCAR as well) :P

Here is a video where Juan Pablo Montoya calls F1 legend Michael Schumacher ‘blind or stupid’. Schumi doesnt react to him.

But a comment very well summarises what Montoya was about, remember we didnt say it, we are just reproducing it ;)

Blah Blah Blah …. Montoya is better than Schumacher ……. what a load of c**p ……… Montoya isin’t even a has been ….. he’s a never was in the first place.

And just when we thought this guy couldnt have more stuff against him, we dugg around Youtube and found more (Warning : Expletives, 15+ only)

The idiot kept looking towards the Ferrari motorhome, oblivious of the fact that other living beings also occupy Earth, and then look at his attitude !

Arrogant Lewis Hamilton praises himself (yet again)

This kid is really really arrogant, i dont like his tone in various interviews, just read :

“I’ve ticked off Monaco, I’ve ticked off winning the British Grand Prix. Now, I’ve got to tick off winning the world championship. Those were the targets for this season. Winning at Silverstone has given me a massive boost and great momentum. I’m in a good spot now but, I have to keep on scoring points” Lewis Hamilton said

It was fine till this. Then :

“This showed I have the best concentration and I am the strongest,” Lewis Hamilton said.

What the deal with Hamilton and self praising ? , using superlatives for yourself is usually considered rude in sports especially when it isn’t even true :P

2008 Singapore Night Grand Prix to have fewer corners

Press Release :

Changes to the designation of corner numbers will mean that the Marina Bay circuit is officially reduced from 24 to 23 corners for the 2008 FORMULA 1™ SingTel Singapore  rand Prix on 28th September. The change in designation reflects amendments to Turn 10, at the end of St Andrew’s Road which passes City Hall and The Padang.

“Previously what was Turn 10 and 11 was actually 3 corners close together in a
chicane configuration, created to provide the right geometry and corner speeds, due to the lack of straight ahead run off in this part of the circuit” says Singapore GP Director–Technical & Race Operations, Michael McDonough.

“As it is created solely around what is in effect the approach to one corner it was determined, in association with the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, that one turn number (Turn 10) be used with a, b and c identifying the change in geometry through the turn.”

In addition, there have been further changes to offer additional grandstand seating to accommodate overwhelming demand. In just five months, over 92% of the tickets to the 2008 FORMULA 1™ SingTel Singapore Grand Prix have been sold.

With less than 90 days to the race, the demand remains so strong that race promoter Singapore GP Pte Ltd will be releasing an additional 1600 grandstand seats on Friday, 4 July 2008.

The Singapore Flyer Premier Grandstand will be converted to a conventional grandstand. In addition, there will also be a new 1100 seat Connaught Grandstand on Esplanade Drive (opposite the Esplanade). Three-day passes for these grandstands are priced at S$698 and offer a great view of the action although they will not have access to giant screens.

Singapore GP will also be adding an additional 500 seats to the existing Turn 2 Grandstand so that it now links to the Turn 1 Grandstand. The new seats are priced at S$1388, the same as all grandstands in the Northern Loop.

Due to the high take-up rate of the walkabout tickets, the City Hall Steps, previously identified as a potential grandstand location, will instead accommodate viewing platforms for walkabout ticket holders. All these locations are shown on a new circuit map which will be made available to all ticket holders.

With the new additional grandstand, a total of 84,600 three-day walkabout and grandstand passes will have been released, plus 13,000 corporate hospitality and Paddock Club seats. A further 3,000 single-day walkabout passes brings the total capacity per day to 100,600.

The Stamford, Raffles, Marina and Esplanade Waterfront grandstands are now
sold out.

Turn 3, Bay and the Pit grandstands have only single-seat availability.

However, seats are still available at Turn 1, Turn 2, Padang, Singapore Flyer, Esplanade Steps Premier and of course the new Connaught Grandstand.

Ex-formula one team Super Aguri to auction off its assets !

super aguri logo

In the final blow to the Super Aguri formula one team and lay rest to all takeover speculation, Super Aguri has appointed SHM Smith Hodgkinson as auctioneers to auction off their assets. These assets include the transporters of the team and also a formula one car.

The team was earlier shut down by its parent Honda company when takeover talks with a Dubai based company and India’s Spice Energy were put off. Nick Fry is often the guy told to be responsible for this collapse. Super Aguri fans, especially Japanese ones always curse Nick Fry on various online forums and f1 news sites.

The team is looking to be sold as an on-going concern to a company or individual looking to launch a Formula One or other motorsport operation”. So will it be gobbled up by an antique collector or another person who wants to stamp his authority in F1.

Aguri Suzuki however will not be auctioning their website, the message on the site from Aguri Suzuki reads :

We, SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM, had challenged Formula One World Championship for two years and four months with great support from many people since its establishment in 2006.

All of you that have cheered for us are to be a part of our team.

I really appreciate for your passion and enthusiasm that always empowered us.

With our gratitude to all of you, I would like to remain this site as archive for record.

June 1st, 2008
