The
2008 Formula One season is underway. With the relaxing atmosphere of the first round at
Melbourne (where
Lewis Hamilton won with
Nick Heidfeld second and a superb
Nico Rosberg in third after a very eventful race with only seven drivers finishing) behind us, the focus then shifted to
Malaysia. A superior
Kimi Räikkönen got back on track with a great win;
Robert Kubica and
Heikki Kovalainen finished in distant second and third places followed by a tremendous
Jarno Trulli and unlucky
Lewis Hamilton in fourth and fifth places respectively.
Mark Webber,
Fernando Alonso,
David Coulthard and
Jenson Button all showed their teams' strong improvements and performances in seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth respectively. The two Grands Prix have shown all the rivalries we will be seeing during the season and how dependent the results are on the removal of traction control and engine braking.
Bahrain is here and I bet everyone out there is hoping for a very good and close-finishing race there.

"We're watching Ralf Schumacher... son, of course of double world champion Michael Schumacher..... er, the brother of Michael Schumacher.…."
Murray Walker
The first flyaway stages of the
2008 season have come to a close with
Bahrain, where
Felipe Massa,
Rubens Barrichello,
Jarno Trulli and
Giancarlo Fisichella drove storming races to 1st, 11th, 6th and 12th respectively.
Robert Kubica also looked impressive (especially during qualifying), and looks for
BMW Sauber to be in championship contention. The unfortunate
Lewis Hamilton finished in 13th, losing the championship lead to
Kimi Räikkönen.
Jenson Button (who retired) had a race to forget after a qualifying session to remember. Then most of the cars got updated and the teams tested their first 2009-spec cars in tests at the
Circuit de Catalunya. In a probable look into the future of Formula One design,
Renault used
RBR's idea of a 'shark fin' on the airbox and the teams looking into the
2009 regulations, including the planned introduction of slick tyres.
Honda tried a 'dumbo wing' on the car's nosecone and every other team tried to improve.
Super Aguri lost their deal with the Magma Group after the planned buyout last month fell through, but did make it to the Spanish GP; SA's future is in the air again and still looking poor. The
Spanish GP got underway with the hope that the adaptions will give new teams chances to win or get in the points.
Fernando Alonso starred in qualifying by setting a provisional pole position time just before Kimi Räikkönen took it away by 0.091s.Toyota have made a jump from their slot at 11th-12th on the grid to clear points positions.McLaren didn't have a nice time with fifth and sixth places, in addition to David Coulthard who could only manage 17th after having a bad last lap. The
Circuit de Catalunya saw
Kimi Räikkönen take the glory with
Felipe Massa and
Lewis Hamilton finishing in second and third places respectively.
Jenson Button,
Fernando Alonso and
Giancarlo Fisichella all drove one of their most best races, with
Kazuki Nakajima also showing that he and
WilliamsF1 are worth their stay in Formula One.
Heikki Kovalainen had a nasty crash, causing a prolonged Safety Car period. He was rushed to hospital for checks; thankfully he was announced to have no serious injuries.
Toro Rosso had a race to forget after both their cars were crashed out by other drivers. At the start of the season the
FIA threatened the cancellation of the
Spanish and
European GPs if racism continued in
Spain after after hearing of the racial abuse directed at
McLaren's
Lewis Hamilton while he was testing the
MP4-23 at
Barcelona during Winter testing. However, this was considered 'stupid' and has not happened due to the Spanish GP is completed and the European GP sold out.'Chubbennaitor, Sage J Callahan, Diniz(talk),

Ayrton Senna (da Silva) is most known for his push to win, much the same as
Gilles Villeneuve. Senna is a three time Formula One Champion, winning in
1988,
1990, and
1991. Many people have compared Senna to
Juan Manuel Fangio, who is known as "The Master" of Formula One. Senna is a
Brazilian, and raced for
Toleman,
Lotus,
McLaren, and
Williams. Statistically, he is among the greatest ever, with 41 wins and 65 pole positions. His then-record of 65 pole positions was broken by
Michael Schumacher in the
2006 San Marino Grand Prix. His rivalry with
Alain Prost is among the most legendary in Formula One, going as far as Senna colliding with Prost in the first turn of Suzuka in 1990, giving Senna the title. Tragically, Senna died during the
1994 San Marino Grand Prix when his
Williams left the track at high speed, hitting the concrete retaining wall at around 135 mph. No driver since has been killed while driving a Formula One car. His skill in wet weather and bad conditions has made him stand out among other drivers. Where most people would choose to drive conservatively, to avoid causing a crash, Senna would still push his hardest. Following the death of Senna (and
Roland Ratzenberger), many safety improvements have been made. What could possibly be better than his on-the-track skills was what he did off the track. His character and attitude has made him a legend among F1 fans.

Lewis Hamilton lived up to McLaren's expectations with a memorable win at a rainswept
Monaco Grand Prix.Carnage after the pit lane pile-up. Rosberg just becomes untangled while Hamilton and Raikkonen get out of their carsCarnage after the pit lane pile-up. Hamilton and Raikkonen's cars left stranded on the pit-lane exit.Robert Kubica secured his and
BMW Sauber's first win at the
Canadian Grand Prix.Rubens Barrichello had to be one of the drivers of the month after scoring consecutive points and out racing his team-mate
Jenson Button.
The week before the
Turkish Grand Prix there was a controversy over
Super Aguri being barred from the Istanbul paddock. This was a result of
Honda'sNick Fry telling
Bernie Ecclestone that Super Aguri wouldn't be competing in the race after worries that
Weigl's sponsorship would be insufficient. The next day Super Aguri announced that they would be departing from Formula One, as the team was past saving. McLaren went into Turkey hoping for a good result and got a mixed one with
Lewis Hamilton and
Heikki Kovalainen finishing second and twelfth respectively. The lights had a bit of a problem at the start but eventually the race got underway with Hamilton overtaking his team-mate.
Kimi Räikkönen got overtaken by a fast-starting
Alonso while
Giancarlo Fisichella charged into the back of
Kazuki Nakajima. Hamilton chose a three-stop strategy due to high tyre wear, but put in a fantastic overtaking manoeuvre on
Felipe Massa. Late-race there was a three-way battle between
Jenson Button,
Nelsinho Piquet and a recovering Kovalainen, who had his left-rear tyre punctured by Räikkönen's front wing on the first lap. Button was struggling on the option tyre while Piquet was trying some moves; on his second overtaking chance he pushed Button into the pit entrance causing Button to slow. Probably thinking it was Hamilton lapping him, Button let Kovalainen pass on the corner immediately after (first corner). Massa thus won the first race of the month, with
Lewis Hamilton and his
Ferrari team-mate following in hot pursuit behind.
Rubens Barrichello celebrated his 257th Grand Prix start by finishing 14th with a "257" paint job on the car and a special "257-themed" helmet. Barrichello's 257th GP race surpassed
Riccardo Patrese's former record of 256 GPs, making him the most experienced driver in F1 history. After the
Spanish Grand Prix he celebrated in a round of golf accompanied by ITV's
Louise Goodman and fellow racers. A week before the
Monaco Grand Prix a test was held at
Paul Ricard. There were mixed results with only 11-12 cars being tested per day and the sessions being affected by changeable weather. Honda kept their promise and the wings on the nose got a makeover with other visible changes as well. Then the circus moved to
Monaco, the stylish venue on the calendar mapped around the bay of
Monte Carlo. McLaren's drivers had special diamond studded helmets for the occasion. On the Tuesday that week
Mark Webber proved to be the man of the hour after using First Aid on his companion, AMD's
Morris Denton, alongside cycling legend,
Lance Armstrong. A car had hit Denton through some traffic works; he would need 90 stitches but arrived at the paddock that weekend. Fisichella didn't get his wish of a points finish on his 200th Grand Prix start after retiring with a jumping gearbox. At the start of the parade lap, Kovalainen stalled and had to start from the pit lane, but despite starting from there he grabbed the last of the points-paying positions with eighth and catching up to seventh; he finished three seconds behind
Kazuki Nakajima after the gap was sixteen seconds just five laps before. The race started in the rain for the first time since
1997 and the Ferraris came under pressure from Hamilton at the start with Räikkönen falling back to third. Massa led early on, whilst Hamilton tapped the wall and sustained a puncture. However, the McLaren team was able to use the changed pit-stop strategy to their advantage due to frequent Safety Car periods and the gradual improvement in the weather that necessitated a switch to dry tyres before the end of the race. While Massa and
Robert Kubica struggled on worn tyres and heavy fuel loads mid-race, Hamilton was able to build up a big enough lead to maintain first position after his second pit stop. Kubica, who jumped past Massa when the Ferrari driver had a brief excursion at Ste. Devote, finished ahead of the Brazilian in second place, but there was last-minute drama behind.
Adrian Sutil was running in a strong fourth place after the final safety car period until a recovering Räikkönen, who had earlier damaged his front wing and been forced to pit, slipped up going into the Nouvelle Chicane. Kimi only put on another new front wing and rejoined in ninth, but a devastated Sutil had bad car damage and retired just before the race's 90% distance mark. This left the way clear for Webber,
Sebastian Vettel (débuting the
Toro Rosso STR3 chassis), Nakajima, Barrichello and Kovalainen to finish in the points. Two weeks later, the championship moved to
Canada on its annual trip to North America. The track had been partially resurfaced since 2007, but these new sections of tarmac began to break up, causing a hazard throughout the race weekend. Nevertheless, Hamilton seemed unaffected as he set a pole position time 0.6 seconds faster than second-placed Kubica. In the race, the front two and third man Räikkönen held position until the first round of pit stops, which were taken under Safety Car conditions. Hamilton lost position to his two pursuers with a longer stop, but then compounded his problems by running into the back of Räikkönen as the Finn and Kubica waited for the green light to come on at the end of the pitlane. Both retired, whilst
Nico Rosberg (who was also involved) lost his front wing. Both Hamilton and Rosberg have been given ten-place grid penalties for the next race of the season, in
France. This incident, fuel rig problems for Massa and Kovalainen's poor pace turned the race into an all-
BMW Sauber fight between Kubica and
Nick Heidfeld. Choosing different strategies, the former prevailed by making an additional pitsop to the latter. The race marked Kubica's and BMW's first win in F1, and the first time since the
1999 European Grand Prix that neither Ferrari, McLaren nor Renault has appeared on the podium, as
David Coulthard finished in third place to take his first points of the season.
Timo Glock was also a first-time 2008 scorer as he beat the recovering Massa to the flag, and they were followed home by
Jarno Trulli, Barrichello and Vettel. Massa performed the most impressive pass of the race in his progress from the back of the field following his fuel glitch by passing
Jenson Button and Kovalainen simulataneously at the Old Pits Hairpin. The result has elevated Kubica into the lead of the Drivers' Championship, with Hamilton, Massa, Raikkonen and Heidfeld not far behind.

Article of the month: Forti (current GA candidate)
Forti Corse, commonly known as Forti, was an
Italianmotor racing team chiefly known for its brief, and unsuccessful, involvement in
Formula One in the mid-1990s. It was established in the 1970s and competed in lower formulae for two decades, with some success. The team graduated to F1 as a
constructor and
entrant in
1995 and continued into
1996, before succumbing to financial problems mid-season. The team competed in a total of 27 Grands Prix, scoring no points, and is recognised as one of the last truly privateer teams to race in an era when many large
car manufacturers were increasing their involvement in the sport.

Mosley is a former
barrister and amateur racing driver, and a founder and co-owner of
March Engineering, a successful racing car constructor and
Formula One racing team. He looked after legal and commercial issues for the company between 1969 and 1977. In the late 1970s, Mosley became the official legal adviser to the
Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA), the body which represents the Formula One teams. In this role he drew up the first version of the
Concorde Agreement, which settled a
dispute between FOCA and the
Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA), the governing body of Formula One. Mosley was elected president of FISA in 1991 and became president of the FIA, FISA's parent body, in 1993. Mosley has identified his major achievement as FIA President as being the promotion of the
European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP or Encap), a European
car safety performance assessment programme. He has also promoted increased safety and the use of green technologies in motor racing. In 2008, Mosley retained his position after stories about his sex life appeared in the British press.
Mosley is the son of Sir
Oswald Mosley, former leader of the
British Union of Fascists (BUF), and
Diana Mitford. He was educated in
France,
Germany and Britain before going on to attend university at
Christ Church, Oxford where he graduated with a degree in
physics. In his teens and early twenties Mosley was involved with his father's post-war party, the
Union Movement (UM). He has said that the association of his surname with fascism stopped him from developing his interest in politics further, although he briefly worked for the
Conservative Party in the early 1980s.

The 1995 Pacific Grand Prix (formally the II Pacific Grand Prix) was a
Formula One motor race held on October 22, 1995 at the
TI Circuit,
Aida,
Japan. It was the 15th race of the
1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 83 laps, was won by
Michael Schumacher for the
Benetton team after starting from third position.
David Coulthard, who started the Grand Prix from
pole position, finished second in a
Williams car, with
Damon Hill third in the other Williams. Schumacher's win confirmed him as
1995 Drivers' Champion as Hill could not pass Schumacher's points total with only two races remaining.
Hill started the race alongside Coulthard on the front row, amidst pressure from the British media for not being "forceful" enough in battles. Schumacher attempted to drive around the outside of Hill at the first corner, but Hill held Schumacher off as
Jean Alesi, driving for
Ferrari got past both on the inside line to take second position. As a result, Hill dropped down to third and Schumacher dropped down to fifth behind
Gerhard Berger. Schumacher managed to get past Alesi and Hill during the first of three
pit stops. This allowed him, on a new set of
slick tyres, to close on Coulthard who was on a two-stop strategy. Schumacher opened up a gap of 21 seconds by lapping two seconds faster per lap than Coulthard, so that when his third stop came, he still led the race.
*Hamilton was given a 25 second + to his racing time demoting him to 3rd place gifting
Felipe Massa the win
1.
McLaren appealed with hard evidence
2.
Timo Glock also recieved this penalty for overtaking under the yellow flag dropping him to ninth place out of the points.

Hamilton started from
pole position alongside title rival Massa. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate
Heikki Kovalainen started from third next to the
2007 winner Kimi Räikkönen. Following a spin by Hamilton on the second lap, Räikkönen led the race, until rain fell on lap 41 and Hamilton performed the penalised pass. Räikkönen crashed in the following lap as rain started raining heavily. Massa finished second on the road after Hamilton, followed by
Nick Heidfeld of
BMW Sauber.
Hamilton received a drive-through penalty, which demoted him to third place and advanced Massa and Heidfeld to first and second positions. McLaren appealed the decision at the
FIA International Court of Appeal. Their case, however, was judged inadmissible, with the Court ruling that drive-through penalties cannot be challenged. The penalty created a large amount of criticism from the global press, mainly from the
United Kingdom and
Italy, with several former drivers questioning the decision. Massa's retrospective win, with Hamilton demoted to third, narrowed the gap in the Championship from six points to just two.

Before the race,
Drivers' Championship leader
Lewis Hamilton had received heated criticism in the
British press for his aggressive driving style at the
Japanese Grand Prix three weeks previously. There, Hamilton's late braking at the first corner sent Räikkönen off the road and saw the McLaren driver relegated to the back of the field after a penalty.
Massa started the race alongside
Toyota driver
Jarno Trulli. Massa's Ferrari team-mate Räikkönen began from third next to Hamilton. Rain fell minutes before the race, delaying the start, and as the track dried Massa established a lead of several seconds. More rain in the closing laps did not prevent Hamilton from finishing the race in fifth position, securing him the points needed to take the Championship.

Damon Graham Devereux HillOBE (born 17 September 1960) is a retired
British racing driver from
England. In 1996 Hill won the
Formula One World Championship; as the son of the late
Graham Hill, he is the only son of a world champion to win the title. His father died in a plane crash when Hill was 15, leaving the family in reduced circumstances and Hill came to professional motorsports at the relatively late age of 23 by
racing motorcycles. After some minor success, he moved on to single-seater racing cars, and progressed steadily up the ranks to the International
Formula 3000 championship by 1989, where although often competitive he never won a race.
Hill became a test driver for the Formula One title-winning
Williams team in 1992. He was unexpectedly promoted to the Williams race team the following year after 1992 champion
Nigel Mansell's departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the
1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. During the mid 1990s, Hill was
Michael Schumacher's main rival for the Formula One Driver's Championship. The two clashed on and off the track; their collision at the
1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill won the
1996 World Drivers' Championship, but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitive
Arrows and
Jordan teams, and in 1998 gave Jordan its first win.
Hill retired from racing after the 1999 season. He has since launched several businesses as well as making appearances playing the guitar with celebrity bands. In 2006, he became president of the
British Racing Drivers' Club, succeeding
Jackie Stewart.

Below is the F1 Picture for last month (found

It is exclusive to the
Newsletter.
Schumacher won his ninth race of the season, which equalled
Nigel Mansell's record for
victories in a season that was set in
1992. As both the
Williams cars retired from the race, Benetton were confirmed as
Constructors' Champions as Williams could not pass Benetton's points total with only one race remaining.
Jean Alesi, driving for
Ferrari, started second beside Schumacher. However, since his car had moved forward before the start, he was forced to serve a
10-second stop and go penalty. Alesi climbed up to second, before retiring on lap 25.
