The Mosely Saga Continues

Date April 3, 2008

The situation is going from bad to worse [if it already was not so] for Max Mosely. Mosely sent a letter to letter to ‘n’ number of people & motor sport bodies, yesterday, whereby he stated his stance on the whole issue. But in last 24 hours, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota & Honda had issued statements where all of them has displayed their disappointments at the ongoing controversy and have asked FIA to look into the matter very seriously. And to make matter worse, the Crown Prince of Bahrain, Sheikh Salman Bin Hamad Al-Khalifa has asked Mosely not to attend the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend. This, undoubtedly, is a big blow for Mosely.

Australian Grand Prix - Race Summary

Date March 20, 2007

And Kimi Raikkonen takes the chequered flag at 2007 ING Australian Grand Prix. Reigning champion Fernando Alonso finished second in his McLaren, followed by the rookie [and Fernando's teammate] Lewis Hamilton walking on the podium in his debut race.

If you thought Formula 1 racing were boring, think again. The race can’t get any more interesting and spectacular, with David Coulthard deciding to take “Aerial Route” literally on Alex Wurz. With Heikki Kovalainen thinking of Albert Park as Park, in literal sense, and driving his Renault in grass quiet a few times. With Takuma Sato finishing ahead of Jenson Button but behind Reubens Barrichello. With Felipe Massa managing to finish at 6th place after starting from 21st place on the grid [and thus proving my predictions for grid positions wrong]. With Williams managing to finish ahead of both of the Toyota’s.

Let’s look at what happened in some details.
