We’re now really off to the races.

The pre-season was highly exciting, with all those new teams, and the many driver switches –Jenson Button to McLaren and Alsonso to Ferrari being the top examples and, of course, the return of “Der Kaiser” (Schumi) after a three-year absence, but this time with Mercedes-Benz.

The Italians win, but not the usual Italians

September 14 2008

It is always great when the home team wins in formula one and most of the locals that were in attendance this weekend at Monza were wearing that particular shade of red that identified them as supporters of the Scuderia Ferrari.
