		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know about you but I’m still left scratching my head as to how on earth Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton could have pulled into the wrong pit-stop for a tyre change during the Malaysian Grand Prix. No doubt McLaren’s team principal, Martin Whitmarsh, still hasn’t been able to wipe the grin off his face. He was quoted in the papers as saying: “Well at that stage of the race I was laughing. I still have a very good relationship with Lewis and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll give him a bit of grief about it.” To be fair to the lad, Hamilton worked his way up through Woking-based McLaren for 13 years before moving to Mercedes earlier this year, so he’s pretty familiar with the McLaren colours. But at just 28 years old, we can’t exactly blame old age for the blunder. When you think about how many pit-stops take place over the course of a season, how does this kind of thing happen? Would Jermain Defoe ever mistakenly find himself in the Gooners’ changing rooms? We think not. Would a British Airways pilot end up in the Virgin canteen (OK I don’t really know if they have their own canteen, but you get my point)… So let’s take a look at what happened. After just six laps, Hamilton went straight into McLaren’s pit box for his first stop. Stunned McLaren crew simply stepped back in disbelief as their former colleague pulled up and, recognising his mistake, accelerated through and pulled up to his Mercedes pit box. Amongst others looking on was his girlfriend, Nicole Scherzinger, who smiled at his mistake. The McLaren team joked about it on Twitter, saying  &#8221;Smiles in the garage after a well-worked double pit stop with an unexpected twist” and later tweeting “Feel free to pop in and say &#8216;Hi&#8217; any time, @LewisHamilton!&#8221; Now maybe it was tiredness (because we all know the extreme pressure F1 puts on the body). Or perhaps he was too busy thinking about his new album. Yes you read that right, Hamilton has announced that he’s recording an ‘off the hook album’ which he’s been working on for the past 12 months. More about that later. Going back to my point, surely you’d expect that if something like that is going to happen, it would be towards the end of the race when the drivers are exhausted, not at the start. Well, whatever the cause, Hamilton himself couldn’t even explain it. He was quoted as saying: “&#8217;I'm so used to stopping at McLaren, it just happened. I don&#8217;t know how I got it wrong”. Jenson Button, who finished fifth, did the same thing a few years ago of course. Hamilton eventually finished in third place behind Red Bull duo Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. This was controversial in itself because after the final pitstop (yes, in the right pits this time) his faster team-mate Nico Rosberg was ordered by team principal Ross Brawn to hold his position. In the press conference after [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Arguably The best racer, driver, champion in Formula 1 that ever existed.  Ayrton&#8217;s natural talent, focus and intensity gave him 3 championship titles against a highly competitive era including Prost, Mansell, and Piquet.   In 1994, San Marino GP, Ayrton was involved in a fatal accident that made him a martyr.  He will forever be remembered as the king before Schumacher assumed the reign. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Probably the greatest driver in Formula 1.  Michael started his career with Jordan and was driving for Flavio&#8217;s Benetton team the following season.  Martin Brundle was his team mate at the time.  Schuey won 2 titles starting in 94 and 95 and then moved to an uncompetitive Scuderia Ferrari with his crew of Ross Brawn, Rory Bryne and Nigel Stepney.  In 2000, he took 5 consecutive titles beating Kimi in 2003 by one point.  Schumi&#8217;s taken more poles than Senna and more Championship title&#8217;s than Fangio.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apparently Bernie warned Max Mosely of the plot to bring him down as president of the FIA.  So who dunnit?  Was it Mclaren?  They would have a strong incentive after Stepneygate but they staunchly denied it. Was it the News of the World?  Afterall, the FIA had a go at the Times Online and Martin Brundle.  Back to Bernie again.  But then Bernie warned Max beforehand, so was behing the Moselygate plot?  Answers in an email please.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[GP2 owned by Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore is under threat from a rival series to be created by the FIA as a direct feeder series for Formula 1.  Honestly, who wants it?  Will the sponsors care?  Do the fans want it? Do the team owners want it? Probably not to all questions.  I see this as just another attack on Bernie by the FIA.  There simply is no need for another feeder series that nobody will care about.  Given the draconian behaviour we&#8217;ve seen, I doubt the rival series to the GP2 is likely to get all team owners to all rush in and abandon GP2.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Damon Hill helpfully alluded, if the press and the fans can&#8217;t be bothered to offer support then he might ask &#8216;Why bother?&#8217;. Well, he hasn&#8217;t had a great time of it recently, first having a penalty for crashing into Kimi at the Canadian GP which was thoroughly deserved and then a drive through penalty in the French GP for cutting a corner in order to maintain an advantage in overtaking Sebastian Vettel &#8211; again totally deserved.  So what&#8217;s his problem.  Well &#8211; as Coulthard pointed out &#8211; Kimi and Mika keep a very low profile and therefore the David Beckham rate that Lewis takes means that the very public profile is bound to take its toll on and off the race track.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kimi was comfortably leading the race from the go, until in the later stages of the race the right exhaust on Raikkonen&#8217;s car fell off and was hanging by a cable which eventually flew off. Amazingly, despite the loss of engine power kimi managed to flick a few switches and manage the changeable car to secure a Ferrari 1-2, albeit in the incorrect order, at Magny-Cours. Trulli came in third fending off Heikki and Robert Kubica, avenging the mistake he made years ago which allowed Barrichello to over take him on the last lap.  Trulli dedicated the win to Toyota&#8217;s late Ove Andersson.  As for Hamilton, he made an illegal move on Sebastien Vettel by cutting the chicane to avoid Sebastian retaking his place.  British pundits were moaning, but the FIA did give the most lenient penalty possible, so a great race all in all.]]></description>
