Michael Schumacher's Tagebuch-Blog
Well, here we are. Quite honestly and obviously I never thought that this situation of returning to Formula 1 would happen for me. But as Sean Connery said in the famous James Bond movie, Never Say You Only Live Twice.
It was not a difficult decision to be making when the big guy got on the phone and said “Michael, I’ve got a seat for you in 2010.” I knew straight away that...
Devin Altieri: A Teenage Race Fan
Teenagers. What do you think of when you think of teenagers? My guess is that you think of valley girls saying “Like” and “Oh my god”, much like the movie Clueless. I don’t exactly fit that stereotype. My name is Devin Altieri and I am a teenage race fan. This blog will chronicle my experiences as a race fan, starting with this last month. What did I do last month you ask? Supercross! Supercross...
James Allen: Rosberg “I’ve nothing to lose”
Nico Rosberg has come out strongly in a fantastic interview today by my colleague Frederic Ferret in L’Equipe sports newspaper in France,

James Allen on Schumacher's engineer at Mercedes
I’ve had a lot of enquiries in the last few days about who will engineer Michael Schumacher at Mercedes.
Many people wanted to know which of the two Brawn engineers he might get or whether Michael would be hiring in one of his ex Ferrari engineers.
I’ve contacted the team and the answer is that Schumacher will work with Andrew Shovlin, who engineered Jenson Button to the world championship last...
Peter Windsor's World from Team USF1
A lot has happened since we announced our plans for the US F1 Team back in February 2009, and I’m sure that most of you will be aware of the broad picture.
The economic world recession and political issues in F1 born indirectly of that downturn effectively cut seven months from our year. One minute we were planning the team in detail, the next we were wondering if we’d have a single F1 World...
