Toy Story

Can you believe this is a model car? I couldn’t either. This car has been build by Amalgam, this is what their website says:

Amalgam Fine Model Cars creates the very highest quality model cars and yachts, for designers, manufacturers and high-end collectors worldwide. We supply the majority of Formula 1 teams with large-scale models and replica steering wheels for presentation to VIPs and for the use of sponsors and team partners. Our models are displayed in the offices of team owners, managers and chief designers across the sport. And we are proud to supply many F1 drivers too.

This McLaren F1 just looks amazing in 1/8th scale, the only drawback is that you will have to pay 4700 dollars or 4150 Euro for it.

Schumi cancels F1 comeback

Well this came as a shock.

The consequences of the injuries caused by the bike-accident in February, fractures in the area of head and neck, unfortunately have turned out to be still too severe. That is why my neck cannot stand the extreme stresses caused by Formula 1 yet. This are the clear results of the examinations we did on the course of the past two weeks and the final examination yesterday afternoon. As there were no improvements after the day in Mugello, I decided at short notice on Sunday to do that thorough examination already yesterday.

2008 Formula 1 season

I thought is was time to give some attention to one of the biggest racing events in the world. Some don’t like it all and others have sleepless nights because of it. I’m more in between and like to watch the races and the circus that surrounds it.

This weekend the Formula 2008 season starts on the circuit of Melbourne in Australia

I found this cool link where you can see all the circuits through google maps. This was the first, but will also be the last post about Formula 1. After this it will be back to it’s normal routine 🙂

I’m a fan of Lewis Hamilton and I hope he will be champion this year. For wich team will you be cheering?
