Berlusconi

Apparently Silvio is not doing so well with the Italian people, not for the first time. This leads me to ask, if it is OK for Silvio with all his media interests to run a country, why is it a conflict of interest for Rupert to run F1. Just a question.
Montezemolo says he is "married" to Ferrari and is not looking to move into politics. Being married to Ferrari one would think would be enough politics to last a lifetime.
I'm still intrigued as to where Eric Lux is going to sue Sutil as the event happened in China. I am no lawyer, but do you not have to have some standing before a court, so is he suing in China? Not easy one would think. Any lawyer out there care to comment?
As you can see the news is thin today, but the biggest story for me is Highcroft pulling out of Le Mans. Given that they were the only petrol car to stay with the diesels at Sebring, this is a sad loss. Due to Honda Japan's problems after the quake they say. Duncan is now looking for a new partner. With his track record and driving team I would think manufacturers would be falling over themselves to talk to him.
There is a video posted of work continuing in Austin. One would only hope so, are they so paranoid they have to do this stuff? The main feature is the nice sign and a lot of equipment seemingly going back and forth in the same spot.
In a replay of F1 the V8Supercar Series in Oz has been sold off to a venture capital group, but Tony Cochrane has learned from Bernie and has stayed as Chairman.
Last but not least, I am proud to announce the formation of Motorsport Services International, a full service organization for would-be and existing owners of motorsport facilities from conception through to operation, legal to tee shirts, and everything in between. Each of the over thirty individuals and companies are known to me personally as world class in their respective field, and are available individually or as a team.

Nice

Nice to have a comment from an old friend. Larry Spektor worked with me on the '93 US Motorcycle GP at Laguna. Thanks for the comments Larry and glad you enjoy the blog. Yesterday was another technology frustrating day with the log in page not wanting to load and then my cable/internet/phone went out for most of the day.
Not that there is much going on. I don't know how they expect us bloggers to keep going. MotoGP from Estoril is the most interesting with Lorenzo snatching the pole. Seems he has the Yamaha how he likes it, but not perhaps how Ben likes it. Spies is disappointing us this season, with Colin Edwards on the non-factory Tech 3 bike showing him the way at times. Running his boot camp seems to have given Colin a new lease on life. Rossi is back off the pace after threatening in practice, but Nicky Hayden is even further off. Still, the forecast is for rain for the race, so who knows where they will all end up.
FR 3.5 is at Spa with Canadian up-and-comer Robert Wickens winning race one from the pole. Australian Daniel Ricciardo is not faring so well despite his good runs during Friday F1 practice with Torro Rosso.
Bahrain is hoping to have a race "in the near future." With the FIA sticking to the May 1 deadline that appears to be 2012. But do we really want to go there just because they have had their Saudi mates suppress their subjects?
Indycar is in Brazil. Let us hope the debacle of last year is avoided.
I am pleased to announce the formation of Motorsport Services International. This is a group of over thirty top professionals in all areas of motorsport, from track design, construction and operation to legal, medical, insurance and yes selling tee shirts. Anything a would-be or existing track owner or operator needs to know, even if he does not know he needs to know it. All from one place, and you can purchase one area of expertise or all of it, to suit your needs. Any interested parties can contact me at racecontrol85@aol.com
