The AMG Merecedes SLS - World financial crisis be damned, I want one.

I know that you can't tell the final shape or design details from the video of the heavily-cladded testing mule, but from what I can tell from the car's profile, I want one.   I understand that the car will probably be a big over-torqued AMG monster with a major weight problem and mediocre handling, but I am drawn to a modern version of the 300SL . Enjoy!

Scuderia Ferrari - Malaysian Gran Prix 2009- Qualifying Strategy

The Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro driver Felipe Massa explains the considerations and trade offs that must be managed as part of the team's qualifying strategy.  I'm impressed with the access to the team and drivers that Ferrari is providing this season.  It's definitely a step in the right direction.

Scuderia Ferrari - Malaysian Gran Prix Preview - Luca Colajanni

The Head of Ferrari's Motorsport Office Luca Colajanni talks about Ferrari's 2009 season beginning and the expectations about Malaysian GP.  I always enjoy interviews with Europeans, as their candor is remarkable.  I couldn't imagine hearing a US based race team say things like, "we were not reliable," or that, "Brawn GP is in a league of their own."  Remarkable.   Enjoy!

2009 Malaysian Gran Prix Preview

It should be an interesting weekend in Sepang.  Intense heat and humidity have always been a challenge at this track, but the reliability of the mostly new cars in this hot environment will definitely be a factor in the race's outcome . 

Sepang will likely pose a larger challenge to the "non-protested-diffusor" teams, as the Sepang circuit is made up of mostly fast corners combined with long straights.  Any reduction in rear downforce to improve straight-line speed will directly affect cornering grip, and teams with standard diffusors will have fewer options than their rivals.

 Automotive TV, put together this preview of the circuit complete with commentary by ATT/Williams driver Nico Rosberg. Enjoy!

Ferrai Challenge Highlights- Monza 3/28/2009- Day 2

After today's depressing showing in Melbourne by the better part of the F1 grid, (you know who you are). I'm still unable to discuss it publicly without getting upset, so until I can to come to grips with the outcome, enjoy Part 2 of the Ferrari Challenge in Monza from this weekend. Enjoy!

Ferrari Challenge - March 27, 2009- Day 1 Monza

So with today's qualifying for the Formula One opener in Melbourne turning into a sprint to the back of the field for most of the top teams, I thought that we might be better served in checking out some video of the qualifying sessions for Italian series of Trofeo Pirelli and Coppa Shell and Historic Challenge. It's good to be a member of Corse Clienti!

2009 BMW Sauber F1 Preview Australia

More like a project from a first year film student at NYU than a release from a major automobile manufacturer, this video has it all; fast edits, grainy 8mm footage, screens within a screen, kangaroo petting and orangutan feeding.  Oh the glamorous life of an F1 Driver!

Then again, with all of the cuts in F1, maybe its just some footage of Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica working their second job at the Melbourne zoo. Enjoy!
