It’s not been the best week in Motor racing.
The tragic news of Henry Surtees who was killed at Brands Hatch last week, and also the injury to Felipe Massa who was struck by an object during Qualifying on Saturday.
My thoughts go out to the family of Henry Surtees in these difficult times, and also I would like to wish Felipe Massa a speedy recovery.
Normally when I blog here, I usually dish out the dirt on drivers who I think are rubbish, and take the piss out of some race situation. This week I’ll just say how well McLaren have worked to get back in the season to take their first win this year, lets see you guys stir up the Championship, as at this time it can still go either way.
And now to a few FF1GP related matters.
Renault.
Late news has reached me that Renault have been banned from the European Grand Prix in Valencia. This was down to the wheel coming off after Fernando Alonso’s pit stop. So if Renault’s appeal is not successful, anyone with Renault or their two drivers will not score any points in the next grand prix.
Felipe Massa
I’m afraid no points to anyone who had Felipe Massa in their teams for this race, except to the 2 teams who correctly predicted Felipe Massa as a “DNF”. As the FF1GP rules state, prediction points for DNF’s are awarded since Felipe Massa did take part in Qualifying.
However we don’t know when Felipe Massa will return to racing. I’ll write a blog about this nearer the time of the next grand prix, when we all know what’s happening, but in the mean time, get well Felipe Massa!
See you all in 4 weeks time, and enjoy the break.
