Not sure if anyone has seen this, but James Allen might finally have found the right medium for his reporting.

I've been reading it for the past couple of weeks and have been very impressed.

Never quite understood this. Why is it a "ferrari track"? The cars changes enough each year that no one car could ever be consistently particular to a certain track.

I can understand the logic of "power" tracks like Monza *favouring* those with higher bhp engines (the top manufacturers tend to extrack more than lowly teams for example and Ferrari were always a top team etc.), but other than that I don't see it.

In other words, tracks favour the teams that have the best car for that track. Last week at Melbourne that was Brawn and so on.

Yup, been following it as well. Rather good.

Laughed out loud the other day when JA was reporting on the scrum outside the Maclaren office and included photos. He added a comment something along the lines of "...before anyone asks, the attractive woman is a reporter with an Italian TV station...".

Isn't this something to do with the Ferraris having a longer wheelbase ?

He's a genuine sore loser that one...
He didn't lose that championship in Hungary. He lost it in his head way before that...
