Congratulations Jensen


Jensen Button drove a superb race to take the win at the inaugural F1 race in Melbourne.

With Hamilton coming home in third place, behind Vettel, Maclaren have certainly  made a strong opening to their account for the 2012 season.

Hamilton will not be happy, having relinquished his pole /lead position to Button when he got bogged down at the start. Then, courtesy of the safety car, giving up track position to Vettel. Although he showed sufficient pace in the latter stages of the race,  he failed to reclaim 2nd place.

The annual Formula 1 circus has gotten off to a great start. All the indicators from todays race are that the 2012 season is going to be very interesting.

Looking forward to Sepang next weekend.

Fabrice Muamba – Here’s Hoping for Survival and Recovery


Fabrice Muamba, the Bolton Wanderers midfielder wa last night fighting for his life after collapsing  during his team’s FA Cup tie. He was admitted to The Heart Attack Centre of The London Chest Hospital and is said to be in a critically ill condition.

Shocking when you think how fit these guys are.

Lets hope he makes a successful recovery

Race Is Turned On Its Head


Now the safety car has been deployed we have a new race. Button and Hamilton had just both pitted but now Vettel has gained the advantage and is now placed hard up to Buttons gearbox.

Lucky or what ?

Still Stuffed


Had a brilliant evening last night. Good food, good wine and good company. Thank you Rav and Wendy for a lovely meal. Rav your Chicken curry was, as usual, fabulous. Wendy that beautifully light crumble was the perfect finisher to the meal.

I’m Still Stuffed !!!
