MONTECARLO - Photo: the beautiful Charlotte Casiraghi wearing McLaren colours :) (on her dress there was even a big M :), and the future wife of Prince Albert was even embracing warmly Button 'cause he deserved to win. Too warmly lol, I noticed how the blonde looked at him, lol!
Great race, very exciting, if it wasn't for the decisions: race stopped at the end when Button was the fastest one and could win, as he was 1st before; drive-through for Hamilton because of Massa that idiot; safety car 2 times slowing the race on key-moments for McLaren... The cars could change the tyres (so it was a big advantage for Vettel who was in great difficulty, finishing his tyres) and the race, just for a few laps, started again behind the safety car! Absurd.
And what about Alonso avoiding a chicane in a difficult moment? No penalties?! What if was Hamilton doing that? Surely a scandal. And Massa too, should have a penalty, he didn't give space as Hamilton did with Schumacher.
Unlucky but brave weekend for "3 ring circus" Hamilton, could have been in pole position without Perez accident on Saturday. When Lewis undertook Schumacher then he made a gesture as to say, go away you old geezer :). And when you find that slow guy called Massa on Ferrari, it's always a mess. And his accident even caused problems to Button, as the safety car had to slow the race. As a reward to McLaren, Hamilton got a drive-through. It was all against him (he even got a 20 seconds penalty, incredible), he couldn't do anything, it seems they don't want cars overtaking. It looks like a fashion parade with old cars, not a competiton. Look, dear Fia, it's not so good to close the championship before time... Ridiculous!
Solita telecronaca allucinante di Gianfranco Mazzoni (la gente lo detesta e lui resiste al suo posto per anni, mistero), che ci ricorda che "non sa dirlo con precisione" (magari fosse solo impreciso, questi non sanno neanche parlare), bravo sei proprio nello sport della precisione, cambialo. Si lamentano di Falco che fa le invasioni ma c'è gente che non sa fare il proprio "lavoro", chiamiamolo lavoro. Poi la sua solita fase di gufaggio, "non ci sono stati ritiri", passa solo qualche minuto e Massa va a sbattere (guarda caso sempre lui, deve rimanere alla Ferrari a vita), e Schumi si ritira. "Rientrata la safety car"... no. Tutto il coro di telecronisti imbecilli: "il prossimo da doppiare sarà nientemeno che Hamilton!" ...no. Era una Virgin. C'è una bella differenza. Ovviamente poi non rettificano, non ammettendo le cazzate che sparano.
Essendo il Gp di Monaco non poteva risparmiarci le storielle su Anthony Noguess... Ma pensa che la gente che guarda la Formula 1 cambia ogni volta? Dai siamo sempre gli stessi, abbiamo capito. Se c'è gente nuova, lo nomini e basta, se lo vanno a cercare. Ma il Mazzoni, interista e di sinistra, non sa mai cosa dire e si è sempre perso snocciolando gossip inutili ed elogi a quell'incompetente (come lui) ministra sinistra dello Sport che odia il calcio, la Melandri (la moralista che facava le feste Bunga-Bunga in Africa, non ammettendole poi, nonostante le foto). Forse il Mazzoni elogiandola davanti a milion di persone, sperava che gliela desse.
Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings...
Io avrei fatto una doccia di champagne (tanto loro ci nuotano nello champagne) ai principini del pisello di Montecarlo, uno di quelli sta con la contessina comunista Beatrice Borromeo (simpatica come un martello sulle cosiddette o una falce per un prato), quella che "sposerò un povero metalmeccanico", ma per sua sfortuna ha trovato solo un metalmeccanico di Montecarlo.
Te lo do io lo champagne, questa gente andrebbe messa a pane e acqua. PANE e ACQUA. Fin troppo.
A fine gara il genio di Massa e l'assurdo Domenicali sono andati a fare i piangina (da uno imparziale: il presidente Todt, ex Ferrari), chiedendo addirittura altre sanzioni contro Hamilton! Pazzesco. A dir poco patetiche le dichiarazioni di Massa, come al solito, un "pilota"-autista ormai alla frutta, schizofrenico. I sorpassi su Schumacher e Maldonado sono la fotocopia, Hamilton ha lasciato spazio, Massa invece no. Non si capisce se i commissari assistano a una GARA di Formula 1 oppure a una sfilata di auto d'epoca che non si devono neanche sfiorare. Massa e Alonso che taglia la chicane in un momento cruciale, neanche nominati, l'avesse fatto Hamilton sarebbe stato uno scandalo. Vettel ha già quasi ammazzato il campionato, e ci si mettono pure i commissari a chiuderlo del tutto, non vedo che interesse abbia la Federazione in questo. Gara che meritava di vincere ampiamente Button e decisioni assurde solo contro Hamilton che come sempre lotta come un leone. Gli unici due veri piloti in mezzo a un circo di pagliacci.

win a vip weekend speeding at the British race with Virgin
BARCELONA - Photo: Beady Eye @ Virgin radio in Milan.
Great result for our McLaren cars finishing 2nd and 3rd, with number "3 ring circus" :) Hamilton almost winning at the end and Button starting bad but going from 10th to 3rd.
It's the Red Bull circuit where aerodynamics are important, so the result is even greater.
Ferrari fans thought they could win ahaha 'cause they saw Alonso 1st at the beginning, all illusions. Button (with different Pirelli tyres in that moment) overtook Alonso so easily, and Ferrari finished 5th (Pirelli tyres from Milan are not really helping Ferrari). I like Button strategies 'cause they're often different (gear, still speeding :). We like to mock Ferrari 'cause they're in the same Juventus football team family, they're spending everything on Ferrari and the Formula 1 car is almost shit, while Juventus needing money, is double shit (but of course, in history, Ferrari is the number 1).
Next weekend in Montecarlo, but I can't wait for September in Monza, I already have a 4 (not 3) days pass, and let's see which band will play at the Formula 1 rocks Milan.

Formula 1 2011, different year still speeding. And you say to the driver: just drive
MILAN - On Friday 25 (that is also the real beginning of the year, you remember my old posts) the Formula One season starts: the first race (should have been the other week in Bahrain, cancelled due to the situation in the country) is on Sunday at dawn in Europe, 'cause it's in Australia, so we have to get up early (or better: stay up late), as my grandfather used to do with boxing (Noel Gallagher is a big fan too).
Something new is the tyres, the Italian Pirelli from Milan (Inter Milan historical sponsor... the second team of Milan already cheated thanks to sponsors...), same tyres for everybody (so they will probably help Ferrari somehow, they'll surely find a way), and no more the Japanese Bridgestone.
Beady Eye album is a lot about cars, even the title Different gear still speeding.
OasisBlues, as usual, will get angry against the stupid men commenting on tv and also against Ferrari (though they have Manchester City sponsor :) and we support the English McLaren from Woking (Paul Weller's city) and their English drivers (Oasis fans), one of them, Hamilton, has the number 3 (ring Formula 1 circus :).
It doesn't seem to be the fastest car this year, but some sources say they will surprise everybody, because they made different choices...
Can't wait for September, Monza Grand Prix near Milan, also to meet the drivers again, and the concert @ Formula 1 Rocks Milan (last year: the great Stereophonics).

McLaren 2011: different gear, still speeding :)
McLaren Mercedes this morning brought together members of the public to construct and reveal its new chassis, the team’s challenger for the 2011 FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
Revealed at Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, the famous public space that sits on the fringe of the old Berlin Wall, the car was built up by fans and customers carrying components into the arena, where the new chassis was gradually pieced together in front of a huge crowd.
This culminated in our race drivers – 2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton and 2009 world champion Jenson Button – assembling the very final pieces to reveal the completed racecar.
Looking radically different from last year’s race-winning chassis, MP4-26 features a range of aerodynamic features designed to take advantage of new rules significantly limiting the amount of downforce that can be derived from the car’s underbody.

ahahahahahaha Ferraglia dietro a piloti esordienti con la valigia
ABU DHABI - Con il mondiale già in tasca, anche secondo quanto dicevano tutti i ferraristi eiaculatori precoci fino a prima della gara (Fisichella: "80-90%" !!), la Ferrari perde clamorosamente contro tutte le previsioni. Io ne ero sicuro, non avrebbe vinto neanche coi loro giochi di squadra. Montezemolo con tutto il parentado juventino e il Re di Spagna sono addirittura andati giù negli Emirati per festeggiare il titolo... vinto dalla scuderia austro-inglese. Austro nel senso di austriaca, non certo australiana, perchè se aspettiamo quelli, campa cavallo (Cavallino zoppo), e Noel sarebbe d'accordo. La responsabilità principale per la sconfitta è proprio di un australiano, il team manager Dyer.
Ferrari-Ferraglia oggi solito catorcio e con strategie completamente sbagliate, che quest'anno ha vinto gare solo grazie agli errori degli altri o a sorpassi da fermi ai box, oggi non è riuscita neanche a superare Alguersuari (!), e Alonso che non è riuscito a superare Petrov (! pilota esordiente e che paga per correre) per decine e decine di giri ed è andato fuori pista rischiando l'impossibile. Come poteva essere campione uno del genere?
Alonso che non sarebbe stato comunque campione senza i punti guadagnati grazie ai giochi di squadra della Ferrari in Germania, espressamente vietati dal regolamento (diversamente da anni fa), per i quali la Ferrari era stata graziata solo con una multa (come se alla Ferrari mancassero poi i soldi...). Perchè allora non levargli i punti della patente? Più efficace.
Non a caso Alonso prima della gara ha messo le mani avanti come al solito, dicendo "stagione comunque da ricordare"... sì, per il disastro che siete!
A dirla tutta, neanche il campioncino fuffa Vettel e il disastroso australiano Webber meritavano il mondiale, essendo stati durante la stagione protagonisti di scorrettezze tra di loro e verso i piloti McLaren, la scuderia inglese che chiude la stagione al secondo posto nel mondiale costruttori: tra i due litiganti Ferrari-Red Bull, avrebbe meritato di più la McLaren. La squadra Red Bull però è da lodare, avendo la macchina migliore (ha solo 5 anni di vita...la Ferrari è centenaria...) ed essendo corretti e sportivi.
Caliamo il solito velo pietoso sui telecronisti della Rai, Ivan Capelli (forse interista) non sa proprio parlare in italiano, dislessico da far paura... che lavoro fa? il telecronista. Ah beh allora saper parlare non gli serve.....
è un po' come il suo nome: Capelli, e non ce li ha.
Mentre il soporifero Mazzoni (interista) ci delizia coi gossip e il tifo Ferrari "di tutta Italia"... ma sei proprio sicuro? Io conosco pochissimi italiani che tifano Ferrari. Come dire: tutta Italia tifa Valentino Rossi (interista)... non proprio. Basta guardare su Facebook le migliaia di persone italiane che lo odiano. Mentre a Milano il figlio (interista) del politico (interista) La Russa ha organizzato un ritrovo per tifare Ferrari. Sono bizzarri questi interisti nazionalisti... forse lo fanno per compensare la mancanza di italiani nella loro Inter.
E quelli che tifano per altri piloti italiani? E per altri stranieri? E per altre squadre? Pagano la Rai per telecronache di parte? (come sempre anche nel calcio).
Se tutti questi gufi portano così tanta fortuna alla Ferrari: lunga vita! grazie di averci fatto godere!
Ultime notizie: il leghista Calderoli ha chiesto le dimissioni di Montezemolo muahauahuahuahuahauhauha

Jenson Button: fuck! he's got a gun!
INTERLAGOS - I met Jenson in Monza, but he had no driver, he was driving his Mercedes with Jessica by his side.
British Formula One ace Jenson Button last night told of his terrifying escape from bandits armed with a machine gun in Brazil.
Jenson, 30, said the moment he spotted the gang from his car he shouted: "Fuck, he has got a gun!"
The world champion escaped thanks to brave police driver Daniel Toni, 34, who smashed the bullet-proof Mercedes saloon through parked cars to flee.
The bandits struck in a slum district of Sao Paulo on Saturday night as Jenson was being driven back to his hotel after qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
As well as the armed driver, his dad John, manager Richard Goddard and trainer Mike Collier were in the motor.
Jenson said: "We got to the traffic lights. Our driver always stops early. He doesn't pull up right behind the car in front.
"We saw a few guys gathering on the side of the road, maybe six or seven. They looked a bit suspect but we didn't think anything of it. Then Richard noticed one had a baton hanging down from his arm.
"Then I saw one guy was playing around with something in his trousers and it was a gun.
"The driver looked across. They saw him look and they started running towards the car.
"They were quite young, maybe in their 20s. Two had handguns and one a machine gun. It was massive."
Jenson added: "Our driver angled the car and floored it between cars where there didn't seem to be any space. He was a legend, absolutely brilliant."
John said: "He just bashed his way between the cars and kept going. He was almost going over the top of them.
"It wasn't until we got well away from the circuit that we told him to slow down and we all took a deep breath. The car was absolutely wrecked, though.
"It was like being in a movie. That police driver was a star."
Three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart said last night that Button - fifth in the race - could have been the kidnap target of gunmen linked to the drugs trade. Scotsman Sir Jackie, 71, said: "Security issues like this are a fact of life out here.
"Part of the danger is the risk of kidnap. Drug barons don't go out to kill people but kidnap them because they are linked to rich multi-national companies.
"In Jenson's case that means Vodafone and Mobil."
Jenson's McLaren team increased security for him and fellow Brit Lewis Hamilton, with a heavily armed police escort for the six-mile trip to and from the Interlagos circuit.
Hours before Jenson's escape, gunmen took briefcases off five Sauber team mechanics. And Virgin Racing's Brazilian driver Lucas di Grassi was robbed of a watch at gunpoint in his car.

England 2018
LONDON - Also Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton backs the bid: "This country's passion and knowledge for football is unrivalled anywhere else in the world. This country lives for the sport - whether that's in the biggest stadiums in the country, on a freezing, wet Wednesday night in the middle of winter, at home in front of the TV, or even in the playground: we live and breathe football. It would be a fantastic honour for us to host the 2018 World Cup. It would create a huge wave of sporting passion that everyone in this country would love to be a part of. That's why I'm supporting the bid for England 2018."
His team mate, world champion Jenson Button: "England would be a fantastic host for the 2018 World Cup and I'm really proud to back the bid. Having taken part in the Race of Champions at Wembley Stadium, I know that it would be a great venue for the World Cup Final. We have some of the greatest fans in the world and they would create an amazing atmosphere. I would love all my fans to show the England 2018 bid the same support that they have given me this season!"

win a racing day with Oasis fan Hamilton near Knebworth
As part of the Vodafone VIP exclusive Daytona track day, we're giving away the chance for TWO lucky Sun readers and TWO friends EACH to meet the Formula One Champion and get behind the wheel to take part in the Go-karting endurance race.
Lewis will be there to give everyone his go-karting tips and tricks while you compete to try to beat his time at the Daytona Circuit, Milton Keynes (Milton Keynes Dons was Roberto Di Matteo team and ex Inter Milan Paul Ince).
You will also personally meet Lewis, have a "Sun Readers Team" photograph taken with Lewis and enjoy a real once in a lifetime opportunity to get up close and personal with the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes star, who is still in with a chance to clinch his second Drivers' Championship title.
Race ace Lewis began his driving career in go-karting and now he's going back to his roots (and he was born in Stevenage - Knebworth, the biggest Oasis concert) and you could join him.
Lewis Hamilton added, "Vodafone enables its customers to have the best experiences, karting is where it all started for me and I love it! If you are one of the lucky winners you'll have a fantastic time, so please enter this competition. I will share some key tips with you to ensure your team has a good chance getting onto the top step of the podium!"
We've teamed up with Vodafone VIP to give two lucky Sun Readers and two mates each, the chance to take part in the money-can't-buy experience.
Firstly, you'll watch Lewis from the pits as he takes to the track to set a sizzling qualifying time.
Then it'll be up to you and your team to beat him, using your own race tactics to speed to the finish.
If you love motor racing, it's an experience you definitely won't want to miss.
For Roberto Mancini: the winners will be treated to a lunch and non-alcoholic drinks :)
To be in with a chance of winning, just answer one very difficult question:

Jessica in Italy again
COMO & MILAN - Our muse Jessica Michibata.
When you're a tourist you might find people who try to cheat you, for example giving you simple mozzarella at the high price of mozzarella di bufala. If you don't know the difference, they can cheat you. They cheat tourists especially in Venice (terrible thieves), for example with the Japanese. Sometimes I joke with foreign people who visit me, I put salt on mozzarella and say: now it's bufala! ahaha

Como lake near Milan where Liam & Beady Eye always go (and also Button), it's the romantic place of the main Italian love story "I promessi sposi" (The betrothed) by Manzoni (with happy ending, unlike Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet), at theatre in Milan again in December (see here), while in June it was at San Siro stadium
do you feel hungry now? :) That was my purpose :)

Jessica Daisy style, McLaren boys the Dukes of Hazzard
SUZUKA - Lucky Jenson Button has his very own Daisy Duke-Catherine Bach to take to the track with him - Jessica Michibata.
Although his racing car is miles better than the Dukes of Hazzard boys' dodgy orange motor the General Lee.
The Formula 1 world champion took to Twitter to talk about his perfect preparation for the big race in Suzuka ahead of Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix.
You can hardly blame Jenson for being distracted by Jessica in her Daisy-style denim hotpants.
He could do with a bit of luck for the race - he is now fifth on the championship table.
Hopefully his girlfriend's home crowd will be rooting for our man.
But even if he isn't on the podium this weekend, his trophy missus is a decent consolation prize.
N.1 as Button's car :) and orange as McLaren 2nd colour. Series inspired by the 1975 film Moonrunners

McLaren silver Moon, Senna golden Sun
SUZUKA - (Photo @ Spa). Formula 1 weekend is starting this night at 2am Uk time... may Senna help us from above. His yellow sun helmet above, as Hamilton helmet. And both McLaren drivers became world champions in Brazil...
They race in Japan, rising sun, glorious for Milan and Oasis, sometimes McLaren as well.

the Greatest, only with English teams
SINGAPORE - Formula 1 weekend again, but this time we're not going, lol. Singapore is too far :) I'm waiting for a Pretty Green gift, maybe the Grand Prix jacket :D
I've been writing so much about F1, and I can't forget to put something about him.
Ayrton Senna raced always with English cars: Toleman, Lotus, McLaren, Williams. I can't forget Donington 1993, where in the first lap he overtook all his rivals under a heavy English rain. When I was a kid I used to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to see him in Australia, Japan... he 'chose' to die in his beloved Italy ;(((

this is a song by Lucio Dalla (he also wrote one about Milan),
an Italian singer from the same place where Senna died.

Ayrton spoke a perfect Italian language,
this song also says he decided to go away in a land of dreamers.
