GH Mumm unveiled this much awaited F1 box “Limited Edition” last month at the Pavilion Visconti of Milan, in conjunction with the 2009 Monza Grand Prix:
Champagne is synonymous with luxury and celebration, and therefor the collection kit in which this bottle of bubbly arrives, is made from exclusive materials including carbon, velvet and gold. Yes. Gold.
It will be available only in Italy and exclusively on order for $7289 (about R55,000)! Sho!
Bringing the oomph and precision of Formula 1 to travel bags, Samsonite has announced its union with McLarenSport to produce a line of luxury travel bags that will not only ensure safety and security but also add style to your traveling….
Just look at these stylish okes!
Apart from being lightweight and durable, the trademark of Samsonite’s collection, the new line of luggage presents a high-end wheel suspension system that absorbs the impact of bumpy ground to protect the valuables inside the bag, quite reminiscent of the trendy F1 racing cars, which protect the valuable driver inside.
Produced under the “McLarenSport Samsonite Black Label Collection,” the bags (starting at $326) will be launched this year at all Samsonite stores worldwide. How sweet are the little F1 wheels???
I’m not sure if you got to watch the Formula 1 this weekend? It was awesome! It was raining! And there were so many mishaps in Shanghai that four contenders didn’t even finish the race!
He did it in the wet for Toro Rosso at Monza last year. Now Sebastian Vettel has done it in the wet for Red Bull in China. Ze young German has scored the team’s maiden win after a rain-drenched Chinese Grand Prix, with team mate Mark Webber following him home in second.
Outpaced by the Red Bull cars, the Brawns of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello had to find some kind of joy with third and fourth places. Boohoo!
Take a look at some of the action starting with the drama of Kubica running into and up the rear of Trulli’s Toyota:
Piquet’s car snaps sideways and careers off, destroying a sign and the car’s nose:
Having been in sixth place, Sutil’s car gets out of shape and pitches him head first into the tyre wall:
Massa seems to suffer mechanical woes and grinds to a halt midway round the track:
Now thats action! Yeah!
As the week winds up, I’m preparing to watch the boys in red kick some black and silver ass this weekend. If you’re on the same team, this should get you all revved up!
Shot way back in 1997, Shell used this video to push the boundaries of technical innovation with a groundbreaking display of courage and ability deep in the Mojave Desert. Formula One fans (regardless of who you support) and the general public were united in their appreciation of awesome refuelling advert!
Never before in the history of Formula One racing has a new set of regulations entailed so many technical changes. The cars not only look very different, they also behave much differently and demand more attention from the driver.
Watch this video sent in by The Stuntman to understand the changes and how it’s going to make F1 more exciting in the year ahead…
Also, be sure to enhance your viewing experience of the first race (Australia) this weekend with Live Timing. This nifty feature on the F1 web site gives you amazing statistics, times and race detail on all the drivers and cars LIVE during the race. I don’t know how I ever lived without it!
In the mean time, here’s a split view of how my teams car has changed since last year. Note the new mirror position, larger front wing and narrow rear wing:
Below is a video of Ayrton Senna da Silva (Mar 21, 1960 – May 1, 1994) racing around the Kyalami circuit. Check out the OLD Yellow Pages advertising on the main straight!!!
The Brazilian race car driver and three-time Formula One world champion was killed while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and is the most recent Grand Prix driver to die at the wheel of a Formula One car.
Something I bet you NEVER knew: After Senna’s death it was discovered that he had donated millions of dollars of his personal fortune (estimated at $400 million at the time) to children’s charities, a fact that during his life he had kept secret. How Noble!
