1.4 million euro per race….

The glitz and glamour of formula one has certainly once again been confirmed…. If the reported annual package of 25 million euro that Alonso will be paid by Ferrari is anything to go by…..

Schumi not in a big dissapointement

So we all know by now that Schumi is not going to be able to drive due to fitness issues.  I hope that this is not the end of the drive to get him back into a seat. Even if it is only for one more season, it would be surely the greatest show on…
