Hamilton robbed in Spain
Monday 18th August 2008
Lewis Hamilton was robbed outside a Spanish hotel this past weekend as himself and his girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger checked out.
The duo, who were in town while Scherzinger performed a concert in the city, left the five-star Malaga Palacio hotel on Sunday.
As they checked out, though, two men snatched a rucksack and a leather holdall containing an iPod from the boot of the couple's Mercedes, forcing their bodyguards to give chase.
However, an onlooker told The People that "the thieves dropped the rucksack but got away."

I guess even the most powerful man in Formula 1 gets dragged to things by his wife.

Ferrari has charged an American company with the task of engineering the best driver simulator in Formula One.
With the Italian team's arch rivals McLaren believed to currently possess the best simulator, it emerges that the New York-based firm Moog is working on building a "next-generation" machine to be installed at Maranello.
Moog is involved in the aerospace and defence industries, making aircraft, spacecraft, military weapon and missile controls.

‘Only one’ driver reckons McLaren not equal.tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.2963832008-08-04T10:42:37Zspeedsense

McLaren-Mercedes team principal Ron Dennis argues Fernando Alonso is the only driver to have ever complained about a lack of equality at the multiple F1 World Championship-winning squad - insisting Heikki Kovalainen is not under any team orders.
Ron Dennis has reacted angrily to claims from former McLaren-Mercedes star Fernando Alonso that Heikki Kovalainen has been cast into a supporting role at the team in 2008 – insisting that ‘only one' driver has ever hinted at a lack of equality within the squad.
Alonso walked away from the Woking-based outfit at the end of 2007 – two years before his three-year contract was due to expire – after complaining for much of the season that team-mate Lewis Hamilton was receiving preferential treatment.
He has now backed up those comments by suggesting his successor Kovalainen was told to move aside for Hamilton at Hockenheim two weeks' ago, adding that had he himself remained at the multiple world championship-winning concern this year, he would have had just as little chance of being permitted to win as his underperforming Renault currently allows him
Speaking in Budapest twelve months on, Dennis insisted that ‘only one' former driver had ever complained about a lack of equality, and suggested that in his renewed criticism the Spaniard may have transgressed the terms of his termination agreement with the squad.

A Fair Way To Assess F1 Drivers?tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.3014312008-08-12T13:59:30ZMisterBen
Assuming team cars are equally matched, one would think the team driver standings would line up if their skills were equal. Talking with neighbours about this last night, a few were saying you can never judge a strong or weak driver by that.
Looking at the current standings above, I'm not so sure.
