Weekly round-up 27/01/2010
Here's a couple of things that grabbed my attention this week:
Formula 1
Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg were unveiled as silver arrows drivers to the public as part of the Mercedes GP launch. It all looked rather efficent and germanic with plenty flashes from photographers and ordinary nerks with their pay as you go mobiles. Even though there is no official number one, Rosberg is probably peeved as he is now practically number two. On the other hand, I have a slightly ominous feeling that ze 'Greatest living German' will be quite good this year...
Moto 2
Whether or not you agree with the class, 39 entries for the new Moto2 championship seems very healthy indeed. Last year, the final 250cc campaign only attracted 25 entries, so it will be good to see such a full field lining up in Qatar. Compare this with the 17 confirmed in the MotoGP class, a result of the 800cc formula making bikes so expensive to produce and run.
Podcasts
