F1 and the Aliens – The Saga Concludes.

As we eagerly await the return of Formula One action at Spa why not enjoy the concluding part of a feature that could only have come about during a four-week F1 famine: the ‘what if’ scenario of the entire Formula One field being abducted by aliens. If you have no idea what we’re talking about [...]

Formula One & The Aliens- The Saga Continues

The paddock is silent. Eerily silent. The delicious Ferrari pasta remains uneaten; McLaren’s beautifully functional but painfully uncomfortable chairs remain empty; and, somewhere in the depths of the Renault motorhome, a reporter realises (after fifteen minutes of questioning) that he isn’t talking to Robert Kubica, but rather a yellow wall.
So where are the F1 drivers? [...]

Formula One and the Alien Abduction Saga

Here’s the scenario: aliens from a far off (but for the purpose of this piece very real) planet decide they want the greatest racing series in the universe, and so take a trip to earth, where they abduct the whole F1 grid- even Sakon Yamamoto. Not wanting to miss out on any grand prix talent [...]

Get Well Soon, Adrian Newey!

Badger would like to offer a hearty get well soon to Red Bull technical wizard Adrian Newey. The Englishman spent last night in hospital after a nasty shunt in a Ginetta G50 Cup race at Snetterton.
Newey- a keen amateur racer when he’s not designing world beating F1 cars- was competing in the British Touring Car [...]

Badger, Shell and Freddie Flintoff

Last year English cricket star Freddie Flintoff gave an honest assessment of his skills behind the wheel of a road car: “I’m a shocking driver,” he told Auto Trader magazine, before adding, “I’ve had lots of minor scrapes in the past but the worst was when I filled up my Volkswagen Touareg with petrol instead of diesel”.
