Fan Formula. Week One.

Since I started FFF. I have always wanted to branch out into making video blogs.
Sadly though, I never find a good subject to talk about.
That's why lately I have started to join in with FanFormula.

FanFormula was created by Grace Cunningham (@GraceF1Fanatic) to bring Formula One fans together.
Every week Grace sets a few questions which anyone can answer, either written or by video blog.
Grace then edits these combined video blogs together to create one video with many opinions.

For the last two weeks. I have been participating in FanFormula and not only enjoying it but finding more people talk to on twitter. Especially Female F1 fans. (That sounded more pervy then it needed to be)

So every week I will post my response on FFF
So it does mean you have to see my mug on a weekly basis. (You poor sods)

So here are last week questions and my video.

Week One. Feb 5th.
With the first session only a few days away. F1 in the news is gradually starting to build up hype and this edition of Fan Formula will focus on the latest headlines.

Question One
This week Adrian Sutil was found guilty of GBH against Eric Lux and has received an 18 month suspended sentence and a £160,000 fine to charity. However he has since said that his friendship with Hamilton is over and branded him a 'Coward'. What do you think of Adrian's sentence and also of his comments about Hamilton for not attending the trial?

Question Two
McLaren were the first team to hold a live launch event this week but do you prefer teams holding official launch sessions or teams using online/printed launch schemes used by Caterham?

Question Three
Rubens Barrichello has completed several testing hours in an IndyCar this week. Do you think that he will move into IndyCar and what effect will this have on F1 and IndyCar?

Bonus

Daniel Ricciardo joined twitter this week but which current non tweeting F1 driver (Racing in 2012) would you like to see appear on twitter before the new season begins?

So here is my first FanFormula video.
Sorry for being ill.

Dan Wheldon 1978-2011

This post will seem a little late in coming, but without the internet at my new home. I have had to travel back to my old house to steal it.

The next part of this post was written down ready to tell you now.

"It's half twelve on Sunday the 16th of October and I'm laying in my bed writing this down.
At about half past ten. I saw on facebook on my phone that there had been a 15 car pile up in Indycar race in Las Vegas.
From the looks of the footage it was a bad one, I was also told that Dan Wheldon was seriously hurt.
The next thirty minutes was a flurry of trying to find any news I could about the accident without the internet. Twitter on my phone was down and Sky news had nothing about the crash on its sport segment. Funny enough the only place I found some infomation was on Aljazerra TV. (Strange)
Then as I went to bed at midnight, I checked my phone to find out that Dan Wheldon had died aged just 33."

In that moment I dropped my phone and burst in tears and at that moment a little part of my heart died.

I may not know much about Indycar but I do know one thing. That no matter what the motorsport. No race should ever end in a lost of a life. Ever.

Two deaths in five years in Indycar. This figure should of been none.

Any big crash or even a fatality should be a massive reminder that safety in motorsport can never stall or be made light of.

In this dark day in motorsport.

My thoughts are with Dan Wheldon's wife, two children, his family and his friends.
Gone but never forgotten.
