FanFormula: Week 9. Ten percent.

This week's FanFormula involved an early morning start, some huge hair and a piece of cardboard.
With all that going on.
I'm surprised a video even happened really.

But on to subject.
Here is this week's FanFormula questions.

Question One
In the past two races we have seen four different constructors on the podium. With the recent break do you think that any teams in particular will have made a large improvement or will this only occur by the European leg of the calendar?

Question Two
This weekend has seen the kick off for some of the lower series including BTCC, Clio Cup and during the race weekend IndyCar. Have you watched any of these series and if so why and how?

Question Three
With the Crazy Chinese grand prix fast approaching it will be the first grand prix that the BBC will be showing live and will be in direct competition with Sky. Who do you think the majority will choose and which will you be watching live?

Bonus Question
Vettel referred to Karthikeyan has a cucumber post the Malaysian GP but if you could represent a driver of your choice as a food, which food would it be and why?

Marco Simoncelli 1987-2011

In this dark week of motorsport we lose another driver. This time in Moto GP.

Marco Simoncelli was just twenty four when he was struck by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi at the Malaysian GP.

Marco was really up and coming in Moto GP and was definitely one to watch for the future.

It was such a gruesome crash that Sky news didn't even show it and when I did see the crash in full on Euro News. I actually felt physically sick.
Seeing Simoncelli without his helmet, whilst laying lifeless in the middle of the track is something I will never forget.

Now I don't watch Moto GP very often and I know that motorbikes are infinitely more dangerous then other forms of motorsport but it's still a shock to the system to have another driver die within a week.

I don't know how Moto GP can ever really be safe, after all when the drivers have an accident they don't have a monocoque to protect them. Only themselves.

The scariest thing is that Marco was the same age has me. Twenty Four.

That's no age to lose a life, especially when life hasn't truly begun.

My thoughts go to Marco Simoncelli's family and friends.

In the blackest week that motorsport has faced in years.
