While I’m on the subject of F1 in the media, the written press shouldn’t get off without a mention either.

Newspaper coverage is usually confined to a page at most after each race, but the current situation has allowed them to print a whole lot more - the usual sensationalist stuff which has only a rare semblence to fact.  But they are the tabloids and that’s what they do so we can’t blame them for that.

Given that I like to get the lowdown on the ins and outs of the sport, I always eagerly await the next issue of F1 Racing magazine.  The issue will be read from cover to cover and all devoured in a day or two.

If you are a regular visitor then you have probably grasped the fact that I’m an F1 fan.

I’m not a huge supporter of a particular team, and while it is true that of the current drivers I favour David Coulthard, I’m normally happy enough that the best driver on the day has won - mainly because I know DC has little chance of winning at the moment!

Formula 1 gets a lot of stick from viewers that it is boring, the races are processional with overtaking a rarity and I can see their point - a race without anyone overtaking each other is a bit like a football match without any goals, or a rugby match without any tries.

Well, I was wrong - they played their hearts out and were incredibly unlucky not to be taking a lead into the second leg in a couple of week’s time.

I didn’t see much of the first half, but if it was anything like the second then they were by far the better team and deserved to have won the game.

As it is, it’s going to be a nervy game over in Ukraine in two week’s time.  A couple of year’s ago Dnipro managed a 0-0 draw with Hibs in the first leg and then ended up beating them 5-1 back in the Ukraine so it’s not going to be all plain sailing!  And apparently the team they have now is even better than the team they had back then…

Since I was a kid, I’ve supported Aberdeen - I haven’t got a clue why because I couldn’t really live any further away from there!

At primary school this wasn’t really a problem, as they were going through a bit of a golden era and won more than their fair share of trophies.  But come secondary school, Alex Ferguson had set sail to Manchester United and Aberdeen were left in the doldrums - bad times.

It’s not just me, it seems everybody and everything loves the Apple MacBook Pro!
