I’ve not written much about F1 this season, not in comparison to the previous years - probably down to a general downturn in the number of posts I’ve written and also due to David Coulthard’s retirement.

I’ve still watched all the races, but nothing has really motivated me enough to write about it!

This week has been different though.

Firstly we had the horrendous accident which Felipe Massa endured during qualifying last Saturday - and by horrendous, I mean the outcome of the crash as at the time it was quite undramatic.

There is a rather nifty idea in the pipeline to create a special portrait of Michael Jackson in recognition of his life. This is the official blurb :

We need your help. If enough people participate, there will be an amazing interactive portrait of Michael Jackson created by celebrity artist David Ilan. It is free and very cool. Please vote “yes” and spread the word. Please click here.

If you are so inclined to help this project off the ground then please click the above link and get involved.
