When it comes to F1, I'm a Kimi Räikkönen fan. I like the way he races, but more than that, I like the fact that in a world of vanilla, politically correct, corporately groomed race drivers, Kimi is a bit of a throwback. Sure, his monotone answers can be a bit dull and he may be an arrogant dick in real life, but how can you not like a guy who gives Martin Brundle this answer when asked why he missed a presentation where Pele was giving M. Schumacher some sort of award?
So it's Thursday and all of a sudden I get a call from my compadre Mike Beeny. "Hey, I'm going to come down to Calspeed tomorrow so we can test this weekend." Cool, I need the seat time before the Supernats and I've been itching to try out my new Contour HD helmet cam. Sure, it's a bit last minute, but my schedule is nothing if not flexible.
So we spent Saturday and Sunday beating around Grande clockwise. It's been about 20 months since I've driven Calspeed and I swear it's gotten substantially bumpier. I think my brain may have partly liquefied from bouncing around inside my skull. So I played with my new toy then popped open iMovie for the first time ever (in about 10 years as a Mac user) and threw together a video. Look for a semi-in depth review of both the Contour HD and iMovie sometime this week. In the meantime, enjoy my amateur hour first movie.
Here's some nice footage of Vitantonio Liuzzi chasing Michael Schumacher. At first it looks like Liuzzi is going to have himself some Bratwurst for lunch, but then Schuey turns it up a bit. I guess Liuzzi had to settle for pasta. Great footage, horrible music.
Rumors of Michael Schumacher's possible participation in the 2009 SKUSA Supernationals have been making the rounds for the past month or so. While it may seem farfetched, our covert operative tells us there may be some truth to the rumor. This video shows the Schu doing some shifter driving at Lonato ostensibly preparing for his aborted F1 comeback. Or is he really brushing up for the biggest kart race on the planet?
