MOTOR RACING – May 25 – MONACO GRAND PRIX
HISTORY
As with several other European Grands Prix, the Monaco race predates the current World Championship. The principality’s first Grand Prix was organised in 1929 by Anthony Noghès, under the auspices of Prince Louis II, through the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM). In order to attain full national status, Noghès proposed the creation of an automobile Grand Prix in the streets of Monte Carlo.
The first Grand Prix Automobile de Monaco was an invitation only event, but not all the invitees decided to attend. Maserati and Alfa Romeo drivers decided not to compete but Bugatti was well represented. Mercedes sent their leading driver, Rudolf Caracciola, to drive a Mercedes SSK. Caracciola drove a fighting race, bringing his SSK up to…

2007 Race Review
Felipe Massa’s Ferrari led from pole from team-mate Kimi Raikkonen who had jumped McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton off the grid to take second place. Reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso’s start from fourth was even worse than teammate Hamilton’s as he fell behind both the…

FORMULA ONE: SPANISH GRAND PRIX
The Spanish Grand Prix has been held, since 1991, at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona, as part of the Formula One Championship.
History
The Spanish Grand Prix has had something of a troubled past. Following the Civil War, Spain returned to the Formula One calendar in 1951, at the Pedralbes circuit, near Barcelona. The course hosted two Formula One Grands Prix, but the Le Mans Disaster of 1955 meant stricter safety rules and the Pedralbes Circuit was permanently retired as a racing venue. In the 1960s, Spain returned to international motor racing, commissioning a new circuit north of Madrid at Jarama, and refurbishing the Montjuich circuit in Barcelona. Following the 1968 Spanish Grand Prix at Jarama, it was agreed that the race would…

Bahrain Grand Prix 2008 Betting
FORMULA ONE: BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX
The Bahrain Grand Prix forms part of the Formula One World Championship. Its inaugural running was at the Bahrain International Circuit, at Sakhir, in April 2004. The race was the first Formula One Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East. Bahrain overcame stiff competition from Egypt, Lebanon and United Arab Emirates in order to secure the race. In the short history of the race, Bahrain has created an award-winning event, becoming one of only a handful of Grands Prix to attract a capacity crowd. Critics have remarked that the Sakhir circuit’s huge run-off areas fail to sufficiently penalise drivers who fail to stay on the track. However, the upside is that Bahrain is one of the world’s safest tracks. For 2004 and 2005…

THE MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX
HISTORY
The origins of the Malaysian Grand Prix lie with the Formula Two Grand Prix, which took place on Singapore’s Thompson Road circuit in the period 1962 to 1965, when Singapore was part of the Malaysian federation. The Malaysian Grand Prix achieved Formula One Championship status in 1999, moving to the Sepang circuit. The Malaysian climate, which can change very quickly, from extremely hot to tropical storm, has undoubtedly influenced the results of the nine Malaysian Grands Prix held to date. Perhaps the most remarkable Grand Prix held at Sepang was the inaugural World Championship event in 1999. Michael Schumacher returned after breaking a leg in the same year’s British Grand Prix. Having looked certain to win, he deliberately handed the race to Ferrari team-mate…

Lewis Hamilton will win BBC Sports Personality 2007
Unless David Beckham manages to find a cure for the common cold, invent a time machine, and ensure that England didn’t wimper out of the World Cup last year, Lewis Hamilton will win the BBC Sports Personality of the year award for 2007.
As I write this, Lewis Hamilton is one Grand Prix win away from landing the F1 championship, and all in his rookie season. There’s very little doubt that he will do it, although whether he will do it in typical English fashion (spin out in both races, but somehow still scrape home with enough points) is yet to be seen. Either way, the English finally have a hero to…
