Formula 1 - Is ex sporting director Dave Ryan dispensible? (the fall guy)

McLaren will be hauled before the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council on April 29 to answer charges that it has brought Formula 1 into disrepute after being found to have lied to the Australian Grand Prix stewards.

The FIA announced on Tuesday that it had called an extraordinary general meeting of the WMSC after Lewis Hamilton and the team’s then sporting director Dave Ryan were found to have given “deliberately misleading” evidence to stewards following the season-opening race.

Lewis Hamilton did apologise on television, but nothing for Jarno Trulli

Ice Princess (2005)

Just watched this movie and when the mother finally turned up to watch her daughter dance my heart welled up and tears came to my eyes. That is what makes a great movie. Never heard of it before tonight so did a little bit of research. Maybe one to get for the DVD Collection

Ice Princess (2005)
The Ice Princess dances rings around most figure skating movies because perhaps the movie... industry is growing up. The focus on skating, on relationships is

Formula 1 - what makes a World Champion?

FIA: McLaren instructed Hamilton to let Trulli pass

Lewis Hamilton (GBR) McLaren in the FIA Press Conference. Formula One World Championship, Rd 2, Malaysian Grand Prix, Preparations, Sepang, Malaysia, Thursday, 2 April 2009 Martin Whitmarsh (GBR) McLaren Chief Executive Officer in a media scrum following the disqualification of Lewis Hamilton (GBR) McLaren from the Australian GP. Formula One World Championship, Rd 2, Malaysian Grand Prix, Preparations, Sepang, Malaysia, Thursday, 2 April 2009

The FIA have revealed details of the new evidence that prompted stewards to strip McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton of this third place in the Australian Grand Prix and hand the place back to Toyota’s Jarno Trulli, who had originally been penalized for passing Hamilton under the safety car.

According to the FIA, in the original enquiry into the incident, both Hamilton and McLaren stated that they had not deliberately let Trulli pass. However, in interview footage recorded immediately after the race - and not originally seen by stewards - Hamilton says he was instructed to move over for the Italian.

Furthermore, the FIA say that McLaren radio recordings contain ‘two explicit orders’ given to Hamilton to let the Toyota pass. Based on this new evidence the stewards ‘felt strongly that they had been misled’ by the driver and team, resulting in their decision to disqualify the world champion.
