In the first video, Sebastian Vettel explains the 2009 Formula 1 rule changes with the assistance of some pretty wicked awesome animations. The coolest new rule allows for regenerative braking system (called KERS – kinetic energy recovery systems) utilizing a battery to store the energy created when braking. This system will give each driver a 6.5 seconds boost of 82hp per lap! The second video is similar to the first but incorporates some of the F1 drivers (Lewis Hamilton) and their thoughts on the upcoming changes.

WoW!! This is clearly a sign of the tough economic times ahead when a leading global auto maker like Honda pulls out of Formula 1. They are not just looking to take a year OFF, they are DONE, they want out and are even going as far as looking for a buyer?

Honda’s president and CEO Takeo Fukui said, “We, Honda Motor Co. Ltd., have come to the conclusion that we will withdraw from all Formula One activities, making 2008 the last season of participation.

Honda, which spent more than £300m a year on F1, said it would also no longer supply the sport with engines.

One of Bernie Ecclestone’s 3 daughters Tamara Ecclestone, 25, has enjoyed piggy backing on Daddy’s powerful F1 Boss status, to develop a modeling career and has apparently become an F1 TV host. Somehow this busy young lady devotes her free time to raise awareness for PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals). This way she can actually feel comfortable when saying that she is doing something with her life outside of piggy backing on Daddy’s powerful connections. I don’t buy this bullshit for a second, and neither should you. Enjoy all the pics I’ve included
