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

I have just learned that Montreal has been dropped from the F1 2009 calendar!

It was just announced that the Canadian Grand Prix which takes place in ‘hot as hell’ June in Montreal, QC (Canada) has been removed from the 2009 F1 Season Circuit. This was just announced today Tuesday October 7, 2008, by the International Automobile Federation. This will be the first time since 1987 that Canada will not host a Formula One race!

Sebastian Vettel probably had a better Sunday than you. At the age of 21 years and 73 days, he has become the youngest driver to ever win a Formula One race, in F1′s 59 year history. At a rain soaked race in Monza, Italy, right in Ferrari’s backyard, Toro Rosso driver Vettel took pole, drove phenomenally, and finished the race 12.5 seconds ahead of second place Heikki Kovalainen’s McLaren.

Just because Michael Schumacher stopped racing for the Ferrari Formula 1 team doesn’t mean that he is far removed from Ferrari future developments!

Schumacher was involved in the testing and tweaking of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Apparently his advice was extremely valuable because Ferrari had also asked him to be involved with the development of the upcoming Ferrari California GT.

Lewis Hamilton has been promised a $4 million McLaren supercar for free – if he wins the world titles this year. The 23-year-old British driver told The Sun newspaper that he first clapped eyes on the ultra-rare McLaren LM in the team’s F1 factory ten years ago.

“When I first went to McLaren it was there and I fell in love with it,” he said of the orange LM, one of only five such cars in the world. Dennis, 60, says Hamilton can have the car if he wins the 2008 title, and McLaren is crowned constructors’ champion.

“Fortunately, our deal gives me a bit of time to save up!” Dennis joked.

Hamilton currently leads the drivers’ title from Kimi Raikkonen by three points, while McLaren sits five points ahead of BMW-Sauber in the teams’ standings. (GMM)

At the recent 2008 Geneva Auto Show, Mercedes unveiled the 2 AMG models to be used as safety cars for the upcoming F1 season. This is the 8th generation of safety car since 1996 when AMG started being the official F1 supplier.

Two different cars are used, each with a distinct purpose. One is usually a coupe that sits (idling the whole time, with driver Bernd Maylander inside in full race gear, air conditioning blasting) on the side of the race track waiting to storm out anytime there is a yellow flag and all the race cars have to be speed-limited and coast around behind it for a couple of laps. The other car is a station wagon that drives behind the cars for lap 1, and comes out like an ambulance when there is a severe crash.

This year, instead of a traditional coupe, the safety car is based on a convertible – an AMG SL63 replaces the CLK 63 used in 2006-07. This SL is a good 480 lbs lighter, thanks to a fixed roof and generous helpings of carbon fiber. Other significant upgrades include big carbon ceramic brakes, better cooling, a roll bar, racing seats, four-point harnesses, as well as redesigned front and rear fascias.

The medical car is a C63 AMG Estate, kitted with a bunch of sophisticated emergency safety equipment. It is always occupied by the same driver, and co-driver (both physicians) for every race. There are 2 additional medical personnel that ride in the back.

Both cars feature the venerable 6.2L AMG V8 – the SL coupe with 525 horsepower, and
the wagon with 457 hp. Both cars also feature dash mounted tv screens, so occupants can watch the race closely (without commercials) while parked trackside.

Another exciting season of Formula 1 kicks off in Australia next weekend.
