Racer guilty of “stirring Daddy’s porridge”

A well-informed Grid Crasher spy tells us a sordid tale from a few years a go:

“During the race weekend, [xxxx] and his dad picked up a pair of prostitutes and took them to a hotel room.

They proceeded to take care of business, and swapped girls half way through.”

Formula 1 stars embarrass themselves in tribute to network

Emotions were high in the ITV studios yesterday, as viewers in Britain were treated to their final Grand Prix filled with disruptive advert breaks (for the time being, anyway). Before handing over to the BBC, however, the folks at channel three decided to have a bit of fun by singing along to a track by emo chumps My Chemical Romance.

While it’s a questionable song choice (is the refrain “We’ll carry on” appropriate when they obviously won’t be carrying on?), it’s worth it to see Murray Walker singing a tune he had almost certainly never heard before, and to see Lewis Hamilton being far too cool for school.

The ‘World Cup of Motorsport’ is a joke

The other day we told you that A1GP had descended into farce. Grid Crasher is not sure what the official next stage down the scale from farce is, but A1GP is there! Britain, India, Germany, Mexico and Canada have all confirmed they will miss the season opener at Zandvoort this weekend, and some reports are suggesting that Brazil, China, France, Portugal and Switzerland will not be on the grid either.

The icing on the cake of all this hilarity is that the Germany team could withdraw from the series permanently after it emerged that 2006-07 champion Nico Hulkenberg is still waiting for the prize money for his achievement!

Team GBR will miss season opener

The Great Britain A1GP will miss the opening race of the season because their car will not be ready in time. A delay in building the new Ferrari-powered car for the one-make series put preparations behind schedule and the team has now confirmed that they will miss the curtain-raiser at Zandvoort this weekend.
