Nice stuff John, especially the first photo.

And enough has been said for Henry, and allowing the sadness to overcome the great racing to me isn't right.

Wow, Ladas are starting to look (almost) modern! Amusing post, thanks John ;)

@ash........this is a blog and therefore in a conversational style...........the dots represent pauses for breath, thoughts and reflections.

As probably the oldest SpeedHunter, not the wisest, I am amused that I can retain a childish quality, I mean how many posts do you see here with puns of this quality?

Stellar work as always John. The Court of Public Opinion is dodgy at the best of times, some places it is downright nauseating. Comment three sums that up nicely.

John, why do you include the long lines of dots in your text? It seriously makes your writing seem like its done by a child.

@Fruitcake - what do you think I could add to what has already been written about Henry Surtees? I watched the terrible accident in the press room...........and was convinced that he had been killed instantly........but I was writing a colour piece on the WTCC so his unfortunate death had no place in my feature..............I did not cover the F2 event, did not know him, nor did I directly witness the incident so all I could do would be to re-write press releases.......not my style.

@eric.........this is not a news feature...........that is not what I do.........apologies...........Thompson helped N-Technology develop the Honda in the 2008 WTCC, even taking a win at Imola but the project was canned at the end of the year leaving him without a serious drive in this year's WTCC...........he is in both the DTC and BTCC this year but could only get a run in the Lada for the second half of the 2009 WTCC, not really a reflection of his talent.

Second shot down... 05.jpg... desktop please! great shots!

By the way, this is a post on WTCC, not F2. The post is also photo-based and event-based... not news-based. If you want straight-up news, go to Autosport.

Tommo - what drives did he loose out on. He's in Danish Touring Cars as well as WTCC
