I get that, but reckless endangerment isn't what Cottle was charged with (it doesn't exist as an offence in England). The Fun Cup drivers\participants want to file a class action lawsuit as well so I doubt we've seen the end of the issue. Just for reference, the priest who walked onto Silverstone at the British GP a few years back got a 2 month sentence..

He admitted to public nuisance IIRC. MSV termed his actions reckless endangerment in the press coverage.
 
Disappointing but hardly surprising, especially with Dindo and McNish giving up in the last couple of years. It was clear at Le Mans this year that it was his last - they shuffled the pit stops so that he could take the flag for example.

Some people will always say that he won as many times as he did because he was in an Audi but when you look into the detail its clear he more than pulled his weight - some of his nighttime stints were just sublime. Then think what he didn't win - 99 the BMW crashed while leading due to a stuck throttle; 2 years not at his best after the DTM crash; McNish's big crash in 2011... Double figures of wins could well have been possible.
 
Anyone have an idea when they usually confirm the winter test dates? Hoping to get a break away with the gf in the new year and if it were to coincide with an F1 test then that'd certainly be fortuitous :p

Have found these dates...

2015 PRE-SEASON TEST SCHEDULE - UNOFFICIAL
1st February 1-4: Jerez, Spain.
February 19-22: Barcelona, Spain.
February 26-March 1: Barcelona, Spain.

But it doesn't seem to be official as of yet.
 
Could be announced anywhen.. might be worth finding last years thread to see when it was announced before?
 
Yea that's what I thought, with all focus being on the last race and likely for a good while after will probably be a week or so at least.

Had a look back through some threads but couldn't find about when it was announced will likely have been hidden away in a thread that was hot topic at the time! No major rush though hoping to get a late deal or something anyway :)
 
Claire Williams in leaked photos shock!
(Posted in Motorsport, News by Sniff Petrol)

There was shock in F1 as Claire Williams became the latest high profile person to have their iCloud photo stream hacked.

Sources say a number of ‘highly personal’ pictures were placed in the public domain including candid photographs of Ms Williams’ jugs, which she was filling with home made lemonade at the time, a blurred snap of her puppies, a lovely Labrador and a golden retriever, and a revealing close up of a gash – a superficial piece of metalwork damage to the lower rear door of an Italian hire car which she conscientiously photographed for insurance purposes.

Most shockingly, those who have seen the hacked photo stream say it contains several photographs of Ms Williams holding a semi-erect member (of her team who had suffered sunstroke during free practise in Bahrain), cupping a pair of balls (before a Friday afternoon football match she had organised at the factory) and playing with some flaps (on the rear wing of a Formula 1 car which was on display at her charity bake sale in Oxfordshire).

The leaked pictures are also believed to contain at least one photo of a tit, standing next to his team mate Valtteri.
