You know what we need......
After the borefest known as the Hungarian GP this past weekend, we really need some crazy F1 headlines to get our interest going again. During the break it was the whole JB/BAR situation.
Can anyone find anything on Damon Hill driving for BAR next year with Nigel Mansell as a teammate? |

JV to return. That is fairly crazy, although common.
We've had the big story of the season I guess (Button). Maybe that still has a twist, but I doubt it. Anyway are big stories racing? Back to the topic in hand. What makes a big story? Is it the surprise level, the person involved, the team involved, the money involved? Last edited by Adam43; 16 Aug 2004 at 20:53. |

Adam - all of those factors make a big story.

Yes, but is any of these more important than the others? What previous biggies have we had?

The biggest single factors in a big news story are - how surprising is it, and who's involved.

That would be a good example.
I'd lead with that! |

New engine rules mean teams must do at least one engine change during the race

Bernie to give all his money to charity, but keep enough back to buy Minardi and fit Ferrari engines. rebrand them as Alfas, put a big fan on the back, thats covered with a dustbin lid when not working.

Instead of the Fosters GP couldn't we have some real alcohol?

Indeed...the cat **** GP isn't really an appropriate moniker.
