Russian Roulette

Max Mosley has said that Moscow is still in line to get a grand prix race in 2004, but that it won’t be Silverstone that makes way for the new event.

Last week in a German court Ralf Schumacher was fined 10,000 euros for running into the back of a queue of stationary traffic on a German motorway. The court dismissed Ralf’s defence that the queue of traffic changed direction twice and braked early for Dusseldorf.

Rubens Doesn’t See Red

Rubens Barrichello has said that he’s not disappointed to be driving last year’s car at his home grand prix, and he’s quite happy that team-leader Michael Schumacher gets the new F-2002, while he’s in the F-2001.
