A promotional stunt for Red Bull in Pamplona yesterday has left two Australians injured।
Sebastian Bourdais seriously gored two Australian brothers, catching one on each of the Torro Rosso’s winglets during a Red Bull festival in Pamplona, but both were recovering Friday in the hospital
Lenahan was gored in the buttocks, while Michael, 23, of Carrara, was injured in his leg and was recovering favorably from surgery at the same hospital.
Promoters intended to keep Bourdais running at 20k/ph, but disintegrated shortly after Lenahan (a Will Power supporter) called Bourdais a “whinging f****t!”
"I remember looking back and thinking I was in trouble," Lenahan said।
"I think my brother and I overestimated Bourdais’ sense of humour

Creepy Old Man evicted from BMW pits
As a recent guest of BMW at the Canadian Grand Prix, pop icon Cliff Richard managed to slip past security and into Robert Kubica’s change room. Unaware who Cliff Richard was, a surprised Robert was left dumbfounded;
“Do you see someone you know?”, Cliff asked.
With a furled brow Robert said, “No”.
“Oh, now I remember. It was in a dream” Cliff answered.. “You were sitting over there at that table, except in the dream you were girl with black hair.. You don't wanna hurt yourself driving.. Make sure you stretch out those creamy hamstrings.”
“Piss off, you perverted old douche bag!” Robert was heard screaming.

Renault Counts the Cost
A recent Renault survey conducted in May, comprised of responses from employees representing a variety of sources including their race team, test team and factory based representatives. 60% of employees divulged that they had stolen from their employer; some justifying the thefts as “justified for lack of compensation for overtime”
Flavio Briatore dismissed the thievery as “petty”, but failed to acknowledge that missing post-its, paper clips and rubber bands only accounted for 28% of stolen items। One enterprising employee decided to rescue an unused J-Damper that had been sitting on an empty desk for over a year, while a number of ‘O’ Rings have turned up on eBay posing as a titanium backgammon set।
Flavio did admit however, that the biggest thing people take from their office is time. “We all spend time each day making personal calls, emailing, IMing and surfing the net for strawberry-flavoured G-Strings.. I think that loss of productivity is a much more substantial economic loss than office supplies".

Quick Nick gets “nicked”
A still inconsolable Nick Heidfeld faced the German press last Tuesday over what he feels was a “travesty of justice” after being asked to move over for Robert Kubica in Canada last weekend. BMW top brass however were quick to point out the parity of the situation.
"You gotta swallow this one," whispered Wili Ramf into Heidfeld’s ear। “You’ve gotta admit, he stole it fair and square॥ Just like you did in Monaco 2005."
“You can jam your parity all the way up your ass!” Heidfeld was heard yelling after the press conference. “I haven’t felt this bad since ‘Juno’ won best screenplay!”

Lewis’s Walk in the Park.
In a sad re-enactment of Anthony Hamilton’s crash into a children’s playground but a week ago, son Lewis plowed his McLaren MP-23 into a Somerset pre-school at 3 a.m. this morning.
ITV commentator and F1 expert, James Allen likened the incident to that of Ayrton Senna’s fatal accident at Imola in 1994.
“It’s horrible.. It happened at three a.m., which is inversely proportional to the time Senna died at 3pm!” exclaimed Allen. “There are a lot of grief stricken children today, which of course is also inversely proportional to the grief experienced by Brazilians after Senna’s passing”.
Anthony Hamilton is said to be planning his check-mate sometime this week.
