Tram company denies claims of ending Webber's race
Operators of Singapore's Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) system have refuted claims that a passing tram could have caused Mark Webber's retirement from the recent night grand prix there. Red Bull Racing officials said after the race that the Australian driver's broken gearbox could have been caused by the static electricity carried by a tram line beneath the track at turn 13.
But according to the news wire service AFP, SMRT refuted the claim.
"There is no MRT track beneath turn 13 as the tram was running late that day.. When were running to the Russian timetable that particular day."
Webber added that he "won’t be validating my #%^@ing metcard next time I’m in Melbourne I can tell you!".

Kubica: the new Paddock Kingpin
Robert Kubica is swapping his tracks skills for work on a different type of lane this week when he pursues his love of ten-pin bowling in a professional competition in Vienna.
"I always try to explain to the people who don't know bowling, as a lot of them say, 'I hear you are bowling.' and they see bowling like a party game - where you go drinking beer and have fun," said Kubica in a video interview on bowling digital.com।
"I try to explain to them that it is really, really technical and really difficult। You have to have a lot of knowledge, experience and precision. I used to bowl as a way of earning extra cash for my motorsport career॥ That.. And having to perform sexual favours for my hideous landlady - something that is similar to F1!.. Well, at Flavio’s anyway.
"Fernando, he plays also. I always say to him, 'come out and play.' But he doesn't want to because he is shit, so he doesn't like that I beat him...maybe one day we will have an F1 drivers' championship for bowling.. So if you think you’re good enough.. Come get some kutas!"
