Headlines Pinky the cow stirkes twice Donkey Gone Candian results found in Rikshaw Valencia: A guided tour Editorial
Pinky the cow stirkes twice Through this week team Renault have been inundated with problems. First G3 driver Scott Webber, love Louise long time... sorry that should read long time lover of Louise Goodman, suffered a complete power failure while testing the car. This was followed within 24 hours by G4 driver Justin Webley being hit by a mysterious bug in the gear changing software which left him helpless in two practise runs. News has reached us from an inside source who gave his name as Christian, who will remain nameless for his own security, that "Pinky did it". He is of course refering to Freddy Van Driver who is known to dress up as a Pink Cow (See what I did there... Red Bull = Pink Cow). This ties in with reports that a pink cow was seen near Scott's car just moments before his power failure. This 'cow' was again seen re-programing the Renault teams gear system. If these rumours are true then Red Bull must be scared of the challenge possed by the now full strength Renault team. Given that Renault are quite far behind them this does not bode well for the the other teams.
Donkey Gone After the recent Canadian GP, Tracy Booth was seen feeding a very tiered looking Donkey. However news has just come in that the carrot he fed to the donkey was the last one Red Bull are allowed to use this season. Proof of this was seen in a recent test run by the team in which Tracy's car appeared to return to its normal pace. This week has seen the team try several options as can be seen in the following footage of Tracy Booth telling some young fans why he chose this weeks engine.
Candian results found in Rikshaw Its been a while since the last GP and some have been wondering why there is such a delay in the Official Results being released. Well dispite what you may have heard elsewhere we have the shocking truth! In our attempts to get you the best news we go everywhere, that includes India to find out about the new track for 2012. We sent a man out to India to see what progress was being made, on arriving at the airport he hired a Riksaw for the 328 mile journey to the track. His 'runner' offered our man something to read which to his supprise were the Official Result documents. He contacted us at the exact momoent that an 'official' explanation was being given. We can assure you loyal reader, we have returned the documnets without even reading the contents BUT because our man had already paid for the full 328 mile trip (326 miles left to go) the runner refused to let him off. So six days later the documents left India first pigeon class and should arrive before the next race.

Editorial
After the Canadian GP I was an unwitting witness to a terrible specticle, grown men drinking beer whatching pigeons fight over 12 round bouts, there were even ring birds (pun intended)with ring numbers. Now while this is viewed as normal behaviour amongst most drivers (A recent poll inicated most of you drink http://www.racedepartment.com/f1-2010-game/57228-your-favorite-teams-f1-2010-a.html ) but for these two to have gotten so 'friendly ' while 'drunk' at such a Mans Sport is not good for Scotts impending (supposed) marriage to Louise Godman. Remember folks Tracy is a dude, he be Tracey on Sundays but thats a whole different story!
James If you've got ime to do a magazine cover that would be great! We hoped you enjoyed this races edition of eXhaust Fumes, you know its all in fun and if any offence has been caused then I am very sorry. I hope you all have a great race this weekend and remember folks...
You can't win this race in the first bend!!! But you can end it.
THIS WEEKS QUESTIONS
This Spains second Grand Prix, do you think its time to move the Eurppean Grand Prix and if so where would you like to see it go?
Canada saw a lot of incidents last time out, what if anything are you going to do to avoid getting reported?
Fuel, is an important part of this weekends race. Have yu worked out a strategy or will you just see how it goes on the day?
Turkey will be re run by both groups at 1 stage.
The last race what ever points you got you will take back you will take back to your group.
And i think this has just been a busy time for everyone, we should have alot of people ready to race soon.
Alright guys, I know it is a bit early to be making excuses for bad driving tomorrow in Budapest, but will be handing one out in advance
Am trying knock in a few practice laps tonight, and my pace around the track is a bit slower than usual because I am using the cockpit view for the very first time... And finding it, well lets just say, a little more difficult getting the car round the track than usual!
So tomorrow I will most likely start at the back. But if I should manege a midfield Qualification, then hopefully the guys behind will be a little extra carefull making the pass, and I will offcourse also try be extra focused tomorrow not to hit the people in the front:tongue:
So long story short, if you see me in front of you or have me in the mirrors, be careful, and I will be the same!!!!
