F1 behind the scenes
Posted by Rod in Blogging at 4:04 am on Sunday, 16 September 2007

When you’re traveling you often miss out on news stories, especially from home.  It’s also interesting see what is big news in each country. In the UK it was all about the tragic McCann’s story and the bizarre focus back on the parents.

One story that I’d been hearing little bits about was the F1 issue with McLaren  fined $100m and thrown out of the constructors champs. F1 is not my favorite form of motorsport, but the money spent and the politics of it is fascinating.

There has been a growing trend for online newspapers to have blogs. Tracking back over an issue the blogs can provide better insights into the story. I found this commentary of what was going on behind the scenes of F1 fascinatingly raw.

Perhaps I should be surprised how poor some of the NZ media reporting has been but I’m not. Have heard “sports journalists” on a variety of local media who didn’t know such basic info as names of those involved, timing, the scope of the judgment (about 3 bullet points) or even the currency, therefore true size, of the fine. They only know how to interview rugby balls…
