The secret life of...
The F1 website is running some background stories about the leading drivers. There are no great revelations, but they're worth a glance.
Here's Sebastian Vettel and here's Jenson Button. |

What do you hate most? Duh, losing.
What is your favourite high? Duh, winning. Although Vettel went down the sponsorship line. Geez they trained him good. What is your dream date? My partner hardee-har-har All in all pretty average, although, what kind of absolutely idiotic question is it to ask what their biggest non-F1 speeding fine is? That, IMO is downright stupid, especially after Hamilton's Melbourne antics and their road-safety campaign-amajig. |

Seems like they have trouble understanding the "What was your first car?" question...
Granted, it's a very tough question. |

A fascinating insight into the mind of the grand prix driver. I now know Vettel likes desserts.
Jensons ideal Sunday morning? Laying in bed with Jessica? Err, no, a triathlon. I mean, wow. |

Clarkson's jibes whilst introducing the Stig about racing drivers would seem about accurate then!

If you were an F1 driver's girlfriend, wouldn't the offer of having dinner cooked for you fill you with dread? "Nooooooo, not pasta again!"

Switching the topic slightly, I've been looking for something that herowassenna and I might actually agree about and here it is, beautifully written by Gerald Donaldson.
There's a host of them in the Hall of Fame. There's one in there to please the JV fans as well. |

Thank you very much Jeremy. I'd certainly rather be called a class act than be accused of arrogance! The truth probably lies somewhere between the two.
