A TV ad with a sexy and busty young lady and a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. You’d think it’s for Harley, oil, mechanics, motorcycle cleaning service .. a bar maybe.
Nope, nothing to do with motorcycles. It’s for a hairdresser, and it’s from Down Under.

Spectre Performance has been busy. The team made impressive progress toward its goal of toppling the 400 mph barrier in a four-wheel, gasoline-powered vehicle during this year’s Bonneville Speed Week. Their weapon of choice? A twin-engined speedliner with a combined displacement of 1,026 cubic inches and a total output of somewhere between 3,200 and 4,000 horsepower thanks to twin turbo systems on each engine. In 2009, that contraption walked all the way up to 330.569 mph - good enough to set a world record at the SCTA World Finals, but still well short of the team’s goal.
This year, they headed to the salt flats with driver Amir Rosenbaum at the tiller. Rosenbaum managed to squeeze quite a bit more speed out of the machine, pushing it all the way to 366 mph and breaking three records in two classes in the process. If you’re like us, you’re probably wondering just what it feels like to fly at those speeds with the seat of your pants mere inches from the Earth. Fortunately for all of us curious types, Spectre has put out an excellent video detailing the experience. Find it and the full press release after the jump.

Vitantonio Liuzzi says he would have easily passed Jaime Alguersuari if the Toro Rosso driver hadn’t cut the chicane during the Belgian Grand Prix.
Alguersuari was given a 20-second time penalty by the stewards after the race, demoting him to 13th and promoting Liuzzi to tenth. Liuzzi said:
We could have easily passed him, but he did a mistake in the last corner two laps from the end, he just cut across. He gained around two seconds, and I would have easily passed him on the straight because our top speed is always strong. It was disappointing initially because we finished 11th, just outside the points, but we had to wait for the stewards to take a decision about Alguersuari’s move.
Vitantonio Liuzzi
The move was not shown during the live broadcast of the race.
He also said his front wing was damaged before his contact with Sebastian Vettel:
At the restart on the first lap I had a little contact ahead of me at Les Combes and a part of my nose was broken. So we suffered a lot with understeer and snap oversteer, because all the aero balance was affected. It was costing a lot of downforce, but not enough to stop for a new one.
[I pitted early] because of rear graining on the soft tyres. When I came in the team didn’t change the nose because they didn’t realise how bad the damage was, so I changed it only the second time, after the accident with Sebastian. When he ran over my front wing, it cost me a lot.
Vitantonio Liuzzi
He believes he would have finished closer to team mate Adrian Sutil, who was fifth, had it not been for the collision with Vettel:
It’s a shame, because without the accident with Sebastian Vettel, we could have finished in eighth position. This is what can happen in a crazy race, but I enjoyed it a lot.

No F1 race this weekend but I’m going to Brands Hatch on Sunday to watch the DTM and F3 Euroseries. Are you taking in any races this weekend? Are you going to Brands? Let us know in the comments.

Massa grid error prompts FIA probe (Autosport)
Seems Ferrari stand to avoid punishment here which is fair enough given that ultimately no advantage was gained. Bit strange that it got overlooked though. Kudos to antizyklon, who posted a video of it in the comments here on Monday before I saw it anywhere else.
John H is not impressed with the FIA’s handling of Massa’s start:
Well, if we, the fans, had efficient ways of contacting the FIA, they would have known and could have done something about it before Sunday night.
Pretty amateurish.

The first ever world championship was won on this day 60 years ago by Giuseppe Farina driving an Alfa Romeo.
His victory in the final round at Monza confirmed him as the sport’s inaugural champion. He beat team mate Juan Manuel Fangio by three points. Fangio suffered a broken radiator in his car so took over the Alfa of Piero Taruffi – only for a valve to break in that one.

When the sun sets on a year, be it calendar or fiscal, a team has to face the balance sheet and answer for its gains or losses. Such is the ultimate goal of an F1 team–to make money. Williams F1 is no different and while they haven’t seen the fizzy side of a podium finish [...]
