A brief respite

February 4, 2013 by Joe Saward

cuba_cuba_sign2

It may seem like an odd time to be doing this, but there is never much time off for the F1 journalists of the world. However there are also times in life when one needs to make time, so I am taking the next 10 days off in order to go on honeymoon. I will be back on February 15.

    Well earned, have a great time.


  2. on February 4, 2013 at 1:43 pm Tony Tobias

    Just a thought, what about your Autocar page, I am looking forward to it, Each Week!


    • on February 4, 2013 at 2:59 pm Tomsk

      Thanks for the tip Tony, I shall have a look for those.


  3. on February 4, 2013 at 1:44 pm flashsays

    Have a wonderful time, Joe. You deserve a break.


  4. on February 4, 2013 at 1:46 pm Kevil

    Congratulations Joe! Have a great, well deserved break.


  5. on February 4, 2013 at 1:48 pm Bob Gardiner

    Many congratulations. I hope you both have a wonderful time of peace and tranquility and chance to savour Vuelta Abajo’s finest products.


  6. on February 4, 2013 at 1:50 pm Tim Nash

    Joe – Congratulations would seem to be in order.

    At least you don’t have to spend your Honeymoon at Disneyland Paris as my wife and I did two Christmases ago – serves us right for being together for twenty years and having a daughter who was six by the time of the Wedding!

    I could recite It’s a Small World by heart by half way through the Hoeymoon.

    All the Best


  7. on February 4, 2013 at 1:53 pm mrbeavis

    Good for you. Enjoy the time off


  8. on February 4, 2013 at 1:57 pm Steve

    Congratulation Joe and Mrs Joe. Have a great time.


  9. on February 4, 2013 at 2:03 pm donwatters

    Congrats. Enjoy. Look forward to your return.


  10. on February 4, 2013 at 2:12 pm Jodum5

    Congrats!


  11. on February 4, 2013 at 2:15 pm Steve M

    I hope that the first ten days are only the beginning of a lifetime honeymoon!


  12. on February 4, 2013 at 2:18 pm Scott

    Congratulations and enjoy.


  13. on February 4, 2013 at 2:19 pm FuelGreener

    Pfffft part-timer. ;o)


  14. on February 4, 2013 at 2:21 pm Sean Sullivan

    Congratulations Joe, for all of your tireless work you deserve a break. I look forward to all the great coverage when you get back.


  15. on February 4, 2013 at 2:22 pm Iestyn Davies

    Congratulations Joe + missus!


  16. on February 4, 2013 at 2:25 pm jeremysmith6058

    Congratulations!


  18. on February 4, 2013 at 2:58 pm tim

    Congratulations Joe and partner! I hope you both enjoy the break.
    We’ll all be here when you arrive back, enjoy the rest.


  19. on February 4, 2013 at 3:00 pm Tomsk

    Bon voyage, looking forward to reading what you made of Cuba, and congratulations to you both!


  20. on February 4, 2013 at 3:04 pm S. Bloom

    Congrats Joe! Best wishes.


  21. on February 4, 2013 at 3:30 pm Sam R

    Many congratulations and apologies for my know-all comments on Senna becoming a Force India driver. I look forward to your return. Have a wonderful time!


  22. on February 4, 2013 at 3:35 pm Peter Tabmow

    Knowing Joe, he and his bride will be touring such historic sites as the Bay of Pigs, the Escambray Mountains, etc…


  23. on February 4, 2013 at 3:46 pm kikelunaf1

    Have a very nice time there Joe.


  24. on February 4, 2013 at 3:52 pm tobyhusseyposting

    Enjoy your honeymoon, Joe. Though one must wonder how often you’ll not be able to stop yourself looking at the testing results.


  25. on February 4, 2013 at 4:06 pm Stephen Deakin

    Well done – have a great honeymoon! We’re thinking of you here in rainy, snowy, foggy, France…….


  26. on February 4, 2013 at 4:09 pm simon

    Congratulations Sir.


  27. on February 4, 2013 at 4:26 pm Bodapati David (@indiainf1)

    Congrats Joe!! You deserve a break… we look forward to your return. See you at Malaysia.


    • on February 4, 2013 at 4:36 pm Joe Saward

      I will do that if Air France ever get round to getting an aeroplane that works. Fours hours late. What a bunch of w@*kers. This is why I never use them.


      • on February 5, 2013 at 8:47 am OXO

        Following the report of the AF447 Flight which crashed in the south atlantic, I have banned all my family from flying with them. They have the worst safety record of all EU airlines. Even Aeroflot is better.


        • on February 6, 2013 at 3:54 pm Ambient Sheep

          I was going to wait until he got back before telling him that! But yeah, I thought the same thing. Having become an avid reader of a well-known pilots’ forum in the last year or two, Air France is the last major airline I’d ever fly on. Happy honeymoon, Joe!


  28. on February 4, 2013 at 4:37 pm YuppieScum

    Are you sure you’re not going just to check on the rumours of a soon-to-be-resurrected street circuit in Havana?

    Anyway, congratulations to you both – have a great time :-)


    • on February 4, 2013 at 4:45 pm Joe Saward

      I will drop in at the Hotel Lincoln. Quiz: why is the Hotel Lincoln in Havana famous in racing circles?


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:03 pm Jeffrey Simon

        Is that where Fangio was held while he was kidnapped?


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:12 pm Jack M

        Wild stab in the dark: Is that where Fangio was kidnapped from in the cuban GP many years ago?

        Have a great honey moon!


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:16 pm The Kitchen Cynic

        Fangio?


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:20 pm Chris

        I’m sure others beat me to it — and I can’t believe I sort of know this — but wasn’t Fangio staying there when he was kidnapped?

        Congratulations and enjoy your break


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:21 pm tashydoes

        Must be something to do with Fangio being kidnapped


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:32 pm YuppieScum

        It’s where Fangio was held when famously kidnapped – can’t remember which room number (and Google would be cheating) but I hope you requested it when booking :-)


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:38 pm Skooz

        Hotel Lincoln was built in 1926 and located just a few steps from Havana’s Malecon seaside promenade, this is where Juan Manuel Fangio, the greatest racing car driver of all times was staying at the time of his kidnapping back in 1958.
        Room 810 has been preserved as it was during Fangio’s stay, and is open to hotel guests for visits.


        • on February 4, 2013 at 5:39 pm Skooz

          No, i didn’t know.. Googled it :)


      • on February 4, 2013 at 5:53 pm Mike

        Fangio was kidnapped!!!

        Joe – congratulations to you and your new wife, wishing you both all of the best for the future.


      • on February 4, 2013 at 6:04 pm Stout Cortez

        Fangio was briefly a guest in ’58, non? I add my congratulations.


      • on February 4, 2013 at 6:14 pm Bjørn

        It’s where fangio was kidnapped


      • on February 4, 2013 at 6:23 pm Peter Tabmow

        Easy peasy… that’s where Fangio was kidnapped by Casrto’s rebels in 1958.


        • on February 4, 2013 at 6:25 pm Peter Tabmow

          Sorry, Castro’s rebels… and congratulations, Joe.


      • on February 4, 2013 at 7:07 pm The Backmarker

        Aha! It’s where Fangio was held hostage when he was kidnapped at the Cuban Grand Prix.


      • on February 4, 2013 at 7:53 pm Milt Hare

        Congratulations Joe. I trust any kidnappers you meet remember Fangio and treat you with the same respect!

        Best,
        Milt


      • on February 4, 2013 at 8:01 pm Jamie

        Joe, was that the place where Fangio was held hostage forcing him to miss a Grand Prix? I can’t remember which year or which GP, I just have a feeling (which could be completely wrong!)


        • on February 5, 2013 at 7:17 pm Joe Saward

          Where he was kidnapped. He was held in private houses.


      • on February 4, 2013 at 8:18 pm Etazz

        Congratulations Joe, havhe Hotel Lincoln was where Fangio was kidnapped.


      • on February 4, 2013 at 8:32 pm ausracerx

        Guessing that’s where Fangio was held when he was kidnapped???


      • on February 4, 2013 at 8:44 pm Cameron

        That is where Fidel Castro kidnapped Juan Manuel Fangio while he was in Cuba for a race in 1958.


      • on February 4, 2013 at 9:44 pm John Chapman

        The answer is in “When politics and racing collide…”
        February 16, 2011 by Joe Saward


      • on February 5, 2013 at 12:15 am foocode

        I remember you writing about this the other year! A good chance for everyone to go through your blog’s archive.


      • on February 5, 2013 at 12:37 am Bas

        Are you staying in room 810?

        Congrats and have a great time!


      • on February 5, 2013 at 12:55 am S. Bloom

        Fangio’s kidnapping started there.


      • on February 5, 2013 at 1:31 am Nick the Hippy

        Where Fangio was kidnapped?


      • on February 5, 2013 at 1:48 am Rob C

        kidnapping?


      • on February 5, 2013 at 1:53 am Spiccato

        Is that where a certain famous driver was held hostage?


      • on February 5, 2013 at 4:39 am means

        Fangio was staying there when he was kidnapped by the reds


      • on February 5, 2013 at 5:02 am Alan Perucho

        Juan Manuel Fangio was kidnapped there 1958.


      • on February 5, 2013 at 5:38 am frank henry

        Congratulations, Joe! Was the Hotel Lincoln the site of Juan Manuel Fangio’s abduction?


      • on February 5, 2013 at 6:28 am Ambient Sheep

        The Fangio kidnapping, and it’s from your wonderful article a few years back that I know this. :-)

        Congratulations to you both, I hope (Air France permitting) you both have an utterly wonderful time. See you back on the 15th.


      • on February 5, 2013 at 7:40 am Jeroen Hakkers

        Fangio was kidnapped there in 1958 just before the Grand Prix.
        The night after the kidnapping, guards were assigned to the hotel rooms of all the racing drivers.

        Stirling Moss was kept under guard throughout the night with a watchman knocking on the door every three hours to make sure he was still in his bed. “It was a very disturbing night,” he recalled. “Fangio told the rebels, `You mustn’t take Stirling because he’s on his honeymoon’ – which was a lie of course, but nevertheless was very decent of him.”

        Fortunately, the kidnapping ended well and Fangio never held a grudge against the rebels and even kept in touch with them after the ordeal.


      • on February 5, 2013 at 7:48 am darcia

        Is it the hotel where they kept Fangio …..


      • on February 5, 2013 at 9:44 am Ken Collins

        It’s where Fangio was kidnapped prior to the 1958 Cuban Grand Prix (non world championship). Have a great honeymoon, and thanks for the column


      • on February 5, 2013 at 10:14 am stevesf1site

        I know this without resorting to Google! It’s where Fangio was staying when he was kidnapped……Congratulations Joe, enjoy your break


      • on February 5, 2013 at 10:53 am Steve Ellis

        I assume that’s where Fangio was held.


      • on February 5, 2013 at 11:49 am Aaron James

        Wasn’t it the hotel that the kidnappers held Fangio captive?


      • on February 5, 2013 at 2:52 pm ididnt

        It was I believe where Fangio ended up having a bout of Stockholm syndrome back in the 50s.

        Enjoy (and never fly Air France)


      • on February 5, 2013 at 3:19 pm borduna

        I suppose that’s where JM Fangio was taken from when kidnapped by fellow revolutionaries in 1958.

        enjoy your trip to Havana, and many congratulations to you and your companheira (I hope to be doing the same in about a year).


      • on February 5, 2013 at 5:51 pm petes

        Congratulations to you both.
        Hotel Lincoln? Must be where Chavez had his recent ops.


  29. on February 4, 2013 at 4:55 pm Johan

    Congratulations! Have a real nice time.


  30. on February 4, 2013 at 5:01 pm Jeffrey Simon

    We wish you all the best; have a great time. My parents (Jeffrey) had their honeymoon in Havana during April 1948. We hope to see you at Montreal in June.

    Your friends in Chicago,

    Jeffrey Simon & Marilyn Nance


  31. on February 4, 2013 at 5:32 pm Chris Rehm

    It sounds like congratulations are in order!!!


  32. on February 4, 2013 at 5:46 pm Piero

    Hey Joe and better half, Eau-Canada here, wishing you all the best!
    Enjoy your time in Castro-land, there is some great architecture and culture to be shared with a loved one in Cuba!!
    And the answer to the quiz is that Fangio was kidnapped there by rebel forces in 1958 and was released unharmed…they used to ahve some great racing there…once…
    All the best and congrats to both!


    • on February 5, 2013 at 7:19 pm Joe Saward

      Ah, the story of Eau!


      • on February 6, 2013 at 5:08 pm Piero

        Ah yes indeed! What a “memorable” day that was, the media tent was put to a serious water test!! Histoire d’O…wasn’t that a show in Vegas by our very own Cirque du Soleil…?? Hoipe you’re enjoying Havana…and the missus, too! ;-) Cheers


  33. on February 4, 2013 at 5:48 pm JUKS

    That’s where the rebels kidnapped Fangio.


  34. on February 4, 2013 at 6:06 pm Stuartrav

    Congratulations, this and the job at the oldest car magazine in the world!


  35. on February 4, 2013 at 6:54 pm Malcolm Wood, Antibes, France

    Ah yes, I remember that incident well where Juan-Manuel Fangio was kidnapped by two gunmen in the lobby of the Hotel Lincoln in Havana on 23 February 1958 prior to the Cuban Grand Prix. He had been captured by supporters of Fidel Castro in an attempt to have the race cancelled and to embarrass the regime of Fulgencio Batista. Fangio was held at three different locations, allowed to listen to the race on the radio and was eventually released unharmed after 29 hours.

    Have a wonderful honeymoon in Cuba Joe!


  36. on February 4, 2013 at 7:18 pm VV

    Congratulations – have a great trip!


  37. on February 4, 2013 at 7:26 pm tobinen

    Fangio stayed there at the time of his kidnapping. Whether he was taken from his room, I do not know.


  38. on February 4, 2013 at 7:41 pm José Luis Casado

    Congratulations and have a nice honeymoon.


  39. on February 4, 2013 at 8:03 pm David Rees

    Fangio was kidnapped from that hotel in ’58.


  40. on February 4, 2013 at 8:13 pm GenghisJan

    Congratulations, Joe!!!


  41. on February 4, 2013 at 8:33 pm SimonL

    Fangio was kidnaped from there in 1958 (OK, Google told me!)

    Have a great time Joe.


  42. on February 4, 2013 at 9:10 pm Mark

    Joe, wasn’t that the hotel that Fangio was kidnapped from?


  43. on February 4, 2013 at 9:34 pm Geoffrey Raymond

    One good thing about being British is that you can actually go to Cuba. Not so much us Yanks. I’ve always wanted to go.


  44. on February 4, 2013 at 9:47 pm PraguePeter

    Time to re-run the great Fangio kidnapping story when you’re there, Joe :)


  45. on February 4, 2013 at 10:19 pm Nick Planas

    Many congratulations Joe – hope you and your good lady have a fabulous honeymoon.


  46. on February 4, 2013 at 10:36 pm Cam

    Google is my friend . . . . .

    Source: http://www.andrewbrel.com/havana/

    (In Havana) On the Malecon….the sea wall – looking across toward the Nacional Hotel.

    The Malecon was the location in 1958 of the Batista sponsored Cuban Grand Prix, where legendary Argentinean champion driver Juan Manuel Fangio, one of the Worlds most famous personalities at that time, was seized at gunpoint from the lobby of the Hotel Lincoln, by Castro revolutionaries to prevent him competing in the race, thereby legitimising Batistas government.

    As it happened, the race was stopped after 15 minutes when a cuban driver Armando Garcia Cifuentes, 27, lost control – ploughing into the crowd (150 000 lined the Malecon that day)causing enormous carnage .(40 casualties, 7 dead.) Cifuentes, who barely survived the crash, was charged with manslaughter.

    Stirling Moss in his Ferrari, leading at the time was declared the winner. Fangio was released unharmed the same day, apparently sympathetic to his abductors cause.

    . . . . Those were indeed the days!


  47. on February 4, 2013 at 10:56 pm skullfunkerry

    Congratulations Joe, and bon voyage


  48. on February 4, 2013 at 11:04 pm Trappeur

    That was where Fangio was stayimg when he was kidnapped.

    Congratulations, have a wonderful time.


  49. on February 4, 2013 at 11:14 pm RShack

    Good for you…

    Will you ask the missus two questions for us?

    1. Can we see a snap of her smiling face?

    2. What’s her secret for putting up with you? ;-)


  50. on February 4, 2013 at 11:19 pm Christian S

    Congratulations Joe!


  51. on February 4, 2013 at 11:46 pm David R

    Congratulations Joe. Looking forward to meeting you in Melbourne.


  52. on February 4, 2013 at 11:49 pm Hatguy

    I just looked up the Hotel Lincoln question. Great story. I’ll leave it for others to discover.

    And, like others, let me add my congratulations.


  53. on February 5, 2013 at 12:04 am Folkdisco

    Have a lovely time in Cuba and enjoy your honeymoon. But from my knowledge of past blogs, you’ll probably go looking up obscure race tracks from years gone by, or the house Fangio was held captive in. (I wrote this before I read the reply above!) Congratulations are in order, both for you and Mme Saward.


  54. on February 5, 2013 at 12:09 am Mel

    Congratulations, now get off the internet and enjoy the next 10 days !


  55. on February 5, 2013 at 12:12 am Bill

    Well deserved Joe. Congratulations and enjoy the time with your bride!


  56. on February 5, 2013 at 12:14 am Kookiez

    Congrats, enjoy yourselves and have a great time!


  57. on February 5, 2013 at 1:42 am Sonny

    Have a great time Joe. That Cuba exit sign looks very much like Cuba, New Mexico not far from me. Hope you are going to the island instead.


  58. on February 5, 2013 at 2:22 am Alain Briot

    The hotel page says: ‘It is known for being the place where Jaun Manuel, the famous racer, stayed at the time of his kidnapping, and his room has even been preserved to this time.’

    Congratulations!


  59. on February 5, 2013 at 2:23 am Alain Briot

    Juan Manuel Fangio that is.


  60. on February 5, 2013 at 3:01 am  Alex  (@SoIndieItHurts)

    Fangio was kidnapped there. Congrats Joe!!!!!!


  61. on February 5, 2013 at 3:02 am TJF

    Quiz: Why is the Hotel Lincoln in Havana famous in racing circles?
    Answer: Fangio was kidnapped by Cuban independence rebels, including Fidel Castro.


  62. on February 5, 2013 at 3:53 am chris

    Congratulations Joe! Enjoy the honeymoon!
    P.S. Love the blog and keep up the good work (after ten days)!


  63. on February 5, 2013 at 4:23 am Julian F

    All the best, congratulations and enjoy the break!

    Congratulations to you both, enjoy your honeymoon


  65. on February 5, 2013 at 6:37 am Zdravko

    fangio was abducted there? :)


  66. on February 5, 2013 at 7:23 am Jean-Louis

    Fangio was kidnapped from that hotel.
    Have a nice time!


  67. on February 5, 2013 at 7:42 am gearsau

    Its where they kidnapped Fangio back in 1958


  68. on February 5, 2013 at 8:44 am OXO

    Congratulations Joe. Wishing you both to have a great time.


  69. on February 5, 2013 at 9:56 am Rob Burnett (@RobBurnett)

    Was that where Fangio was kidnapped from in the 1950s? Or well they hid him when he was kidnapped?


  70. on February 5, 2013 at 1:16 pm The Mink

    Congrats! In answer to the Hotel Lincoln question – is it where Colin Chapman now lives? ;)


    • on February 6, 2013 at 8:37 am Jem

      With Elvis. And Shergar.


  71. on February 5, 2013 at 1:40 pm JEZ Playense

    Congratulations Joe! Have a great trip!


  72. on February 5, 2013 at 1:48 pm PD

    Congrats Joe!!! Tip: No photos inside the airport, unless you’re willing to get to know Cuban Inspectors quiestionnaires….Also: While in Havana ask for the “Paladares” (informal restaurants)…and brace yourself before getting to know from first hand the Cuban reality that is not advertised to rest of the world ….


  73. on February 5, 2013 at 3:03 pm ArJay

    Congratulations!
    And well-timed to avoid the silly-season climax:-
    Armchair afficionados falling over each other to highlight the ‘best’ teams at Jerez, based on disparate testing programmes.
    Roll on, Melbourne.


  74. on February 5, 2013 at 3:20 pm HDM

    Congratulations to you both, you definitely deserve us time, best wishes.


  75. on February 5, 2013 at 5:31 pm John ( other John )

    Very best to you both, congratulations! Safe journeys. ~ j


  76. on February 5, 2013 at 6:38 pm GeorgeK

    I would expect some pics of fine Cuban maintained vintage American autos upon your return.

    Congratulations! But pray tell, why Cuba?


    • on February 8, 2013 at 4:01 am Kristopher Elson

      Hello? Cuba is beautiful and full of wonderful proud people and for you to even ask this question I have to assume you must be from the united states. I must emphasize that one of Cubas best qualities is the lack of Americans!


      • on February 16, 2013 at 10:49 am Joe Saward

        Cuba is not without problems.


  77. on February 5, 2013 at 7:14 pm John (other John)

    Hmm, when rolling up for the first practise of the year, you can casually brush off the silly stories clamouring to distract you, with a “but *I* won 2013 already”. Well, journalistic – private WDC anyhow, WCC, maybe we’ll hear! Seriously, to any lonely rabble out there, heck the lot of us, actually, get re-reading Joe’s entry about his stay over the Monaco weekend. _That’s how to do it, boys! :-)


  78. on February 5, 2013 at 11:06 pm verstappen

    You’ll probably only see this when you get back, so I hope you had a good time!

    Congrats Joe I wish you and your lovely bride all the best! I’m 39 and have been married for 13 years now and it’s been more exhilarating than a Grosjean first lap.
    Cheers,
    Kristopher

      Marriage is much like a Grosjean race; most of the action happens immediately at the start before settling down into a predictable rhythm. Unlike sportscar races though, you’re not allowed to swap around half way through.

    felicitaciones perro rabioso y señora, el triunfo de la esperanza sobre la experiencia, como Wilde diría, pero eso es ser cínico como siempre … no te pierdas un mojito en el malecón y trate de visitar Dónde Heminway olvidó cómo escribir ..

    Congratulations Joe, obviously not the time to remind you of what Sacha Guitry said…. OK, just for the fun then…..
    “dans la vie il y a deux sortes d’hommes: les célibataires et ceux qui n’ont que ce qu’ils méritent”….
    In english for your readers “In life there are 2 kinds of men: Bachelors and… those who only have… what they deserve” :-)

    Wish you all the best!

      Poor research. I live in France and such things are still not legal. Anyway, I have just checked…
