Roll up, roll up. It’s time for a Virtual Audience

I will be hosting a Virtual Audience on Friday, April 21. As usual numbers will be restricted, in order to make sure that everyone can get the chance to ask at least one question, so sign up quickly, as the last two Virtual Audiences (and the recent live Audience in Melbourne) have all sold out. …

Green Notebook from various taxis

Producing the GP+ e-magazine was a little slower than usual on what the Australians call "Rice Dye" in Melbourne. The Grand Prix had been long, complicated and controversial. The FIA Stewards were still adjudicating until after 11pm, by which time all the stars of the show were on planes, flying through the night towards Europe. …

ALL ABOUT ANOTHER NEW TEAM (PLAN)

People often wonder why they should subscribe to the JSBM newsletter. Here is a good reason why, if you want to be ahead of the news curve in the sport. I've lifted this from this week's JSBM, published on Monday morning... For more information, click here...

I've been present at …

Green Notebook from… Shh! Don’t mention it

I can think of a few ways to get yourself into trouble using only two words. Most of them end up with the word “… off”. But there is another very effective method: one simply says “Saudi Arabia” and you can pretty much guarantee unpleasantries on anti-social media from those who have an opinion. And …

Green Notebook from the Pearl Lounge

The piano is tinkling and there are finger sandwiches. The lights are pleasantly subdued. In the Middle East there is a love of all things gold, but the Pearl Lounge in the shiny Bahrain International Airport is all about understatement. It is a very peaceful way to begin a rather long journey home. International travellers …

Come and meet Joe in Melbourne

As usual during the Australian Grand Prix weekend, I am hosting an Audience with Joe for Australian fans to learn more about the wonderful world of Formula 1. It is quite popular these days with tickets for the Grand Prix having sold out quickly, and I'm expecting the same as they are usually popular. Attendance …

Green Notebook from Sargé-sur-Braye

The 12th Century church of Saint-Cyr in Sargé-sur-Braye is not your average village church. It has both a sundial and a clock, not to mention an automated figure of a gendarme with a huge moustache. He has a pipe in his mouth and every half an hour the pipe is made to strike the church …

Sorry folks, the Audience is sold out…

We'll have to do another one some time...
