It's one thing Southerners being bombarded with Saharan sand (after all it's red hot south of Derby) but it's a bit strong my Zed getting a coating in Blackpool! What did it get coated with in Blackpool, or should I not ask..!! -
Is he sure.. Christian Horner has reportedly split with his long-term partner six months after the birth of their first child. We reported late last year that the 40-year-old Red Bull team boss and his partner Beverley were expecting to be parents. "I'm very happy about it -- it's going to mix things up!" Horner said at the time. On Saturday, publishing a paparazzi photo of Briton Horner on a walk with Geri Halliwell, the British tabloid The Sun said the pair is "dating". 41-year-old Halliwell, better known as Ginger Spice of the former British pop supergroup Spice Girls, was seen "walking arm-in-arm" with Horner near her London home recently, the Daily Mail newspaper agreed. If true, it would mean Horner has split with his partner of 14 years, Beverley Allen, just six months after their daughter Olivia was born. Raikkonen to retire. Kimi Raikkonen thinks Ferrari will be his last team in Formula One. "I am glad to be here again and I am sure that I will not change again," the Finn told Germany's Sport Bild in Malaysia. Raikkonen, now the oldest driver on the grid, made his debut for Sauber as a highly-inexperienced 21-year-old, going on to win races for McLaren and the title for Ferrari in 2007. His mid-contract split from Ferrari at the end of 2009 was partly acrimonious, as he left F1 altogether and enjoyed a two-year sabbatical with rallying and Nascar exploits. Raikkonen returned to the grid with Lotus in 2012 and, with his pace intact and achieving highly consistent results, he was re-signed by Ferrari to be Fernando Alonso's teammate in 2014 and beyond. But, now 34, he told Sport Bild: "I will not drive in Formula One for ever. "I already said in my first time at Ferrari that this will be my last team," Raikkonen smiled. "As you can see, I have kept my word." Massa on Team orders. Felipe Massa will be told what Williams "expects" him to do when instructions are issued during subsequent Grands Prix. As ever in Formula One, 'team orders' is not something teams even like to admit to doing. "How could we do what to Felipe?" deputy boss Claire Williams responded to a question from British television Sky after the Malaysian Grand Prix. At Sepang, Brazilian Massa at least twice ignored radio calls to let his teammate Valtteri Bottas pass him for seventh place. One of the calls - "Valtteri is faster than you" - was almost eerily identical to Ferrari's infamous 'Fernando (Alonso) is faster than you' of Hockenheim 2010. But Claire Williams initially tried to deny it was actually an order. "At the end of the day, Felipe finished ahead of Valtteri," she insisted. "They were both told to cool it." Asked if the team would be rebuking Massa, Williams added: "I'm going home now. That's me done for the day." It was chief engineer Rod Nelson who had to acknowledge that Massa "didn't do what we would have preferred him to do" as Grove based Williams pursued the sixth-placed Jenson Button's extra points. "The facts are we felt that Valtteri stood quite a good chance of getting past Button because his tyres were about five laps younger," Nelson said at Sepang. He explained that the radio calls were not made because Massa is once again being shuffled into an old Ferrari-like 'number 2' role. "There's nothing else going on in the background," Nelson insisted. "We don't run like that -- it's not like other teams where they have a number 1 driver and a number 2 driver. We've got two number one drivers." He said the idea was simply to give Bottas "a go" at passing Button, and if he failed to do it, "we would have swapped our drivers over again". "We will go through it with the drivers and discuss what we expect," said Nelson. Toni Vilander, a Finnish racing driver and pundit for MTV3 television, said he thinks Massa should have obeyed the order. "When a team asks, the driver should invariably follow," he said. "I think Massa should perhaps have swallowed his pride and let Valtteri through," he added.

Indeed, i sold my zed a few years back and im still here. That fiesta is actually quite a good car. Lad at work here bought a 2013 one brand new last year and loves it. Performance wise its nearly as quick as my 123d and loads of fun. Interior is quite funky on them though! He`s on about having it remapped. Maltune is it? Ford approved or something so wont mess up your warranty. Yah Mountune is Fords go to tuners! The only after market tuneing that wont destroy your warranty Had my rs focus done by them! propper sorted guys! Had one of the first engines built by Mountune in my Rallycross car, built by Dave Mountain himself. Great engine, won many races with it .
