  1. How he crashed Some new information has surfaced regarding the crash itself. According to witnesses and multiple credible journalists at the track, Bianchi started to lose the rear of the Marussia and tried to correct. Like Kobayashi in practice, he overcorrected and leaped over most of the gravel trap, so the car maintained a lot of its momentum. There is apparently video of the crash, but it's being withheld for obvious reasons. Damage to the Marussia and photo When he struck the back of the tractor, the left side air-intake was shaved completely off and the entire rear of the car was decimated on impact. There was also some major damage to the front end of the car. Photos showing the accident scene and damage very clearly. You can also see a stunned Adrian Sutil looking on in horror. It's quite a powerful image (look to the filmstrip on the left). (Sorry I am not showing the film strip). Bianchi's injuries The impact is estimated to be upwards of 50Gs and along with the extensive damage to the car, there was also minor, yet, visible damage to the left side of Bianchi's helmet. His father Philippe told French news outlets that his son suffered some level of subdural hematoma. However, the FIA and the Marussia F1 Team have yet to give an official statement with any detailed information regarding his injuries.

  4. A man sees a sign outside a house - 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell, the owner appears and tells him the dog can be viewed in the back garden. The man sees a very nice looking Labrador Retriever sitting there. "Do you really talk?" he asks the dog. "Yes," the Labrador replies. After recovering from the shock of hearing the dog talk, he man asks, "So, tell me your story." The Labrador looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the SAS. "In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one imagined that a dog would be eavesdropping. "I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at Heathrow to do some undercover security work, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded several medals. I got married, had a few puppies, and now I've just retired." The man is amazed. He goes back into the house and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog. "Ten quid," the owner says. "£10!!? But this dog is absolutely amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheaply?" "Because he's a lying b*stard. He's never been out of the garden."
