		<description><![CDATA[Fan is short for fanatic. Fanaticism is &#8220;marked by excessive enthusiasm for and intense devotion to a cause or idea.&#8221; Nowadays there is a distinction between being a fan and a fanatic, but the line between the two can be all too easy to cross. Such was he case this week and test held and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week Michael Schumacher set a lap time just 5 seconds shy of the times set by top riders in MotoGP. Schumacher rode Casey Stoner&#8217;s Ducati GP7 around the Valencia track just five seconds slower than Dani Pedrosa&#8217;s fastest lap during the final race of the season. Five seconds off the pace is an eternity [...]]]></description>

He is a fan like any of us but he also works as a marshal so he has a unique perspective which I hope you enjoy reading about. Marshall the Marshal&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nick Heidfeld drove his BMW F1.07 around the fabled 20.8km Nurburgring Nordschleife on Saturday April 28th. This was a demonstration event which meant the car was equipped with hard demonstration tyres and ran with increased ride height but otherwise the car was in full race trim. The team had instructed Quick Nick not to push [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In previous seasons, the pre-European rounds of the championship were quite foretelling of the season to come, especially in the past decade. Ferrari best exemplifies this. Typically, Michael Schumacher would have a 15-20 point lead by the time cars turned a single race lap on European soil. This lead would gradually expand and leave many [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Formula 1 is leaving Europe. You can bet the farm on that. Bernie is increasingly looking to the Far East and to North America. The biggest reason being the fact that these are the biggest untapped markets in F1. Europe has just about been exhausted when it comes to exposure. It really can&#8217;t grow any [...]]]></description>
