F1 Power Rankings: Bahrain Grand Prix
Somehow, someway the 2012 Formula One World Championship will race at the Bahrain International Circuit for the Bahrain Grand Prix. After last year’s race cancellation as a result of the “Arab Spring” riots, the race was back on the calendar but was almost cancelled again because of violence and protests in the country. I think most of the F1 media and bloggers are a little surprised that the race is going forward but when there is money and commercial interests involved, we shouldn’t be shocked.
After last weekend’s dominant performance by Mercedes which included Schumacher’s fastest time in the 2nd practice, Rosberg’s pole, a front-row lockout and Rosberg’s maiden win, it looks as though they’ll be a contender on Tilke track this season. However, those McLarens still look fast and will be a threat to win as well. Continue reading

The World of Lost Cell Phones (Infographic)
Ever lose your cell phone? I think just about everyone has lost their phone (or misplaced it so badly that you think you’ve lost it) at least once. And while we’re all used to Facebook status updates along the lines of “lost my phone at the bar last night fuck!!!” there are lots of places where it’s more common to lose your phone. For that info and more, we have a handy infographic after the jump. Continue reading
F1 Chinese GP: A First Time For Everything
Having put in 110 starts so far in his F1 career, it seemed as though that Nico Rosberg’s claim to fame would be being the son of 1982 World Drivers’ Champion Keke Rosberg and being high on the list of most starts without a win. In race weekend #111, Nico managed to not only secure his first pole position in dominant fashion but scored an emphatic victory for his first Formula One Grand Prix win. Continue reading
