McRae?
News breaking is that Colin McRae may have crashed in his Squirrel helicopter with possibly three other passengers on board the helicopter.
Strathclyde Police have said that no-one on board the helicopter have survived, and it seems the hospital service believe there where four people on board. Rumors are that one of the passengers may have been his 5 year old son.
It will be a tragic day for motorsport as a whole if this is confirmed, and McRae has died.
McRae is one of the most naturally talented drivers, with an ability for car control that is far and above most drivers.
McRae’s manager has told The Sunday Telegraph that he had spoken to Colin’s brother Alister, who had confirmed that he was piloting the helicopter.
I whole heartedly hope that the whole McRae family are ok. But if this a tragic day for motorsport, My heart goes out to the whole McRae family.

Lewis crashes out of Q3
Qualifying went pretty much as usual,with all the usual suspects making it through to Q3
.
No the news is that due to a failed tyre gun Lewis Hamilton had a failure of the right front wheel at 140Mph.
This put Lewis off the track and into the tyre barriers, Lewis was taken to the medical center, and then to the local hospital.
The good news is that Lewis is going to take to the grid, unfortunately though it will be in 10th on the start.
So can Lewis prove his worth, he has now had his rookie ‘big off’, and we hope to see some of the trademark overtaking that Lewis has got a name for.

Kovalainen scraps a Renault
Heikki has wrapped one of his Renault R27’s around a barrier at around 200mph.
Heikki admitted that he got ‘caught out’ at turn 7 in Bahrain during the morning session.
“All the safety systems worked perfectly so I am fine, but there is quite a lot of damage to the car and I may not be able to start running again until tomorrow afternoon,”
“That will delay our program, which is frustrating, but the focus now is on working with the team to get the car ready as soon as possible.
“We are already in a good position after running for three days last week, but there are still some important preparations to be completed before we get to Melbourne.” Kovalainen said.
Bahrain is the last official test before the season opener on March the 18th.
