Raikkonen’s rally result – rolled Punto
And this is how his rally ended, with a spectacular roll into a ditch. You have to love the crowd, absolutely fantastic and so into it
Kimi Raikkonen in Rally Finland
This is fascinating, Raikkonen says that rally ‘is a hobby’, what a hobby to have! It must be a completely different challange to drive a rally spec Fiat Punto compared to the Ferrari F60 F1 car. Brilliant seeing him in other forms of motorsports. Maybe after his Ferrari F1 contract is up in 2010 he will enter WRC? Who knows, personally I think he should stay in F1 to grab another championship (not this year obviously!).
Lewis Hamilton shows us inside the McLaren Technology Centre
Lewis gives us a tour in this interesting video showing the inside of the McLaren Technology Centre. The first thing I noticed is it is clinically clean. Check out the ‘clear desk’ policy later on in the video!! How can anyone work somewhere that tidy!?! That isn’t natural.
Lewis comes across as a easy going guy and completely different compared to when he is hounded by the press asking stupid questions trying to catch him out.
P.S The video looks very new, I think it was filmed the week after the Bahrain GP 2009 (end of April).
Why I don’t play the lottery..
I found an excellent lottery simulator which shows just how slim the chances are of winning a lottery jackpot (match 6 between 1 and 50). When you run the simulator you will NEVER play the lottery again!
My results were:
To summarise: I had selected 6 numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) and at 1 draw a week it took 3.9 million draws (or 76,100 years) to match all six numbers and claim the jackpot. In real time it took the java lottery simulator a little over four days of processing to match the numbers.
Next time friends or colleagues say they are going to have a go at a rollover jackpot or one of the big Euro lotteries and get all excited about spending the winnings, show them this simulator

LOL. Top Gear’s ‘The Stig’ has been spotted in the BBC Centre on Street View:
Bank Error In My Favour: Collect $95,000
I absolutely love this story. Back in 1995 a guy deposited a junk mail cheque that dropped through his door into his bank account. One of the ones that look real but just want to suck you into a get rch quick scheme.
He was just curious and wondered what would happen, surely it would be flagged as a dishonourable cheque? Surely?
