Something about another, lesser racing series
Business writer Dick Barron (he blogs here) is our resident Formula One expert. Dick has said that F1 is a big deal everywhere else in the world. Sort of like soccer, I guess.
He also has asked that we mention F1 from time to time, so here we go:
The F1 season kicked off Sunday in Australia, and seven-time (and defending) champ Michael Schumacher didn't win. (He got rear-ended and spun and finished 18th out of 20th.)
That's about all I know about F1. That, and it's pretty. And it's not NASCAR.
For more on the race, go here or here or here.
Your winner: Giancarlo Fisichella of Italy, who drives for Renault. I'll see if I can find Dick, who could explain what all of this means.
