    When I wrote a column just prior to this year’s Indianapolis 500 about Canadian-born drivers who’d made the field for the soon-to-be 100-years-old event, it focused on Hal Robson who was the fourth Canadian (and first from Toronto) to compete in the world’s most famous race. At the time, I waffled a bit as to the exact number because – well, you never know. The Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame made a pretty big mistake in 1993 when it inducted Billy Foster as the first Canadian to make the field at Indy because it subsequently turned out that he was...

    Updated: 2010-10-27 05:48:47
    News from Italy today suggests that a restructuring within the Mercedes Formula One team could result in team boss Ross Brawn having a diminished role in 2011. There have been reports in recent weeks that Brawn and Mercedes’ Norbert Haug have not been seeing eye-to-eye and that Brawn might be seriously thinking about retirement — again — as a result. Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher returned to racing with the team this year and his performance has not been of world-championship calibre. He has a three-year contract and has maintained that he intends to fulfill it, even though for most...

  • A reminder: motor racing is dangerous

    Updated: 2010-10-26 13:33:43
    We get lulled into a false sense of security when things go well at the professional level of motorsports. NASCAR drivers crash into cement walls at God-awful speeds and get out, wave to the crowd and walk away. Same with Indy and Formula One drivers. Remember Mark Webber’s high-as-a-kite flip in his Red Bull-Renault earlier this season? But it’s at the secondary level that things happen every now and again to remind us that racing might be a lovely game but it’s still very much a deadly one.
