F1 update between races
It’s another week until the Hungarian Grand Prix, but a lot is happening in the world of Formula One:
- Following the heated interchange before they took to the podium in Germany last weekend, “Fernando Alonso has apologised to Felipe Massa for accusing the Brazilian of instigating contact with him when he passed him for the lead of the European Grand Prix with four and a half laps remaining.” [source: ITV-F1]

Toro Rosso has lost their Speed
Scott Speed has been given the boot by STR:
SPEEDtv.com has learned that Scott Speed will be replaced — immediately — on the Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 team following a stormy weekend at the Nurburgring.A source inside the Red Bull-sponsored team confirmed that Speed got his walking papers Monday after a physical confrontation with team manager Franz Tost. German Sebastian Vettel is the likely choice to replace the young American.

A “physical confrontation” – yeah, there’s a good professional way to behave! The same SpeedTV article says “After spinning out of last Sunday’s German Grand Prix, along with six other drivers during a sudden downpour at the ‘Ring, Speed and Tost got into a shouting, then shoving match.”
I’m guessing he’s not likely to find another F1 seat any time soon.

LiveJournal is down
From the LJ status site:
LiveJournal is down. There has been a power outage at our data center. We are working as quickly as possible to restore service.

10:48pm GMT = 6:48pm EDT (i.e. my local time) = about 1.5 hours it’s been down so far – that teenage angst must be really building up out there!
