Luca Montezemolo test drives Ferrari F10

Sure! Ferrari’s qualifying performance at the Spanish Grand Prix at circuit de Catalunya was not what Ferrari or the fans expected. But was it bad enough for Ferrari F1 supremo, Luca de Montezemolo to take matters into his own hands?

Luca de Montezemolo is not short of drivers under contract who can take a Ferrari around a circuit. With Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Giancarlo Fisichella, Luca Badoer, Marc Gené and newest addition Jules Bianchi all ready to make that happen.

The Ferrari boss however took matters into his own hands by taking to the virtual Catalunya circuit in Ferrari’s newest (and considered the industry’s best) Formula 1 simulator in Maranello.

Present with Luca, was Ferrari test driver Marc Gene who was said to have given Montezemolo pointers on how to eek out a few extra tenths around the Spanish track.

No times however were revealed, but as long as Monte didn’t put another Ferrari in the sand trap like he did at the Ferrari World Finals in Spain earlier this year, we’re all for it!!!

Ferrari are on an “aggressive” F10 car development plan, but seeing Luca in the simulator brings up scenes from Star Wars where Darth Vader informs his general that “the emperor will personally oversee the construction of the death star” (in this case Ferrari F10) comes to mind.

Forza Ferrari!

Liverpool Legend Ian Rush Set To Hold Football Clinic in Jakarta

Since retiring nearly a decade ago as one of the English game’s top strikers, Welsh football legend Ian Rush has taken it upon himself to spread his knowledge of the game to young players.

Over the weekend, kids in Jakarta will have a chance to learn first-hand tips from the Hall of Fame footballer during a series of programs supported by the British Chamber of Commerce.

Rush, who will be in Jakarta on Saturday and Sunday, will hold coaching clinics and take part in activities under the British Chamber of Commerce’s “Giving Kids a Sporting Chance” community program.

Around 300 kids from the ages of 7 to 10 are expected to attend the event, which will also benefit a number of causes, including environmental projects and children’s education.

The event will also feature teams from the BritCham/Mama Sayang football league and street children from the KDM Green Project.

KDM is a nongovernmental organization that collects and recycles materials from the British Embassy and uses the funds to support and educate children.

Over the last six months, more than 1,500 children have been part of the “Giving Kids a Sporting Chance” program, with BritCham arranging for nearly all of the kids to attend this season’s closing event at Soemantri Brojonegoro Stadium, Jakarta, on Saturday.

Rush’s appearance is a joint initiative involving BritCham and Permata Bank.

“Apart from giving kids a special memory, our goal is to make sure that Ian goes back to [the United Kingdom] and tells everyone what a great and happening place Indonesia is,” BritCham executive director Chris Wren said in a statement.

One of the Premier League’s top strikers during the 1980s and ’90s, Rush will forever be linked to Liverpool, where he had two stints from 1980-87 and 1988-96. He also had spells at seven other clubs, including a season with Italian club Juventus in 1987-88.

As a member of the Wales national team, Rush earned 73 caps and scored 28 goals.

He last saw action for Sydney Olympic in the Australian League before he retired in 2000. In 2006, Rush was inducted to the English Football Hall of Fame.
