F1 goes on holiday

Since the Japanese Grand Prix the Formula 1 circus has exploded across the world with team members and the media taking the opportunity for a much-needed break after nearly eight months on the road.

SINCE the Japanese Grand Prix the Formula 1 circus has exploded across the world with team members and the media taking the opportunity for a much-needed break after nearly eight months on the road. There are issues which need to be quickly resolved, notably the future of Prost and of Arrows but most of the plans for next year are already set and the production of next year's cars has begun.

For the next couple of weeks, however, the F1 scene is going to be pretty quiet.
