NEWS STORY
28/02/2005

It's about this time that the mainstream print media, certainly in Britain, rediscovers Formula One, and gives it the sort of OTT coverage it usually receives when a British driver is winning, or, better still, there's a horrendous accident.

Almost all the main British newspapers will this week issue their own 'Guide to the 2005 F1 Season', aimed, in reality, at Max Mosley's old mucker, 'man down the pub'.

Naturally, there are lots of pictures of Jenson Button, while Eddie Jordan also appears to be everywhere, even though he'll be in Dubai playing golf whilst his 'old team' is racing around Albert Park.

However, it's Mark Webber's guide to the tracks - in The Guardian's guide to the 2005 season, that gives an indication of just how ludicrous our sport has become - don't forget the aim of these guides is to sell the sport to the people.

The Australian, gives 'bite-size' comments on various aspects of each circuit including a description of the overtaking possibilities.

It makes depressing reading.

Melbourne: It's very difficult to pass at Albert Park.

Sepang: There are few chances.

Bahrain: Into Turn 1 and maybe Turn 4

Imola: It's pretty difficult really

Barcelona: Only one spot, into the first corner.

Monaco: Overtaking is impossible

Nurburgring: Only at the first corner

Montreal: The far hairpin

Indianapolis: At the end of the start/finish straight

Magny Cours: Aside from the Adelaide hairpin, you can also pass into the last corner

Silverstone: Into Stowe

Hockenheim: Turn Two or the new hairpin

Hungaroring: Overtaking at the Hungaroring is extremely difficult

Istanbul: I need a few more goes on my computer

Monza: At the first chicane

Spa: The top of Les Combes and into the Bus Stop chicane

Interlagos: Into the first corner

Suzuka: Going into the chicane

Shanghai: Into the hairpin at the end of the long back straight
