Coulthard’s Red Bull auctioned on eBay |
 |
A lucky enthusiast has bought themselves a slice of Formula One history after
snapping up the Red Bull driven by David Coulthard at the 2007 British Grand
Prix on website eBay for €210,050. The online auction was held by the team on
Sunday night in aid of the Wings for Life charity, a foundation set up to fund
research into spinal injuries.
The RB3 went under the hammer with its special ‘Faces for Charity’ livery, which
the team ran during last year's Silverstone event. More than 50,000 Formula One
fans donated money in exchange for their photographs becoming part of a huge
collage which covered the car’s bodywork. The car’s new owner has chosen to
remain anonymous.

Heidfeld: BMW Sauber have taken 'a huge leap' |
Nick Heidfeld has hailed BMW Sauber’s progress after their strong performance
in Sunday’s Malaysian Grand Prix. While team mate Robert Kubica brought his
F1.08 home second, the Pole’s best-ever F1 result, Heidfeld scored his and the
team’s maiden fastest lap on his way to sixth place.
Based on BMW Sauber’s modest showings in pre-season testing, few had expected
them to be able to challenge the two top teams, and given their tally of 19
points from the first two races - nine more than in the opening two rounds of
2007 - even Heidfeld admitted he was surprised at their improvement.
"I didn't expect that we would be able to match the pace of the McLarens in
Malaysia, and even be slightly faster than them in the closing stages of the
race,” Heidfeld told BMW Sauber’s official website. “Compared to the off-season
tests, we have made a huge leap."
Starting fifth on the grid, Heidfeld’s race was compromised early on by a
first-corner tussle with Toyota’s Jarno Trulli. However, the German fought back,
pulling off arguably the best passing move of the afternoon, and then clocking
the fastest lap on his penultimate tour of Sepang.
"Overtaking Alonso and Coulthard at the same time, in the opening stages of the
race, was really big fun," the 30-year old admitted. "For me, this was the
crucial move on the way to securing the best possible result after having lost
several positions due to the close encounter with Trulli."
Team principal Mario Theissen was understandably delighted with the result.
Furthermore, he is convinced there is plenty more to come from the F1.08 -
enough, in fact, for the German-Swiss team to achieve their declared aim of a
2008 victory.
“We have not yet tapped our car's full potential,” said Theissen. “Therefore,
I'm confident that we will be able to achieve the goal we've set ourselves for
the 2008 season: to close the gap to the top teams and to secure our maiden
Grand Prix win. Everybody is working hard to help us realise this goal, at the
racetrack, during testing, as well as in Munich and Hinwil.”
Heidfeld and Kubica lie third and fifth respectively in the driver standings,
while BMW Sauber are second to McLaren in the constructors’ table.

Ferrari classics to go on show at Bahrain race |
During the forthcoming Bahrain Grand Prix fans will get the chance to get up
close and personal with an array of historic Ferrari Formula One cars, as the
Italian company continues celebrations to mark its 60th anniversary with a
special exhibition.
Amongst the cars on display will be a priceless 166MM sports car, one of the
first to be built by the legendary Enzo Ferrari following World War Two, and a
1959 version of the Ferrari Dino 246, the car in which Mike Hawthorn became 1958
world champion. Another rarity to be exhibited will be the Pininfarina Sigma
design study, built to demonstrate possible advances in driver safety and based
on the 1967 Ferrari 312 Formula One car.
“There are very few motor manufacturers with the panache, achievement and
heritage of Ferrari,” said Martin Whitaker, CEO of the Bahrain International
Circuit. “Scuderia Ferrari is one of the biggest sporting brands in the world,
with 60 years of achievement in the world of Formula One and international
sports car racing, and we are delighted to have this feast of iconic cars on
display at our Grand Prix.”
Alongside the classics from its racing heritage, a selection of the Italian
company’s road cars will also be exhibited, including a 1967 Ferrari 275 NART
Spyder - one of only ten built. The 1988 F40, 1995 F50 and 2003 Enzo will also
be on show, alongside the unique Ferrari P4/5, a one-off US$4 million
masterpiece.
The event will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit’s new-look
Formula One village from 4-6 April.
