Ayrton Senna 50th’ anniversary
21st of March - Today Ayrton Senna would be commemorating his 50th birthday and what better way to honour the late triple World Champion with this shot from his record breaking 6th win at Monaco, the 5th in a row at the principality. Two records that are most likely to last eternally. This year the Ayrton Senna Foundation is providing a unique way for you to honour Ayrton. By accessing www.senna50.com.br you can leave your personal message, which will transform itself in one of the many tiny Senna helmets on the homepage. When placing the cursor on each one of those yellow helmets, you can read the individual messages from fans from all over the World. Of course, P1Mag will honour Ayrton in issue no. 08, check it out on Tuesday at http://www.p1mag.de.
All about Alonso’s perfect debut in red
In Bahrain we’ve seen three different concepts doing well. Red Bull has a aerodynamically almost perfect car, surprisingly gentle with the supersoft while pretty quick. Yet, and we had alerted to that, reliability is an issue, n’est-ce pas?
90% isn’t that bad at all
Quite satisfied as our prediction in P1Mag issue no.06 proved to be 90% right, especially as to the reliability issues at Red Bull Racing.
Bahrain GP qualifying: No major surprises
First Qualifying of the season is over and with Sebastian Vettel a pole-sitter that doesn’t surprise at all. Surprises? Not too many, actually. There could be surprise tommorrow though.
Pre-Bahrain analysis in P1Mag issue no. 06

What kind of a World Championship is this???
The media service on WRC.com is among the worst around! Latest stills are from…Rally GB 2009 ! For almost a year now there are no whatsoever hi-res pictures available on the media section of wrc.com. And I’m giving up drawing their attention politely to it! From now on I call it publicly what it is: This is not worthy of a Wordl Championship status. It’s plain ridiculous amateurism !
The status of P1Mag in English
Dear friends,
as you all know, we’re working in the background to launch P1Mag global. The procedure isn’t that complicated, as a matter of fact I’ve designed a layout that will give us flexibility throughout to run a bilingual production of each issue.
However, this also involves manpower and a functioning structure. Our German version is doing well and we now have Alwin Sahr of the Pole Position agency taking care of the advertising. Therefore we cannot afford to sacrifice quality on the German version to launch somewhat prematurely an English version.
The original plan was to begin producing the English version with a Formula 1 season preview, due next Tuesday. Then again most of you will remember I had to overcome a big loss in my life early in the year. During those very difficult weeks I was unable to push forward all the things necessary, like getting the right proof readers, translators (English to German), a graphic illustrator to create the front page (which is done by myself so far) and so on.
It is those several weeks that I was too affected to keep doing my normal work, let alone pushing P1Mag global forward that are missing now and unvariably will delay things further. Maybe a month or so. And it just wouldn’t be right to try to do it nonetheless. One can tell the deadline would be daunting and the quality would probably not be constantly on the same lavel. But that’s a requirement I want to see fulfilled!
However, the launch date is going to be later than planned, but it’s definitely going to happen. And it will continue to be open source. Meaning: Free of charge! We will offer a subscription though and it will comprise some very exlusive goodies in return.
So watch this space, I’ll keep you posted.
Greetings
Mario
