So terrible about the tragic death of  Test Cricketer Phillip Hughes after he was hit by a cricket ball during play and suffered fatal head injuries. What a streak of horrendous luck for such a lovely young man, so sorry for his family and team. Can't believe what horror has befallen so many wonderful sportsmen this year.

Keep Fighting Michael and Jules, still with you and I am so sorry for Phillip and his family, thoughts are with you xxxx

Happy Birthday for yesterday Kimi Raikkonen

Kimi Boy. Happy birthday you old rogue. You may be the oldest in the field but you have the most character by far. Hope to see you on the podium again very soon.
 We all know you know what you are doing...Can't leave you alone though, you're too fun to watch.




Praying still for Michael and for Jules, somehow, someday, you'll both be yourselves again, happy and well, my thoughts are always with you xxx

Terrible to see the accident yesterday at the Japanese Grand Prix and that Jules Bianchi is in a bad way. Hoping and praying that he will be alright. It is enough of a tragedy having Michael Schumacher in such a poor state without another driver facing severe head injuries. My thoughts are with Jules and his family and are still with Michael since December of last year. Hopefully both  brave boys will make a good recovery very soon.
My thoughts are also with the other drivers, you can see how hard these tragedies hit them and it just goes to show how dangerous Formula One still is and always will be no matter the precautions. Despite the thrill of watching the race, always feel trepidation knowing how many brave men have been lost to the sport. Hopefully no more will be lost.


All the very best Jules x

Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen

 My two Favourite drivers. Michael and Kimi.

Kimi was doing so well in Qualifying last night, hope he is able to get on the podium again after so long.

Hoping Michael is able to do the same in his health.

Bless you Michael xx

Heartening and also rather heartbreaking news on Michael. So glad to hear he is making progress but his current state would be a nightmare for such a wonderful, athletic, intelligent and charismatic man.
Really am praying hard they he is able to improve and learn to talk and walk again. I hope he is comfortable.
You're a brave and courageous, darling boy, Schumi, please keep improving darling boy.
All my love
Solli xx

Michael Schumacher, lovely that you are beginning to recover Michael, such a long road to go, still praying for you xx

Nice to see Daniel win the Canadian Grand Prix, he is a lovely young driver and a credit to Australia. Hope Massa is alright and Perez. Still praying Michael Schumacher, come on Michael, keep fighting.

 Come on, Michael, it's about time you woke up dear boy.Still thinking of you constantly xx

 Keep battling on, Michael dear boy. Saw many of your signed items in Melbourne and it was wonderful, still praying for you all the time. So thrilling to be able to be so close to so many important Formula One items, including Ayrton Senna's racing glove. It was a terrific experience.  Please come good Michael darling xx

Wonderful to hear that Michael Schumacher is making an improvement. Pray and hope he continues to pull through. Come on, Michael xx

Dearest Michael

 Darling Michael, praying for you and your family, but if there is no hope for your recovery dear boy, I hope that there will be a peaceful end. I'm so sorry that such a dreadful thing has happened to you.
You're in my thoughts all the time, wishing for something good to happen. All my love and strength to you all. Solxx

Michael xx

Shumacher and Massa... Niki and James

Michael and Massa.

Sorry Massa was shunted out of the Gran Prix in Melbourne. Pretty poor also that the Officials never put on the message to Michael when they said they would, he's still the best driver the F1 has ever had, atleast there were a few little mentions of him. Now they've disqaulified Daniel for a pretty poor excuse... and my v6 ford sounds better than the F1 cars.

 

I'm afraid my computer died last night so I can't copy photos, don't know when I can put pictures on blog again. What a disappointing week!

Still praying for you Michael dear boy, keep battling on. Hope you're not in any pain. You'll always be the best driver xx

 Niki Lauda. Nice to see Niki at the Melbourne Grand Prix

 Daniel Bruhl as Niki Lauda and Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt in the film RUSH.

One of the best films I have seen in a long time, two extrodinary men. Niki's come back after his terrible accident is amazing. Hope Michael may be able to do something similar xx

Please don't give up Michael darling xx

So glad to hear that Michael has already recovered from the infection. Hope this is true. Keep hanging on, Michael. So many people are thinking of you. xx

Shumi, keep battling on xx

Upsetting to hear reports that Michael Schumacher is now battling a lung infection. Still praying and hoping you will recover and be back to your dear old self again, Michael. Don't give up Shumi.
God bless and help Michael's family. Hope things improve for all of them.
Constantly in my thoughts...
