Fisichella the author

From racing-live.com :

 

Giancarlo Fisichella has written a book. The Renault driver has joined forces with an Autosprint journalist to produce a book about safe driving.

“It’s a new experience for me, completely different to my job as a Formula One driver and this is exactly why I did it!” Fisichella said. “It’s a guide to help people to feel concerned about road safety. I give tips and advice because the roads are everyone’s, they are not a circuit and it’s important to make people aware of the dangers and how to avoid them.

My turn for a small rant :

This is absolutely ridiculous !

What does a F1 driver know about safe driving that we don't know ? What makes them better drivers in normal traffic ?

And wasn't this book-writing-safe-driver the fucking idiot who was speeding through Rome last year at I-don't-remember-how-many km/h, risking other people's lives just because his kid had a little pain somewhere ?

F*** off, Fisico - one way or the other, you can't do both - do you believe we all have no memory ? I would definitely not even use your stupid book as toilet paper

Next thing will be Kimi writing a book about staying away from Vodka when you go out to party ?


I have NOT lost my mind — I have it backed up on tape somewhere.

I'd love to see his input - "make sure that just before the red light goes out you stall your engine."

Seriously though, you will probably find that he has written bugger all in it. The journalist has written the lot and Fisi has put his name to it because he has been offered a share of the royalties and the publishers have been convinced by his manager that having a Grand Prix winer's name associated will increase sales.


Before you judge a man walk a mile in his shoes. After that it doesn't matter, because he's a mile away and you have his shoes. Money can't buy you happiness, but it lets you be miserable in comfort.

I'm not saying he is a great achiever Karen, but the publishing house don't necessarily know that. They see a book about driving, with a Grand Prix winner's name associated, and just think of the marketability of it. They don't necessarily know anything about F1, just like bookmakers - apparently, you can make a tidy penny by betting on F1, simply because the bookies only really know about the nags, the dogs and the football. So they always give short odds on people they've heard of and long odds on relative unknowns (this only works on small independant bookies - the big names like Ladbrokes or Billy Hill employ staff who are knowledgeable about such things to sort it for them).
