the Mole Digs Deeper
Thanks to our Mole we're bringing you a unique opportunity to read the next F1-Live story before it's even published on the main website. Enjoy!
Red Bull Motorhome Apparently Breaks Away from RBR F1 Team at Le Mans
"Red Bull motorhome was spotted this week at Le Mans where practice for the famous 24 hour sports car race began on Wednesday. Renault and Ferrari motorhomes are also expected to join in for talks to form new F1 Motorhomes Association (FORMAN). Williams and Force India motorhomes have already put out a statement condemning this action. Mike Gascoyne's caravan blasted the big motorhomes by saying that Mightspeed F1 Team of 10 people can easily fit into its spacious interior and thus will be racing under the new regulations proposed by the FIA.
According to unconfirmed reports from the Isle of Man, Brawn motorhome is undecided, while the German newspaper Bild-Zeitung claims that Toyota motorhome remains in Cologne where it participates in the local beer festival joined by the BMW motorhome.
Our own unnamed journalist who has been suffering from verbal diarrhoea for the last 10 years thinks McLaren sent its motorhome to the moon with Norbert Haug inside.
FORMAN may break away from Formula 1 teams and switch to Le Mans series paddocks in 2010.
We'll be updating this story until the end of 2009."

the Mole of the BOL Column
Today we're bringing you the next instalment by the Mole of the BOL called "Renault F1 Garage Exclusive Reportage - L'âge D'or".
I was strolling through the vast empty paddock to find my way to RF1 garage door. The first thing I saw was a set of rules. I paused for a second to check out whether I was eligible to enter: no wombats, no dogs and no lions. Hmm... Thank God I'm a Mole myself! I was greeted by an elegant team robot strangely called RF1 PP, very high-tech device I must tell you. A bit bizarre but it's OK. RF1 PP whispered into my ear that Nelson Piquet and Fernando Alonso performing at this grand prix are both replicas of the real people. Nelson was kicking it in the Caribbean and Fernando was in Jerez busy at his bodega. These amazing replicas could walk, talk and drive like Alonso and Piquet and were stored at night in one of the team's trucks. The rumour has it that they use KERS batteries from R29 to power these humanoids.
I was told to take a few pictures and get out. Which I did.
The moles are not what they seem.
Alonso replica.
The famous door.
Piquet replica.

the WOBOL Mole: Morning Coffee with Alonso
Also we'll be publishing our Mole's dialogues with Fernando Alonso on Monday. This feature will be called "Morning Coffee with Alonso".
"I like morning coffee," says the Flying Spaniard, "Black as 1998 Arrows, strong as F1 cockpit and gorgeous as a madonna."
Party in T
Now that BBC boasts its own F1 Mole, the WOBOL blog decided to acquire the services on MegaFon F1 Mole (Russian F1 spy). Today we bring you exclusive images from private Renault party in Istanbul and the story behind it.
Stay with us for more from Istanbul on Monday after the race.
Bernie Khan: or, a Vision in a Dream
Bernie Khan: or, a Vision in a Dream
In Istanbul did Bernie Khan
A stately pleasure-track decree:
Where Ralph, the German driver ran
Through paddocks measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With pits and towers were gridled round:
And there were fast turns, tight, with sinuous rails
Where crashed out many a pretence-bearing gentry;
And here were grid girls polishing their nails,
Ensuring their spot in history...
