[None of my business]
So Is this the person Bira said she would die to have write for AtlasF1?
Or are they still not writing for Atlas?

Ghostrider, just so you know - I was thinking about you and about RedFever when I closed this deal, some 4 weeks ago

I hope I can lure some more Fisi fans here, so Atlas F1 get some more subscribers, and in that way contribute with something in return.
But the question remains, is Fisi "mentally strong" enough for AtlasF1?
Awesome!!

I would as well, but unfortunately AtlasF1 owns no F1 team, not yet anyway!!!
There is a thread about the Fisi joining in the AtlasF1 section, http://www.atlasf1.c...&threadid=41969

Thanks Atlas for raising the bar even higher

My thoughts exactly! But, if Fisi can't get a competitive car for now, at least we can get some great articles and a different point of view from a current driver.
Nice work, AtlasF1!!

Yes, it's exclusive and prepared especially for Atlas F1. No, it does not get filtered by Jordan at all, however please don't expect Fisico to trash his team in that column - I think we all know he won't be doing that. To avoid the column being a PR affair, we've discussed this and the column really will bear a more personal nature - anecdotes about his own race and season, his family, memories, etc. So I think you will get a chance to look into the life of an F1 driver; but you're not going to get a scintillating manifesto of 'I Accuse!' against his team

Bira, my credit card is flying toward you.

I don't know why every time we add a new writer or feature, people think we'll increase our rates
We will only increase rates at a year's start. The 2002 rates will remain unchanged until the year ends at least.

"Along with Fisichella, renowned writer Jane Nottage joins Atlas F1 and will be a central figure in the magazine's staff. Nottage, who wrote until recently for F1 Magazine, has published numerous books on Formula One and has unmatched ties with the teams and drivers"
Bira, is there a reason why you need to be a subscriber to read that, given thats its more of a advert for Atlas than an actual news item?

Louis, I don't flaut my abilities as editor all too often, but allow me this one time
Jane Nottage is one of my favourite people in the F1 media, and it's arguably the biggest coup for Atlas F1 that she has joined us.
Last year, when Michael Schumacher won the World Championship in Hungary, I was in the Ferrari motorhome chatting to some workers. There were plenty of reporters around waiting for him or Jean Todt to come out. Only one writer was allowed into Michael's room - that's Jane.
Similarly, in San Marino Jane and I were standing in the paddock at Imola chatting, and I just couldn't believe how every bloody driver that walked by actually detoured to walk over to her and share an anecdote or two. I've never seen drivers chat so much as they do with her - she's got the magic for making them open up.
Jane has an incredible ability to talk to those people and get them to open up, like no other one I know in this business. I am not interested, and neither is she, in covering Supermodels who visit the grid. I AM interested, and so does she, in bringing in-depth interviews with Ralf Schumacher or David Coulthard, etc.
Don't judge her before you read her interviews for Atlas F1 - they begin in June. As an editor I can tell you, for me to work with Jane is absolutely a dream come true.
So please, if you give me any credit, trust me on this one and let her work here do the talking.

Atlas with better content: less than 1 euro a week
Its proving to be a very tough decision

My ;) kinda indicates that this was a tongue-in-cheek statement. It was supposed to be in reference to things like cable providers or telcos that bump their rates every time they bring out a new service.
Anyhoo, WTG Bira et al, thanks for continuing to improve, not just cruising along with what is already undoubtedly the best F1 resource around. Now we just need to get Fissi into the Paddock Club ......................

Bira! So she is the one you would die to have in the Atlas F1 team?..for me to work with Jane is absolutely a dream come true.
I guessed it was someone else, in a thread a few weeks ago (I guessed it was that former WC from England with the long hair these days...).
I don't renew my subscription until you tell me..
