Just read at Atlas F1 news section that Fisi has joined AtlasF1!! I can't believe this, Fisi and AtlasF1 joining forces, two of my absolute favourite things in F1.

Thanks to Bira, or Paul or whoever did this possible!

First two points last weekend, now this! I am very happy!!

[mikedeering]

AtlasF1 just gets better! Congrats to Bira et al for assembling such a brilliant team. Hopefully the magazine can continue to grow and develop.

Look forward to Fisi's comments on Wednesday!

[shabby]

Great Job! Atlas F1 gets better and better!

Is there anyone that isnt writing for Atlas ???

[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

[Alfisti]

A great coup ................ this is going to be very, very good to read .... epecially given the "reliability" of the Jordan.

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!!

[palmas]

No offence, but as much as I'm looking forward to read his column, I would trade that for a fast car for him to drive.

[mahelgel]

Great news!

and i even renewed the subscription a few weeks back ;)

[Superbar]

Great news!

[Davebo]

Good stuff!


How did you pull this off Atlas?

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

[paulb]

So Fisi's stuff will be exclusive for Atlas, and not something that he might already do on his website? Will his content get filtered by Jordan? I sure hope not..

This addition will finally cause me to rip the checkbook from my wife's hands and become a subscriber!

Thanks Atlas for raising the bar even higher

Go Fisi

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!!

[D. Heimgartner]

Wow! This is amazing! Kudos to you and your fabulous magazine/website for being able to get this kind of respect!

[JensonFan]

Cool

Well Done Atlas

[Sphinx]

Beautiful work AtlasF1!

[mel]

Bira, if you need someone to , you know, show him how the photocopier works - that kinda thing, I'd be happy to take some time.;)

Big thumbs ups. The magazine is going from strength to strength and is excellent value for money, thank you.

I'm a very satisfied subscriber.

[vtpachyderm]

This is awesome..

AtlasF1 is getting better and better all the time!

Thanks for the wonderful service.

Very very COOLLLLLLL

Great work Atlas! How did you pull that one? My membership sure is worth its money!

[Viss1]

Holy crap! Great job, AtlasF1! Looking forward to the first column.

[Viss1]

You guys really pulled one off here. Great job!

[JL1978]

Man, that sucks - now I'm gonna have to join!

Looks like I'm going to have to start saving my pennies. Good work Atlas

[eamo]

I just subscribed today - and din't know Fisi was writing a column - now I'm convinced I did the right thing joining. Going through the stuff today, It reminded me of how good the material is here - totally unbiased plug to people who haven't subscribed: Its definitely worth the money.
Thanks to Bira and all the team, and keep up the good work

[Smooth]

wow. wowie wow. Well done. *clap-clap*

[MrAerodynamicist]

i was saying to myself only a few days ago "I wonder when she's going to announce a active driver." Although I must say I'm disappointed, I was rooting for Yoong

Jane Nottage too? Stealing staff from F1 Magazine, Bernie won't be happy ;)

[StickShift]

Wow!

This guaranteed my subscription for years!

[fifi]

[speedy]

Thanks Bira & Atlasf1, you just confirmed me to renew my subscription - it's always great to get real inside information

[RV_Canada]

Brilliant, great news.


I'm trusting this won't be parlayed into a price increase?

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

[Louis Mr. F1]

why am i remain unsubscribed??
Bira, my credit card is flying toward you.

Great Job.

someone mentions Jane Nottage, let me tell you, the day she joins AtlasF1 as a writer, that's the day i stop my subscription.

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?

[Sir Frank]

Jo Ramirez, Ann Bradshaw, Fisico, all the laptimes from the race, + the usual other special features, scrabs tech stuff, high quality photos, WOW. Thank God I suscribed! Thank You AtlasF1! Brilliant

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.

[tifoso]

Well done AtlasF1.

[eamo]

Autosport: about 5 euro a week
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 ......................

[Fredrik Billig]

..for me to work with Jane is absolutely a dream come true.

Bira! So she is the one you would die to have in the Atlas F1 team?
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..

I won't tell you until you renew... how's that for a switcheroo?

[Zmeej]

Great news on a black week!

I might never watch F1 for awhile, but I'll keep my Atlas membership (if youse let me), just in case it becomes worth it again...

[Grano]

If this continues I will have to stop being such a cheap and actually subscribe to Atlas

[BuonoBruttoCattivo]

Even without all these big-shots, Atlasf1 is fantastic. I only lasted a week (withdrawal symptoms) before my CC came out when atlas became subsriber-based.
But now a fellow Roman writing on my fav. site
Thank you Bira
