Formula One

As I write these words there is a game of poker going on in the Force India motor home a few short steps away from the media center in the paddock. Last year I wrote a story about chess and Formula One and I found that there was a small trend in the paddock of people playing backgammon - of all things. Now the paddock has found its real game of the moment. For several races now, a group of drivers has been meeting to play a private game of poker on the second floor of the Force India motor home in complete private, away from the media.
