Hamilton won Monaco grand prix yesterday. He's coming back now.
Article from formula1.com
After McLaren’s whitewash in Monte Carlo last season, few were predicting a Ferrari victory in this year’s race. However, all that changed after the red cars locked out the front row on Saturday. What no one could have predicted, however, was how just how unpredictable Sunday’s race would be.
On a day when it all went wrong for Ferrari, with both team and drivers admitting mistakes, McLaren made the best judgement calls. That, allied to some stunningly consistent pace from Lewis Hamilton, was enough to put the Briton back in charge of the championship standings…
McLaren
Lewis Hamilton, 1m 18.510s, P1
Heikki Kovalainen, 1m 17.282s, P8
It all seemed over for Hamilton after he punctured his right rear tyre after hitting the wall exiting Tabac on the sixth lap, but McLaren switched to a one-stop strategy and got him going quickly enough that he only dropped to fifth. He passed Alonso and Raikkonen when both made early stops, then outran Kubica and Massa and was thus able to refuel on lap 54 and stay in the lead. The final safety car could have ruined it for him, but he kept his head for a brilliant triumph which he described as the highlight of his career. Kovalainen’s car wouldn’t engage a gear at the start of the formation lap so he had to start from the pit lane with a new steering wheel. When he got a clear road he flew, but eighth and the final point was the best he could muster on another unlucky day.

Tesla test drive in Cannes film festival
So... I try to up my blog after ONE YEAR!!! Please don't ask me why... just do a phd you will know by yourself :)

A journalist from leblogauto.com testdrives Tesla Roadster in Cannes Film Festival. In the clip he's with Diarmuid O'Connell - Driector of Corporate Development at Tesla Motors. His French isn't bad at all. He uses English when he doesn't know French word.
Tesla weights 1200 kg with aluminium chassis and carbon fiber body. He said that Tesla works with Lotus on this issue. So the battery is 7000 cells - Litium ion that cost 20000$.
