Vettel not chasing Schumi?s record
Red Bull ace Sebastian Vettel has admitted he has not thought of chasing Michael Schumacher's record of seven Formula One World Championship titles.

Canadian GP: Hamilton all set for qualifying as he goes fastest in P3
June 12 '10
Lewis Hamilton was the fastest driver in his McLaren in the final practice session for the Canadian Grand Prix with his best time of 1m16.058s which was 0.3 of a second faster than the Red Bull of Mark Webber in second position.
As if the track wasn't slippery enough, overnight showers made track conditions even worse at the beginning of the session. Halfway through the session the track became almost dry and Hamilton set his fastest time of the weekend on the super-soft tyres that nobody could match.
According to iTV, "In the middle part of the session Button had briefly traded fastest times with his McLaren team-mate Hamilton, before the younger Briton took command with a 1m16.259s lap at the 40-minute mark.
"Even though it was set on the harder prime tyre, that time remained unbeaten when the field switched to the super-soft options in the closing stages ? except by Hamilton himself, who moved the benchmark to 1m16.058s."
Sebastian Vettel was fifth quickest in the second Red Bull and was on target to improve when Lucas di Grassi spun his Virgin at the Casino hairpin with just a minute left on the clocks and brought out the yellow flags.
Apart from Grassi, there were few others who also had a close shave. Felipe Massa brushed the wall at the exit of turn seven and sparks flew from the front side of his Ferrari with no major damage. Hamilton also brushed the barriers coming out of turn four after setting the quickest time of the session.
Nico Rosberg managed just 4 laps during the dying stages of the practice session as his Mercedes was being tended by the pit crew with a clutch problem. Hispania's Karun Chandhok missed the entire session as his car stopped at the pit exit due to gearbox problem.

Rare 1932 Talbot 14/65 Boat Tail Tourer will be at Historics at Brooklands auction
Ever fancied yourself owning a unique classic car that no one else on the planet owns? Well, it’s easier said than done since, first, you’ll have to find someone that owns it and, second, they have to be willing to sell it too. Not an easy task, but it just so happens we may have found one that?s going to be auctioned off at the Historics at the Brooklands on December 4th.
The car is a 1932 Talbot 14/65 Boat Tail Tourer and is the only one of its kind in the world. The car is completely hand-built using 3?x1/4? planks of noble Honduran mahogany to constitute the car?s custom wooden body, which in case you still haven?t noticed, takes the shape of a little boat, hence the name ?Boat Tail?. The 1932 Talbot also has a steel chassis with a 1.7-liter six-cylinder engine that, from what we?ve heard, still works like a charm.
As for the interior, it comes with a bench seat that was pretty standard for classics this old. The Talbot?s interior also has been given a black leather treatment with some decorative styling added for better aesthetics.
Since it?s going to be auctioned at a pretty prestigious event at the Historics at Brooklands, you can expect this one-of-a-kind classic to fetch some serious bidding. The starting price is around �30,000 ? about $50,000 ? but considering it?s rarity, we won?t be surprised if the bid goes well over triple of what the starting price is.
