blog： Schumi absence

Whatever people’s feelings about Schumacher’s aborted return, there is widespread mystification about why Badoer has been chosen to replace him.

This, after all, is a man who Ferrari rejected as a replacement for Schumacher 10 years ago, when the German broke his leg in an accident during the British Grand Prix.

Badoer was an active F1 driver for Minardi back in 1999, but Ferrari preferred the Finn Mika Salo as a stand-in for Schumacher, charged with helping his team-mate Eddie Irvine in his quest to beat Mika Hakkinen to the world title.

I asked a Ferrari insider at the time why the team had chosen the Finn over Badoer. “The problem with Luca Badoer,” he said, “is that he is too slow.”

Ten years on, at the age of 38, Badoer is unlikely to have got any quicker. Ferrari’s line is that he is the official third driver, so he was next in line once Schumacher had decided he would not be able to race.

blog：The Crowd as Herd?

I was particularly drawn to TaiwanChallenges’ point about Nicholas Taleb and the winner-takes-almost-all nature of the web. And wondered whether we should build this up into one of the big themes of the series.

It is compelling that the web, despite being so fluid, porous, open, an apparent free-for-all, is dominated in effect by a handful of monopoly brands. Let’s face it, there’s only one search engine that matters, one bookshop, one encyclopaedia, one micro-blogging portal (I don’t even have to name these do I?) and, if current take-up numbers are to be believed and the trajectory continues, in a few years Facebook will be the social network with clout.

In part these brands rose to dominance because they formulated the right strategy at the right time to blaze a trail into - to borrow Taleb’s phrasing - the web’s unknown unknown commercial territory. Google ‘got’ how to monetise search before anyone else. Twitter created a whole new utility. But is that the whole story?
