The story of last week (apart from all the election kerfuffle) was the disappearnace of Air France flight 447 over the Atlantic Ocean. After some wide-scale searching, items and bodies have now been found, electronic error transmissions have been noted, yet it is possible that we may never know the full story of what happened to this plane.  It is a mystery and a sad loss wrapped up in one. 

Elsewhere in the happenings, we see the 6th win out of 7 races for Jenson Button, taking the Turkish Grand Prix ahead of Webber and Vettel.  This now puts him on 61 points coming into the British GP in two weeks’ time.  Today’s race was essentially lost by Vettel after a slip-up on the opening lap, otherwise it could have been a quite different result.  As it was, Button commanded most of the race, with his team-mate suffering from crashes and eventually retiring.
