Button wins Australian Grand Prix

Monaco resident Jenson Button has won the first F1 race of the season.

The Formula One season started yesterday with the Australian Grand Prix held at the Albert Park track in Melbourne. Before the race on Sunday Button was considered to be something of an outside favourite for this year's championship.

What does Monte-Carlo SBM mean to you?

2008 promises to be an exciting year for the Societe des Bains de Mer et du Cercle des Etrangers, commonly and confusingly referred to here in Monaco as SBM. Confusingly, because there's another company based in the Principality called Single Buoy Moorings, also referred to as SBM. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for the recent branding exercise carried out by the company, resulting in their new name Monte-Carlo SBM.
