This sounds like a fun job - NOT !

Despite having a bit of a tough time in the libel courts recently (see Grand Prix.com - 10 Aug) Business F1 Magazine which is a monthly magazine about...er...the business of F1, is currently advertising in the UK's 'The Guardian' (a riveting read in itself) for new staff:

"BUSINESS F1 MAGAZINE LTD.
Salary: ?15-25,000 depending on experience.
Job description: You will have been educated to a good standard and hold high qualifications in Mathematics and English. Your knowledge of Formula One will be as described, extreme. By way of example (and without being able to do you should not apply), you will be able to instantly recall the ages of at least half of the current Formula One team principals. As a matter of course you will know their names and the names of at least half of the 20 race engineers. Furthermore, you will be able to recall, without reference to any information source, the christian names of the wives and girlfriends of all current Formula One drivers. On application you will be given a 30-question knowledge test of Formula One of which you will be able to score a minimum of 90 per cent correct answers."

Now, doesn't that sound like a barrel of laughs ?
