Alguersuari, Schumacher To Race Karts: Unable to find a race seat for his F1 return, Jaime Alguersuari has signed up for a season of kart racing. Spain's El Confidencial reports that the former Toro Rosso driver will combine his continuing role as Pirelli test driver with a seat in the powerful KZ kart category of the European championship. "The truth is that I miss competition and so I will compete in what most resembles a Formula One car," said the 22-year-old. "I don't know if I will return to Formula One but I don't want to believe that my career is over at 22," added Alguersuari. It has also emerged that the newly re-retired Michael Schumacher is returning to kart racing, and will contest the WSK Euro Series race at Ialy's La Conca circuit for Tony Kart. Curiously, one of his competitors this weekend will be Max Verstappen, the 15-year-old son of his former Benetton teammate, Dutchman Jos Verstappen.

Jos Verstappen, aka J.J. Verstappen, performed one of the bravest acts I have ever seen in racing. Back then fuel (gasoline) was pumped under high pressure to fill the tanks quickly. You can imagine the risks and Verstappen was hosed down with many liters of fuel during a pit stop malfunction. Knowing how hot the race car was during the race, he frantically waved all his crew away from his car before it went up in a ball of flames. The crew quickly extinguished the spectacular fire and pulled Jos out. He had moderate burns on his face where the flames got under his visor, but that was it. Jos Verstappen has big balls in my book.
