A futuristic petrol station in Leicestershire has this week been given listed status.

The station, based on the A6 at Red Hill, has now been awarded Grade II Listing. Built in the 1960′s, around 19,000 of these futuristic petrol stations were said to have been built worldwide, yet 50 years on, there is only a few remaining.

The design is very futuristic considering it was built in the 1960′s. Several flat,circular canopies form one large roof, although they are all at different heights. This is the very last of these designs that U.S. architect Eliot Noyes designed in the 60′s. The first station to be built using this design was in New Haven, Connecticut. They also featured cylindrical shaped pumps too.

Originally part of the Mobil fuel empire, it is now emblazoned with the Esso logo, the company that was created from the merging of Mobil and Exxon in 1999.

Regarded as one of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, Aryton Senna is a household name to almost everyone, even if they have no knowledge of motor sport.

Perhaps one of the most tragic deaths in sport came on this day, 18 years ago.

The 1994 Formula 1 season had been highly anticipated since the end of the 1993 season. Retirement of defending champion Alain Prost who won his 4th title in 1993, was the biggest shock during pre-season. This was later confirmed as happening due to Senna’s move to Williams.

Senna did not have the best starts to the season, making pole in his home Grand Prix of Brazil but not finishing in both that race and the second race in the Pacific Grand Prix. Then came the dreaded San Marino Grand Prix.

A then young and upcoming Rubens Barrichello, was injured in the practice for the race, an injury that subsequently forced him to miss the race. During qualifying, whilst Roland Ratzenberger was pressing for the final position on the grid, he went off the track and damaged his front wing. Instead of returning to the pits however, Ratzenberger continued and on the back straights where high speeds and low downforce occurs, the wing broke off, went under his car and blocked him from turning it going into a corner. He careered straight into the track wall.  He died of head injuries.

Senna spent most of the weekend mourning his colleagues injuries and death. Nether the less, he felt compelled to continue and race, a race which would prove to be fatal.

7 laps into the race and the accident occured. Speeding through the left handed Tamburello corner, he lost control and carried straight through, off the track and into a concrete track wall. His right front tyre was broke from the car and flew up. He lifted slightly and spun 180degrees, almost making it back onto the track.

He lay motionless and it was clear from the start that something was not right. Examinations and post mortems show that Senna took massive trauma to the head and that his helmet was pierced by an upright connected to the tyre. It is believed that the tyre flew up and hit hit head, forcing it back to hit his head rest and the piercing piece of metal also caused trauma. Professor Sidney Watkins, the head of the Formula One medical team gave this account of his encounter with Senna just after the crash;

“He looked serene. I raised his eyelids and it was clear from his pupils that he had a massive brain injury. We lifted him from the cockpit and laid him on the ground. As we did, he sighed and, although I am not religious, I felt his spirit depart at that moment.”

The nurses who were at the hospital where Senna was taken after the crash also found a small austrian flag tucked up his sleeve, a flag which they believed he was going to fly from his car after the race had finished, in a tribute to Roland Ratzenberger.

The legacy of Aryton Senna is one of great significance. The highest profile race driver to die in the sport meant that serious improvements were made afterwards. Changes to tracks, safer barriers, better driver cockpit sills and higher overall safety standards were made after his death. Since that day, no race driver has died whilst at the wheel of a  Formula One car. It is often said that his grave attracts more visitors that Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and John.F. Kennedy altogether.

Artyon Senna was a great race driver, some say the best. His death was undoubtedly tragic, but his memory lives on.

US carmaker Ford has reported lower than usual first quarter incomes, with Europe proving the biggest problem.

Ford have stated that they have made a loss of $149m in Europe in the first quarter, with sales down by around 60,000. Overall this contributed to a net income of $1.4bn, down some £1bn from the $2.6bn that they made in the same time as last year. But Ford, 2nd biggest US carmaker, said that about half of that loss was due to increased taxes being charged.

Asia, Africa and South America all reported losses too for Ford, with the only shinning light being that from its own country, profits rising 17% to $2.1bn.

This though still spells bad news for the struggling carmaker who, unlike other car manufactures, are still losing money. Volkswagen, Daimler, Honda, Hyundai and Chrysler all reported increased profits overall in the quarter.

Ford however are still looking to increase overall their firm, with a $760m factory announced in Hangzhou, China.
