What a nightmare… In recent years, there's been a lot of talk about making a movie about Formula 1. And mostly about one of its most tragic heroes: Ayrton Senna. Hollywood hotshots such as directors Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard and actor Tobie "Spiderman" Maguire were, at one point or another, linked to the film.

But even though mom's reactions to her son's twitchy right foot doesn't seem overboard or unjustified, it's worth a look in the video after the jump. Read more »

| As Nano Sales Fall, Tata Motors Invests on Jaguar and Land Rover to Raise Profits Posted: 11 Aug 2011 11:45 AM PDT  When Tata Motors bought Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008, it had great plans for both brands. Driven by sales of the sub-$5,000 Nano, the Indian conglomerate would have enough funds to secure their future.
