About Sheiban »

Sheiban Shakeri has been an avid fan of Formula 1 and the Red Bull Air Race. Since he was a child, he always had a fascination with race cars and airplanes, "so it's natural that I would get into the sporting aspect of it."

In 2008, Shakeri had the opportunity to cover a new sport, the Red Bull Air Race, and since then, he hasn't looked back on it. He has been invited to attend three races so far - Detroit 2008, Abu Dhabi 2009, and Windsor 2009 - and has become a well-known member of the air racing community.

Formerly the Community Leader of Formula 1, Shakeri has decided to move on and help the Red Bull Air Race grow by exclusively covering this new sport. Please help by visiting the section and putting in your views and comments!

All Time Sports Moment

2005 Japanese Grand Prix when Kimi Raikkonen, who started 17th, overtook Giancarlo Fisichella for first place on the final lap.
Most Memorable Game Attended

Blue Jays game in June 2007. Just a regular season game against the Colorado Rockies, but the game is tied. They go into extra innings and the Rockies are ahead by 2 runs at the top. The Jays come back in the bottom to win the game in extra innings. What a way to finish.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

91 Grand Prix wins by Michael Schumacher. That's not easy to trump and will stay that way for a long time.

Hi Sheiban,

Just returned from China/UAE, Dubai was amazing, made a quick trip to Abu Dhabi to look at the track. Fantastic trip.

Noticed your giving up your F1 community leader role. You've done a sterling job, sad to see you go. The RBAR section is lucky to have you, and will only get better as you focus your attention on it. I will continue to read your RBAR articles.

Hi Sheiban,

I love your Air Race articles! I went to the Detroit event last year and was planning on writing an article for my own site but never got around to it. I plan on going again this year to the Windsor race. Very cool that you got to go last year and meet the pilots!

Thanks
