Formula One team Caterham have raised enough money to participate in the final Grand Prix of the season. The team's financial problems have led the company into administration. They have used a novel investment strategy, crowd funding. That has been described by F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone as like a "begging bowl". So does it cheapen the sport?

Two years on, Petrov, who still lives near to Aston Villa's stadium, is still playing football, albeit in the slightly less glamorous surroundings of his local team Wychall Wanderers.
