I especially liked the bit where ITV (in the UK) went to a commercial
break just as you heard a commentator saying "Oh no!...." (Turned out to
be "just" the man on the track incident). Excellent timing, if you'd
paid for one of those adverts!

I guess it just goes to show that not only NASCAR, but any series can have
good close racing when yellow flags are flown at any/all opportunities...
Now if we can just get the F1 officials to throw yelllow flag laps at the
sight of a matchstick on the track (like they do in NASCAR) <G> then F1
will pertain the giddy heights of false immersion that NASCAR achieves at
present. :))
All jokes aside, it was a great race and almost felt like i was watching F1
of old times again..

It was certainly a great race but it wasn't the first great race of the
season. I thought Australia and Brazil were very enjoyable too.
Some of Rubens' passing moves were absolutely stunning. Throw the dummy one
way, wait for the lead man to counter, then blast by the other way in do or
die fashion. Pure Mansell-Senna stuff, and it could have all ended in tears
if everyone involved wasn't so professional. Much more entertaining than
the classic "who is the best of the late brakers?" (which of course is a
talent not to be underestimated). As they say in Monster Truck racing,
"we'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge of it". I was
riveted to the screen.

It was on a par with 2 weeks ago when they cut to a break half way through
Ralf's final lap. It was finished when they came back !
Good old ITV.
***ERS.

No, I can't!

The same is for me: pure speculations
Only problem for Dave would be A.J. IV spotting him, and thinking, "Gee,
haven't hit one of those *yet* this year...lock on target..."

I wonder why they are not watering the tracks (during the race).
And does anybody know how well F1 handles on the snow? ;->

The only controversy I saw in the race was a certain Ferrari pushing
Alonso onto the grass at 190mph to avoid being passed. THAT annoyed
me. The F1 is trying to promote more e***ment and overtaking in F1,
and allowing that sort of behaviour to go unpunished is hardly likely
to make drivers want to overtake. It's difficult and risky enough
without letting such behaviour go uncommented.
