Animated arms in GP4??

The question is - following the French Grand Prix will GC be inspired to add
animated arms to GP4, just to add to the realism of the 2000 season?

We could have the following assigned to controller buttons or keys:

Raise arm - car failure, entering the pits
Wave to crowd - victory (or getting a point in an Arrows)
Frantically wave at marshalls - to push you back on the track as you are in
a "dangerous position" 400m off in the gravel
Gesticulate to stewards - You are leading, being caught, its raining and it
is just too dangerous out there

Plus of course (only available if you select car #2)

One fingered gesture - self explanatory
The other one - you know the one I mean :-)

Now GC could go the whole hog and add Unreal Tourny type taunts for the pit
lane banter.

Perhaps Fischicella showing Verstappen the Totti penalty again
Then Alesi holding up a 4 minute board to Trulli
Everyone (bar Frentzen) showing Schuey how to catch a ball on the line...

The list goes on...

The GP team have said they won't be adding it as it impedes the view of the
steering wheel, which is tre really as it shwos alot more than GPL and even
in GPL they can get in the way at times.

Would be cool to be able to flip off other drivers though:-)
