Ummm ... you're joking right ? Unless you watched a different race
from me (and since I was there, I think I saw the right one!), I
saw:-

- Schumacher overtake Irvine (questionable whether Irvine moved over)
- Villeneuve overtake Hill (Hill on cold tires)
- Hill overtake Villeneuve (Villeneuve let him through)

Not one of the greater F1 races of the past few years. Perhaps we're
just high on the enthusiasm of a new season ? I like the circuit
too, but from what I have seen of other current F1 circuits, it is
*not* one that allows a lot of passing, regardless of what certain
ex-F1 drivers said in pre-race promotions!

regards,

Joe

Hi Joe,

I was not joking but I am not averse to differing opinions. In fact
I had to go out and did not watch the race! But the track did look
great from the practise and qualifying that I did watch.

Hey, it looks like we are going to have to wait 2-3 months anyway ...
hope Melbourne is in it.

BTW ... thought the last IndyCar race in Brazil was great. Much
better than the Homestead race.

Cheers,

Craig.
