I'm a motor racing fan, old son :)). I love ALL motor racing, from the humble, but fast, karts at my local track, through to and including F1! I don't hate F1, it's just that I complain about what's wrong this it. Rather than just be a stupid, rabid, ignorant, Schumi/F1 fan, who just slag off all other forms of the sport with a religious zeal, in a vain attempt to make Bernie's circus look better than it really is, I like to take a step back and be objective. You know that I mean: there are F1/schumi fans and the are motor racing fans. Gerry

Tom Pabst <[email hidden]> wrote on 14 Aug 2001: <snip> > 1. Hit "Reply To Group"<snip> "Follow-Up To Newsgroup", akcherly... :-) Anyhoo, I'm going to answer this at least semi-seriously for some weird reason... No, F1 is not for wimps[sic]. It's bloody hard work. Having said that, I don't believe it's hard enough these days - there are *far* too many "driver aids" (horrible term). Jean Alesi is the only driver left on the grid who's driven with a manual 'box at Monaco - now *that's* hard. They need to get rid of a lot of the gizmos. Saying "oh, we can't police it" is a huge and feeble cop-out - it's akin to giving up on drug testing in athletics or letting corruption run wild(er) in cricket. It's just not a good enough excuse. NASCAR is great for those who want wheelbanging action (though Jason Plato seems to be trying to recreate this single-handed in the BTCC...), and I approve of its existence.

You're right, it's just not cricket, is it old bean :-) As the news has probably not reached America yet, last year the S. African captain Hansie Kronje admitted taking bribes and pointed the finger at a number of other senior players. I think it can be compared with the "White Sox" scandal (he says, knowing nothing about baseball).

Wow... There were actually some serious replies.....and the rest of you didn't get too out of hand. I was expecting the off letter bomb in my mail though (so I hired an explosive sniffing dog for the last couple days to check my mail over before I opened it).....lol. For the record: 1. I don't think F1 is for whimps. I made the post to stir up the newsgroup a bit. Maybe even get some people motivated to make a post that don't normally make them. It seemed to work....and there were some pretty creative ways of getting around my "instructions" which many of you figured out, would make you vote: F1 Is For Whimps! ....lol.... 2. I think "whimps" is spelled correctly....at least via the Franklin spell checker I use......it is. 3. I think Francois Menard is a "whimp"....but dang it, he didn't reply.....so I can't start a new string voting on whether he's a whimp or not. Darn! 4. Interesting how the human mind works.....managing to get several posts about "cricket" in this string? That was a bit of stretch....I thought! 5. I managed to meet Mika Hakinnen (sp?) a few weeks back, McLaren driver (but you F1 guys probably know that) as he was climbing into his car for a test session at Silverstone. I actually got to hold his wheel, while he climbed into the car....I was invited into the McLaren garage to observe the engine warm-up procedures. Maybe I gave him some luck, he ended up winning the Silverstone race (British GP) this year I believe, did he not? Therefore, I couldn't in all seriousness......really think F1 was for whimps....now could I? 6. Every driver who manages the awesome task of taking a green flag to start a race......is my hero. I know how much luck and effort it takes to pull that off. That goes from amateur SCCA "Solo II" drivers to....yes, F1 drivers.....and everyone in between. No...I don't think F1 is for whimps.....and shame on anyone.....who voted "for" that idea! Regards, Tom Pabst
