Autosport reveals that in the heat of the moment at Monza, Schumacher
considered hanging it up -- or is it just hype to present himself as a
more sympathetic character to the fans and media?
There's also news that the proposed forced reduction in non-GP-weekend
testing (and the inability to test the "two-tracks-in-one" at Indy) may
actually *raise* costs instead of lowering them, as the "haves" spend
more and more money on simulations -- we're not talking F12K or GP3,
here; this is Cray-rental money. There's no way the smaller teams could
keep parity with this technical escalation.

Minardi are reported to be considering upping their 2001 budget and buying
not only GP3 but also F1 2000.
You read it here first. And probably last as well.

No, their accountants have announced they couldn't afford the state of the
art PC to run F1 2000 and they only have an 8M Voodoo2 so GP3 h/w mode is
out of the question too...
