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. ****************************************************************************** Canberra, Australia IVL Toys-R-Us #43 Pontiac - Rick Higbee Motorsports http://www.ozemail.com.au/~hoppy1 ******************************************************************************
