apparantly Minardi were featured quite a bit as they have a new English driver.

They did some test of him getting in and out the car etc.

My brother works on the Minardi pit crew and is one of the blokes who does the seatbelt up and so he was on TV. Seeing as I haven't seen him for nearly a year I want to know if he's still a fat bloater

watching the pit crews is infinetly more interesting than watching the "cars" parade around.

F1 !! what a load of tosh I don't know how they have the nerve to call it a race anymore.

But as Jean Todt said, it's not Ferrari's fault they've pulled away from the crowd, it's up to the others to catch up.

Although i still think there should be some sort of financial cap on what they can spend, otherwise the smaller clubs will never catch up.
Flip side to that is that if you restrict spending on R&D and so on, technical advances which find their way on to road cars will be moderated. Dunno what the answer is really...

I only recorded one lap, so replayed it 60 times and thought it was a thrilling race

LOL @ Pete!

So Schumacher can put in a 1:13 lap whenever he feels like it, yet he sit behind Rubens doing 1:19's? Thats not racing. If I had an F1 team, the team orders would be: go out there and drive very fast, if you don't come first, drive faster.

Ah but... when you consider that you have virtually no downforce when following, it was probably the drive of his life.

If you took all the wings off, I'll bet Schuey couldn't do many 1:18s.

Not really my sport, but full respect to the drivers.
