Nobody in F1 seems to be having much fun anymore. Yes, they do the scripted spraying of champagne up on the podium, but everything seems very cut and dried. A lot of wan smiles, a lot of coy talk about being "quick," a lot of talk about money, but very rarely any laughter. It's more serious than church.

F1 hasn't been any fun since the loss of Senna IMO.

Ya.....they are wrecking like Nascar.....who are wrecking like the Arca [Crash and Burn gang] : )

My F1 team is struggling.....I know I am : )
Nick Heidfeld and Mark Webber driving the vaunted Willams/BMW ...maybe team owners have chided them to not be as risk taking as former driver Juan Pablo Montoya.
either way....they both seem capable drivers...but too laid back.

Williams/BMW car seems too rigid in its suspension.
over engineered.....not supple enough for the going over curb driving of F1.
seems F1 is all in the qualifying....and that damned first corner : )

Speaking of church.....it was a spiritual moment seeing BMW beat the Black/Satan looking Mercedes on Germany's famed course.
Kaikkonen....er...Raikkonen the head case will probably be getting his butt dressed by German leather boots after the past race.
Raikonnen meets Darth Vader.....black table with lots of money on it,
heavy breathing : )

LOL....Frances vote to not join Euro constitution.
Could that have anything to do with recent Renault wins ? : )

shift:

I should make an effort to join the nascar FR threads....
My comp is in the other room.....don't want to miss Darrel Waltrip coments.
especially the quiet after Dale JR's last support manuever to Michael.
Michael has looked rather **edgy on speed week programs this year : )
