    For once, you are mistaken. The truth is I pay good money for people to watch videos of my "whatnot".

    That's just how I roll.

    Lots of pirouettes, too. Such a graceful display. :)

    BTW, did anyone else notice the contrails coming off the McLaren's rear wings on the straights? Some of the other cars had that effect too, but none so pronounced as both McLarens.

    It looked like the McLarens were running a bit more rear wing than some others.

    Have you also noticed that there appears to be a large difference between some manufacturers with the size of the opening in the rear wing when the DRS is enabled? The Redbulls especially have a much larger opening than the rest.

    I wonder what the explosion was. Maybe the batteries for the KERS system. Didn't he have his car catch fire in a similar manner earlier this year?

    This was his second Car B Que this year.

    There was much speculation by the BBC boys as they walked pit road after the race. The discarded, burned bodywork was outside the closed Lotus Garage door, Brundle and Eddie Irvine poked and prodded the bodywork on camera. Irvine said there was a decided electrical scent to the burnt bits.

    Yup. I wanted to try the BBC coverage but I was up until 4am and had to pack it in and settle for the regular Speed coverage via DVR. At least it wasn't Fox...

    Keep in mind this comes after the new calendar was announced, the one that moves the US GP from Jun to Nov along with many other changes. Apparently it's ok if he makes changes but not ok if the teams have something to say about it. Seems to me they have a right to complain given his latest brain-fart includes 7 races in 10 weeks on 4 separate continents, and this comes at the end of the season when the mechanics, etc, are already exhausted!

    Do you suppose he realizes how happy people will be to see the back of him when he finally retires in a hundred years or so? :crazy:

    Egomaniacs such as Bernie never realize how they are truly perceived and anyone who might disagree with them is instantly dismissed as an idiot.....

    Wishing you all the best Bernie in hopefully a sooner than later retirement.

    Your idiot always,
    Mark
