Also good to see Ferrari making some gains. Why, Peter, in God's name why?  |

Nice to see Kimi standing on the top step waiting to be hanged again (for God's sake, Kimi, CHEER UP!) -- but who was that ugly guy in the red suit standing next to him?  I never watch races in which That German Fellow features, so all I saw was the highlights on Speed News. The Speed World Challenge Touring Cars were more disciplined this weekend than that lot. "Pinnacle of Motorsport" my foot. |

Kate, which is worse, Kimi on death row or TGF jumping around like baboon? Tough call. In the immortal words of Woody Hayes, "Act like you've won before". Never saw saw Fangio, Moss, Clark, Surtees, Stewart, Lauda or Andretti act anything other than dignified and respectful.

As I recall, the "jumped up Bavarian brat" was jumping around like a puppet whose strings were in a knot the day that Senna died, celebrating his "win". That could be apocryphal, but I do seem to recall it.

Kate, ...Schumacher is not from Bavaria. |

My recollection of the whole weekend was that it was extremely sober Rubens had a big off in the Jordan and nearly died because he swallowed his tongue, Ratenzberger died on the Saturday.
Four spectators were hurt when JJ Lehto's debris hit them in the grandstand.
Sounds like prejudice Kate.

I think I remember like Kate, Schumacher jumping around on the podium until someone suggested he tone-down his celebrations as one of his colleagues was in the hospital dying. He's hasn't always been the most tasteful character, remember when he got his ass chewed for acting like a boob during the playing of the Italian national anthem?

Yes, that was the source of my "Jumped up Bavarian Brat" statement -- the Mayor of a city in Italy referred to him with that phrase in his chewing-out of said JUBB for disrespecting the Italian anthem. I know it was later pointed out that JUBB was not in fact from Bavaria, but the quote is accurate. |
