I'm depressed.

I have nothing at all to do on Sundays now. There's no point even getting up.

Well, not until Sunday 9th March 2003 anyway.

That's the next time that a bunch of lunatics will pilot twenty noisy, ridiculous, pointless, expensive, beautiful, awesome motor cars around a couple of miles of asphalt at astronomical speeds for no reason whatsoever.

Can't wait.

This is, of course, assuming they make F1 more interesting for next year ;o) I used to be like that, in fact I used to get up and watch the Japanese and Aussie events, but I haven't bothered this year.

If you want to see lots of lunatics doing pointless things at ridiculous speeds, may I turn your attention to world rallying? Almost non-stop from January to November every year, too.

I know one of the things I love doing on a Sunday is plonking myself on the sofa, a tape of the last rally playing on the telly, a bacon-and-fried-egg butty in one hand and a steaming cup of tea in the other......sheer bliss!

Not to mention the vicarious amusement that can be derived from watching Colin McRae total his car yet again......

Would you need a reason to drive one around the track - even just one lap?? The Race is just the excuse - two hours of having more adrenalin than haemoglobin in the blood is their reason!

Even dreaming of it is enough to cure your depression!
