h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Glad you've spotted the syndrome as well...actually, I'm 3 handshakes away from Colin McRae, I'll have to see if it's true of all British drivers, or just the F1 guys

Oh, and the little fact that he's Brazillian?

*grins*
Aaah the mystic F1 column resurfaces...

What's goin on?

I've been away rather a long time y'see...


...I don't know what's going on

It's ok, it's just a glitch in the programme which we don't know about

Y'mean...whenever anyone mentions F1...

It would be even worse if U2 bought an F1 team.

And if U2 didn't do very well in F1 and were given their P45s and had to go collect their UB40?

It wouldn't happen. U2 would be A1 at F1.

But would they bother if the coverage moved from ITV1 to C4?

Er........














...no.

Didn't think so, anyway, who needs to see 22, sorry, 20 next year, cars following each other round a track for 1 and half hours when you could be hitting people with big metal sticks

Me? Go Schumi!!!!
*is counting down the days til testing in january*
It's so hard being an F1 fan as you spend half the year with things goign at super speed then half the year with things going really slow...

But with one of the superminnows gone and Nikki Lauda getting the boot too, the bit where all the action is (lower down the field) just ain't there any more *sighs*)

Actually I think what they've done to qualifying could make things a bit more interesting. Or is it just me?

*pours himself a in a desperate attempt to keep this conversation on topic*

Now, if all the drivers had 5 before lining up on the grid, that WOULD be interesting

"That was a public information film."

But, hypothetically, if all the F1 drivers did go out on track half cut, who do you think could handle it best? I reckon Villeneuve could make a go of it...

*gives a big up to the Villeneuve massive*

This is trueb but after drinking those soft American beers all that time, you think he's acclimatised properly yet?

I think it'll either be McNish or Webber...

Oh, well, Webber, obviously - he's an Aussie, after all. And Jacques will have your guts for something very unpleasant if he hears you calling him American...

No, I didn't call HIM American, just after racing in the CART series for al those years, being exposed almost solely to American beers until he can get back home North of the Border...
