Not only that, his fellow Aussie Ricciardo won Monaco, so a great day for the Continent all around!

It was a pretty good race overall at least. Telecast here in the States however, wasn't that great. ABC has really given up and I can't wait to see what NBCSN does next year because they seem genuinely excited to be able to broadcast the entire season. I can only hope that next year IndyCar gets the heck out of the way of the teams and lets them setup their cars. Almost every crash today was because IndyCar regulated a maximum rear wing angle and it wasn't enough for the air temp leading to snap spins that got some of the best in the sport and led to very limited passing because everyone was trying to keep from spinning for most of the race.

Will Power - is that his real name ? If so, what were his parents thinking of ? It's like Mr and Mrs Slay naming their boy Robert, or the someone by the surname of West naming his son North ( only a colossal idiot would do that, surely ). 8) :lol:

It's funny that they included 51 year old Kiefer Sutherland in a list of baby names. :lol:

Way back when I worked for Alidair, the hangar supervisor's name was "Arthur Minute", fantastic guy, ex RAF flight Sargent, caused quite a lot of confusion when we answered the telephone, think London accent guys: "Arthur Minute please"...and we'd say "OK" and just stand there waiting!!!...became even worse when he brought his son in to help out during the summer, his name was Justin, honestly it's true!!.

When I was studying for my A levels at Walsall College, there was a lad named Richard Holder.
On my Chemistry course at University was a guy called Duncan Dickie.
My Mom (a nursery teacher) tought a lad named Terence Bull.
And a colleague told me that a girl in her primary school class was called Theresa Green.

I wonder if parents don't think, or do this on purpose.
