The driver's skill and proper engineering is what wins the race. remember the good old days with the Lotus JPS and the Marlboro McClarens.

And did I forgrt to mention an element of risk?

Sorry, from a one time dedicated F1 fan the last 8 years have been dull as dishwater.

Ah, a man after my own heart. Although I prefer the Elf Tyrrell's, Yardley BRM's, Gold Leaf Team Lotus & Gulf McLaren's

I went to my first GP in '69 and became disillusioned with it all about 10 - 15 yrs ago, when it became a business.

When I was nowt' but a snapper..................my dream car was a MK1 Lotus Cortina. Man that was quick off the mark.

My wife's turbo diesel shopping trolley would now beat it to the first corner. I think it's called progress.
