Really hope Alesi's total lack of oval experience doesn't get him or someone else hurt. This isn't the place to start.


I fully agree, but I want to see how this experience turns out, hopefully he will do ok for what he has.

Hey....bring them to the F1 in pubs meet? Talking with the guy last time he does think it's possible to show Monaco then the Indy 500 in the Apres bar in Birmingham.

Ahhh, go onnnnn ;)

Christ alive, the stuff Davidson knows...

Love the sounds of the cars going past while they interview Barrichello

See I was considering the Gosta Green pub, but if they'll show both, we should just do both there! Send me more details, and I'll pass them on....

And Alesi apparently "Exceeded expectations" in his first test, with a Lotus Spokesperson saying "We are incredibly proud of Alesi, being able to break that elusive 175MPH boundry on his first day of testing. We fully expect to break the 200MPH mark come Pole Day, showing our commitment to the Indy Racing League"

:D

If they are still saying "Indy Racing League" they should hurry home.

The animal incident I remember was when a rabbit caused a yellow flag at the 1988 Indy 500... (6:55)

The turbo boost will be adjusted for practice and qualifying to gain 50hp extra.

There's actually a rather amusing incident that was pictured in that year's Hungness yearbook. A couple of conservation officers went up to Al Unser during his speech and apparently issued him a ticket for running over said rabbit. The look on Unser's face is great, while you can see Tony George in the background cracking up.

Somebody (could be the man himself) has butchered Rubens' helmet design with random flags. Not cool IMHO :(

Actually I think the Indy version of that new car is by far the best looking.
