    "It’s a careful mathematical balancing act to judge exactly when to bring cars in [to the pits]–-teams have to consider things like avoiding traffic, tyre wear, when their opposition is going to pit, and how likely their driver is to run over the poor sod who has to hold the lollipop thingy at the front. Don’t laugh-–it happens."

    ROFL.

    Has anyone else heard these anthems so much that they're making up their own (English) words to them? :D

    LOL.
    One side effect for me has been every time I hear the German anthem on it's own, I start humming the Italian one right after it.

    Great times :)

    Absolutely terrific explanations.

    I can't tell where the German one ends and the Italian one starts - it actually sounds like 3 different songs all played one after the other. :)

    great link - thanks!!

    Juan-Pablo Montoya, a fiery Colombian who came to F1 after winning the CART “we drive in circles” championship in the US, and who has since spent most of his time swearing and whinging about not being as good as Michael Schumacher.

    So true, so true!
