    Well that nickname has historical significance, some medieval character but I don't recall the story.

    I found it ridiculous that someone is racing this weekend in a Tyrrell under the nickname...Ken Tyrrell...

    If I understood the rather disjointed, self-interrupting tv commentary, that’s actually his name. He’s an American with actual connections with the Tyrrell team from back then, through his father, I think.

    View from our terrace overlooking the uphill section. Not bad for a cell phone photo.

    Group D.

    The Spazzaneve driven by Franco Meiners.
    He was third then spun. Kubota won in a Lotus 72.

    I absolutely love the Spazzaneve!
    Did you check out the terrace right below you? Normally there are some gorgeous creatures down there.

    Adrian Newey was having lunch at the next table, I just wished him much enjoyment with his new boat and he liked that, he is having to put up with so much nonsense speculation now but seems very relaxed. He did well in his race this morning, fifth IIRC.

    He actually sat down with a friend of his at our table, I thought I was dreaming.

    He could not be nicer, great to chat with. I mentioned the anecdote that he picked up his son and then his daughter at school in...his 512M, he confirmed that, wonderful. He is having that rebuilt.
    IIRC it is not quite a real one.
    Bought in 2008.

    Wrong thread, this one is about the Historic GP which took place two weeks before F1.
    Welcome anyway.
