    Not worried, I have Goodyears on mine...

    Nah, JV retired because of a water problem in the car. But that didn't really matter as the Saubers were expected to suck in Barcelona. No surprise there.

    If anything I'm disappointed about the lackluster performance by JPM. Not that I'm a fan of his, but I'd love to see him take the battle to Kimi but it seems pretty obvious that he doesn't have the goods to do that.

    Best of all: Since I'm going to the Canadian GP I have to put up with CBS only one more time. Gee they suck.

    I expected the commentators being not up to speed (pun intended). I can live with that, although I'm with you on missing Windsor's insights from pitlane.

    The thing that really bothers me is the silly time slot. Come Sunday morning I basically go into cocoon mode from TV, radio, internet to not hear a word about the result. And then there is the constant fear, that CBS's local affiliate might decide to show something else instead (e.g. look at Baltimore airing baseball games instead).

    The whole point of a diversified cable network is that people with niche interests can watch what they really care for.

    There is Geno's East at Higgins and Dee/East River Road, just one mile west of Hooters. We should be able to line up ferrari's in front of it. They have pizza, salads, and sandwiches and at least beer if not a fully stocked bar.

    That sounds like a good central location. We could try it for the European GP on May 29, which again will be broadcasted at noon. Any takers?

    Day before Memorial Day? Some might be traveling and I don't know where I will be for sure, but what the heck, Im up for it. Monaco GP not as fun.

    PS: Is there a European equivalent to Mother's Day in Europe? Im sure each country has its own but is there a general one of the continent?

    It was yesterday as well, but less commercialized. There is also a father's day, but only celebrated in some countries (e.g. Germany).

    Just kidding,BTW....:)

    I think that the strategy is that they just sit back,let some of the others win so that no one can whine about it. Then....BOOOOM!!!!! 1-2 Finishes will be Back!!!!....:)

    Just imagine how much sweeter the next Ferrari victory will taste. You can't eat dessert all day long.

    I took a drive by to see if by chance anyone was watching the GP of Monaco this weekend. It was a shot in the dark but I thought I would take a drive being I had the 355 out anyway. Let me know what you guys want to do on Sunday and at what time.



    Thanks!
