The entire track is bad - it's a Tilke...

215mph to 50....

Stupid...

Flibster · 15 Oct 2005 at 23:43

He does look like his Dad doesn't he...

Shame I don't think that Nico is good enough...

Richard T · 15 Oct 2005 at 23:46

Piquet Jr is better me thinks

Flibster · 15 Oct 2005 at 23:47

Yup - at least Matthias Lauda isn't in F1 - he has not impressed me at all - trading on his fathers reputation I think.
