lol, even during the season you would have to wait at least 2 more days for a race! Maybe another week or two.

But yeah, Sundays won't be as good anymore for a while, and I'll miss checking if the result is the same on Monday mornings ;).

If you want an easy example of how difficult it is, look at Jordan. In '99, they had a fair-to-middling chance at nicking the drivers title with Frentzen until fairly late in the year, and thus concentrated on car development for that year rather than the next one. They ended '99 3rd, and slipped to 6th the next year not even scoring 1/3rd of their previous points tally.

yup, and that was also the nail in the coffin for Jordon too :(

Remember Frentzen coming out in the lead at Nurburgring and thinking, WOW hes only going to win this and get even closer in the fight... then a few camera shots later hes stopped :(

Madness. Hope Gascoyne gets a job somewhere else

Is Mike Gascoyne the world's worst person to employ or something?? He seems to have an inability to hold down a job for more than about 18 months.

Sure he hasn't made the strides up the grid that he did with Toyota but under his stewardship Force India have really closed the gap to the rest of the field. You do have to wonder if this is a precursor to a McLaren assistance deal which will likely see the influence of the Technical Director diminish.

EDIT: Didn't spot the official termination of the Ferrari deal before typing the above. Gascoyne's probably had a falling out with Mallya over that

yup probably. He's a "good guy", Toyota and him just fell out over the direction they should be going. However Force india... well i dont get it, what do they expect Miracles?
 
Q. Was the viking funeral your car had at the end of the Brazilian Grand Prix, the best moment of the season for you?

JB: It only took one match as well! Amazing. Last year they taped a lighter in my car. They didn't do it this year, they didn't need to either. It caught fire on its own - but it was a fitting end to a great season.

It caught fire, and then somebody's car rolled back into mine, which rolled back into Lewis's, who was trying to get out of his car. I was thinking: 'Okay' this could be interesting.
