Green eggs, and ham? :o

It looks like it will be good for spotting tyre wear at least - while looking sexy

looks like they ran over bad animal poop, and can't get it off their tires.

i haven't been able to see practice yet (had a migraine yesterday), but is the image quality better than normal?
I remember last year whatever cameras they used to film was like an upscaled image, almost HD...

fortunately you'll never find a picture of ayrton with that stupid smirk...

on a side note.. does any other F1 driver's dad ever get this much attention (not including nico, kazuki and other sons of former f1 drivers)?

Gooo Massa :o

I hope he beats LH. I really don't want to see LH win this thing until he calms his damn ego down. It's one thing to be quietly confident in your abilities, it's another to be as cocky as him and comparing yourself to Senna. I mean, I'm confident too...but I don't go around saying shit like that.

Well, maybe I do, but that's only after a few drinks in me :hs: It's sad too, b/c I really liked LH and was a big proponent of him... :hs:

Cocky or not, i can't advocate Massa winning.

Besides, Senna was quite cocky himself, wasn't he?

Many teams also expect rain to feature in this afternoon's qualifying session, but predictions for tomorrow suggest that this year's Fuji race will be dry.

green lines are fucking stupid... couldn't they have at least made it perhaps 1 green stripe (prime) vs 3 green stripes (option) or soemthing? its hard as hell to tell what tires are being used on the tv feed.
