Your own torpor when presented with a staggeringly domineering F1
performance by Ferrari matches this group's well-renowned F1-apathy
exquisitely...

Not only did Schumacher and his Ferrari lead from flag to flag, but he
wasn't passed for the lead even when pitting _3_ times for fuel.

There were NO lead changes whatsoever.

No dry practice, no Saturday practice, mostly wet same day qualifying
sessions: And Ferrari and Schumacher deliver an almost perfect race:
Pole, P1, and the win, with Rubens taking fastest lap.

....Staggering.

Imagine, if they *hadn't* stopped developing the car several races
ago...

(Rubens being Coultharded while charging through the pack was all too
predictable.)

I watched the typhoon coverage/non-qualifying, and the race-day
qualifying, religiously ... then the torpor came, and I succumbed just
in time for race time. I saw the start, then went swimming ... it was
all very sucko. I wish I hadn't. I'll go to the amphetamines for
Adelaide if I have to.

Melbourne, and that's a long time to stay awake... March 6, 2005.

Next, and last, race is Brazil, Oct. 24: Should be around 11am-ish
for you West Coast types, a late-morning cappuccino should do it.

....I'm not sure if Rubens has ever *finished* his home race, it might
be too much to hope for a win.

And then, yesterday:

"Ahead of the last Grand Prix, which is Barrichello's home race,
Schumacher is frequently asked whether he will help his team mate to
victory in Brazil. 'Rubens is a very talented driver and has
demonstrated this over the course of this year and last. I am sure
that he would prefer to win alone rather than receive anybody’s help.
Each of us will run our own race and we’ll see how it turns out.'"

"I am sure that he would prefer to win alone rather than receive
anybody’s help."

....Is this Schmuck suddenly on drugs?

I've done it before and I can do it again.
 

I believe I'll manage on regular black joe. Not much for the Starbucks
routine.
 

Getting a bit peckish, isn't he?

Uhg... What do pimply kids from Seattle know of cappuccino?

....*They* probably serve it after elevenses.
 

I would say peevish, but your point is well made.

"Peckish" means hungry.
