Ferrari: [SPOILER] Some of you missed a great race...

I thought it was a great race. That Schumi move on Button was
spectacular, a straight line through a chicane pretty much. But the
announcing was awful. Derek Daly's liltingly-accented bullshit was bad
enough, but that Rasheen guy was gaggable. He sounded like a
young-and-still-stupid Greg Gumble.

I'll probably watch it again Friday just to check out the SPEED race call.

Surprised that Villenueve didn't fold. Maybe there's some life in him
after all.

I couldn't really tell if Fisichella's bust-up was due to driver error
or part failure. Could you?

Yes... Execrable.

I had lobbied for Letterman on play-by-, the Smothers Brothers (Dick
on color, Tommy in the paddock), and Craig Ferguson, for the
obligatory damnable Celtophonic Caterwauling.

Steve Matchett was notably missable.
 

Re-reading your New Testament, are you?
 

Sort of looked like the front wheels were not turning as he steered,
but I'd want another look, could've been just an optical distortion.

We suffered worse in the UK! ITV decided to go to a commercial break on lap
three and came back just as the last lap began! Absolutely crazy! One of the
most exciting races in years and we have to watch a Ford advert!

Yes. Missing almost 59 laps made it very difficult to follow the action.
 

Just shows the power Ford has these days - an advert running for over
an hour...

....of course what my fellow countryman meant was that it went to a break
with three laps to go. I'm sure I was not alone in shouting obscenities at
the
TV. The adverts went on for so long I wondered for a moment if we were
going to cut back to the post race interviews.

As you colonials would say 'un-fucking-believable'!

Other than that - best race I've seen in years. Alonso proved to be as
cool as a cucumber that has been in the refriderator for several months
(additional cooling provided by the air passing over those out-sized
eyebrows) whilst Schuey attacked with real (as opposed to carefully
calculated) aggression.

Nice.

With the 2005 car, I do believe that the dancing donkey is about to
open a can of whoop-ass.

I like "refriderator". I'm sticking with it.

Oops! Yeah, thats what I meant! Just got a bit too irate!

Just as I thought we were about to begin another 20 years without a
championship Schuey seemed to be possessed with the spirit of Gilles and
stormed the field! Fantastic! All credit to Alonso as well. Few could take
that kind of pressure and not crack. I think he's definitely in the front of
the queue to take Schuey's crown.
