I don't, but I'm having a bad day and my boss isn't there to be found when I need him. Excuse me if I jumped too early.
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

The point about the missing teams is very true. Also the current schedule of Friday testing is detrimental. They should dedicate all Friday to running F1 and cut more test days. They should immediately throw F1 open to the best two GP2 teams for one season with a reasonable sponsorship payed by FOM or Mr. Ecclestone. Bernie has too much money anyway. His daughters don't need it and a charity for F1 drivers would do wonders for his tainted reputation.

Bourdais gets the vote

He was on it from the word go ,matching Vettel,who had done a lot of testing for BMW and races for Toro and BMW.
He had terrible luck really and he really had a bad start with the new car ,crashing it
seriously first time driving it in anger ...
But he worked his way back ,only the fact that Vettel was riding the wave perfectly blighted Bourdais efforts.
