Re: A little rant about ultra reliability

While you can, and perhaps should, add all these different sorts of tricks to the tracks or rules to reduce reliability, it is a bit like the DRS - it leaves a sour taste to one's mouth. It's not natural. In a way, it can't be helped - it is a weakness inherent in all motor racing; tech marches on. ...

Re: Who Became World Champion the Year You Were Born?

That would be Keke Rosberg in 1982.

There's a "heartwarming" (YMMV) story on that, since my first word was "Keke". The name was up a lot that year in Finland. That's also probably my closest connection to F1. Either that or owning a bottle of Giancarlo Fisichella deodorant.
