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. ...

I already prematurely don't miss him from the moment he leaves the business to ascend to infernal planes.
Of course, it might be possible he will become some sort of an immortal robot and rule for ever.

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.
