Take the plunge! Okay! posted:Stephen Matchett wrote a couple of interesting books about his days as a mechanic with Schumacher era Benetton. Really quite enjoyed "Life in the Fast Lane: The Inside Story of Benetton's First World Championship", just a breezy read. Those mechanics sure work hard and long hours! (big surprise, I know) Followed it up with his second book "The Mechanic's Tale. Life in the pit-lanes of Formula One" and found it to be a much lesser one. Still a decent amount of enjoyable bits but I really liked the focus on a single year and going through the entire season in good detail. Probably would have enjoyed it more had I not read it immediately after the first one, so that's on me. most hosed up thing: the man really liked Jos Verstappen  Oh yeah, the milk machine posted:i decided to put on a race today while i "worked" and randomly ended up on the 94 japanese gp at suzuka (seems like f1tv doesn't want to show the really bad races from 94)

A Motorsport article about this has hints about how they figured out it was Helmut:quote:There was the way the list of email recipients was formatted, which included two spelling mistakes – ‘Hass’ and ‘Dominecali’ – and the choice of personal or business addresses also offered insights about where things could have been coming from. Imagine getting outed as a leaker because you can’t get someone’s name right. I wonder if he usually has someone who fixes his typos for him.

How do typos implicate Marko? He strikes me as the type with one of those feature phones where the feature is oversized numbers on the keypad.

it's pretty easy to make typos when you have to press the 2 three times to type C.

Marko is probably one of the few people left in the world getting regular practise on a T9 keyboard
