Why did they leave the F1 87/88C out?

The worst you could blame Castrol for is possibly not getting the octan rating to hold up under the conditions possible for TJI but they've done it for Renault on incredibly short notice as well and the team is so vocal about their issues at this point that they would've out and confirmed that if it was. My feeling is that it's still a Honda issue.

This is the most damning rebuttal of that theory, imo. Honda would not be so publicly taking all the punches if they thought for a second it was BP's fault.

Eddie Irvine is from Northern Ireland and raced under a British flag, so Tim's the only true Irishman.

Also GramCracker, of course Coulthard's Scottish, was his helmet too subtle for you?

His 2004 Monaco pole lap is still one of my favourite onboards ever.

Very few corrections, the sheer speed of it and the just the absolute confidence and understanding he has with the track and car behaviour is astounding, mmmhmmm...

It's sad that people think "Trulli Train" just means "slow" when in fact he was an outrageously good qualifier who was very difficult to pass.

That's a sexy lap, when he comes out of the tunnel and takes that chicane at basically full throttle then no lift around next few turns, maaaaan.

The Americans (who are British/Australian) shut up during onboards. British media outlets simply foster an honorless culture of degradation and self-serving fraud.

I have a certain degree of respect for Sauber's total lack of morals when it comes to grabbing any money or advantage they can, given all of the backmarker/midfield teams over the years who have disappeared from the sport while Sauber keeps pootling on.

I think Brawn is rather content with being able to run the sport/bath in the blood of his vanquished foes, rather than a lovely little team like Sauber.
