You raise the blade, you make the change

Rubens even finishing was a moral victory, his finishing on the third
step a real one.

That one's down to Weber.

Minardi, pre Paul Stoddard used to spend less than Ferrari's pasta
budget. While under Guido Minardi's control they were one of the last
true privateer teams with a long if not storied history in the sport.
Now they're a vanity plate for one of the most obstreperous and
contrary figures to ever walk the paddock, and with Ron Dennis still
involved that's saying quite a lot.

That says it all. Thanks. I suppose Jordan is nearing similar status.
This is OT, I know, but I don't wish to head off to r.a.s.f1. But I
have to admit that it is all such a fascinating circus, almost alive.
It's like Bob Varsha, David Hobbs, and Steve Padgett are my three good
friends over for a drink on Sunday. The choreography the teams with
which the teams seem to operate is incredible. Renault ebbs and flows
like a bright anemone in a tide pool. BAR dances right on the edge of
credibility, Toyota seems to dance right off it, and Williams and
Mercedes do this ballet of uncertainty.
Ferrari is the bully at the school dance, standing against the wall
outside the gymnasium door with the best looking girl at the school.
His hand inches up her leg, above the skirt.

I was screaming at my TV over that one. What a crappy way to end in F1.

Yes, but when you love racing. It's worth it.
