well.....

here's this bit of opinion.

Schumacher came onto the scene, and was stupid fast with Benneton.

Back in the day, telemetry was basically knowing the stop watch, and sector times... you could see he was fast, but not where he was fast.

modern telemetry lets you see the speed everywhere, the throttle/brake position, steering lock, stability control etc. All this was in its infancy when Schui started.

He wins for Beneton, and they have all this info, and low and behold Flavio knows what to search for in a new driver... and even how to train a new driver to match the telemetry results that schui had.

Its said that drivers are nearly equal... they are fast into the corner, and fast out. Where Michael stood out was mid-corner speed, and that is where he made up so much time over the others.

low and behold, Alonso is very fast... much faster then his teammate most of the time...

well done Michael, but Massa didn't succeed to keep Alonso behind him



here's a short preview of my amazing trip to Magny-Cours
to make it short: I work in a company which uses composite materials, this compyny ACG is also a partner of McLaren-MB and since my collegue didn't want to go, I was happy (you may call my lucky-SOB or similar ) to get his invitation to spend the friday (note: low level VIP) as a guest of Mercedes


track seen from the starting line


stunning '63 AMG


view from Paddock Club MB-lounge and close up in Pit-Lane


several training sessions


driver parking (Massa & MSC in 4porte, Kimi and De la Rosa in the S class


Saturday I was sneaking in the circuit and followed the 3rd training at the Adelaide curve


it was my first time to see them live :shock: , it was a blast!!
:shock: loud, powerful, amazing
:shock: breaking is incredible
the hospitality in the Paddock Club is not bad either

More to come asap ...

Just got done watching the race.... A bit boring in the second half. But the first part of the race was a lot of fun.

So Schu scored the hat-trick for the 22nd time, double that of the next driver

Great stuff.

Not crying, not bitching, just an observation. You just keep whining how Alonso should break his legs and shit, and don't forget to change your daiper every now and then....

I'm pretty sure he was just kidding around, not whining about it...
