I really miss the old days you know . . . when every session was fought out tooth and nail with every driver trying to set the very fastest time possible. These days it's all too much farting about, if I had ahd live timing when Senna, Mansell and Prost were duking it out every other weekend would have seen me loose 5 kilos in weight. :roll:
