sqd, do you have kids ?

When you watch a race at 3 AM in the morning that will finish around 4:30 AM, who is going to take care of the 3 year old when he wakes up around 7 AM ?

Yeah weird!

Changing the theme... didn't K-D write about MShumierda should win this GP as "no one no named Schumacher have won the canadian GP since 1999"???
Discuss that with K-D

Yeah discuss with K-D but unless I've missed it, I don't remember K-D saying that. K-D said something similar for San Marino. I don't think it is fair putting words in peoples mouth

Having said that, reading Ferrari's quote after practice, they aren't happy and that doesn't surprise me

And going by the practice results, Alonso is set to get pole and Montoya is looking strong

Good evening JV.
I try to take little notice of practice, unless eg., someone is 8 sec faster!!!
For instance I know that Webber follows a set routine leading up to 1st qual. Unless you can go out in practice and blow everyone off the track, there is little point in showing exactly what you have.

He is the only driver out there
