This is a power circuit. Imho, if Renault are allowed to refit the damper system, which stabilises the car and assists aero, and it is not too hot Alonso will win. If they cannot, and it is hot, Scummaker will win

That'd be William Henry Gates III, and I am pretty sure anyone who has used a Microsoft product would like to fire at him

I am sure he has a pretty good notion of Windows (pun intended) albeit maybe not being thrown through one

So we could throw him through 98 windows or windows 98

Thankie. I was just about to say the same about your signature. It's so different I just love it!
When I decided to add one I was actually torn between two potential texts. The other one was again a Douglas Adams quote: "Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."

I think you could have a whole collection from Douglas Adams.
"so long and thanks for all the fish" is one of my favourites.

True, the trilogy(!) in itself is like a quotebook. I like Hitchhiker's the best: "The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't"
Regarding the Turkish Grand Prix... I tend to agree with Julian. If I am not mistaken FIA will announce the decision tomorrow. Somehow I think it'll go Ferrari's way. I just hope it'll be an exciting race with a few surprises thrown in
Given the heat (mid-90s currently) and the potential ban of dampers Ferrari looks the strongest candidate for a win. However if it rains... Now
that would be where the real fun starts. Then we'll be watching more spins from the pilots than Katarina Witt on ice.
