GP
of the year which will air tonight from Australia.
    Are you aware that Canada is on the verge of losing the Canadian Grand
Prix
F1 race of Montreal, the Toronto and Vancouver CART races and the
Trois-Rivi�res Grand Prix because of a new law restricting cigarette
manufacturers advertising?  At least we can still have them on TV until 1998.
After that is a big question mark.  Hope I have enough cash to buy a

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello, everyone!
Looks like the F1 season opener was a heartbreaker for any of you Team
Williams fans (myself included). Jacques didn't even get out of Turn
One! Ever the sportsman, he said in an interview that he had problems
getting off of the line and feels responsible for putting himself in a
bad spot (yeah, so Irvine could push him off). Oh, well. Other
heartbreaks:
1) Damon Hill not even getting past the warmup lap. His TWR/Arrows
   car pooped out with a throttle positioner problem. Y'know, Damon
   shouldn't even BE in a TWR. I don't know what goes on in Frank
   Williams' head, but it can't be right.
2) Heinz-Harald Frentzen losing his brakes at the end of the race.
   Would've been real nice to see the #2 Williams driver on the
   podium at his first race for Frank.
3) Ferrari's color. I know, it's still red, but not RED. No more
   crimson/black. A little brighter on the red. Y'know, you could
   put Michael Schumacher in a turd on wheels and he'd finish up
   front. What a guy.
Congratulations to Team McLaren. 1st win in 49 races, and they take
third, too. Gives them a big lead in constructor's points with 14.
Williams has 0.
Two weeks from now at the Interlagos.
bye bye,
Ron Hill

assistant: Hey Norman,
        Jeff Gordon is a good driver with a real good car and crew. he
        will be in the championship points run year after year. I am
        real green as a racing fan but it would have been too easy to
        pick on of the more successful drivers as a favorite to watch.
        Lake is a fellow Mississippi boy and he usually keeps his racing
        clean. He is an experienced but hungry driver that has increased
        his finishes race after race. In an unsponsored car he has
        finished 20th, 15th, and 12th respectively. This year is the
        first year that he can go into the pits and come out in a better
        position than he went in.
        Things are looking a little better.

Granted, he's competing against other WCS drivers, but the "big boys" have
the advantage (experience, teams, money, etc).  Just a tho't.

assistant: Hello RON,
That first turn incident sure took out a lot of potential excitement
in the race.  Eddie went in deeper than he should have, as he should
have pulled in behind Jacques.  You still have to give Eddie full
marks for a *fantanstic* start!
What a stupid thing to have happened.  I was really looking forward to
seeing what Hill would do with his new team/car.  Even though I'm not
really a Hill fan, I don't think he deserved that in his first race.
Oh well, keep learning TWR.
And he might have been on the podium had his brake disk not
disintegrated.  I kept seeing puffs of brake dust coming off his wheel
at various times throughout the race -- you could even see them
glowing!  I remembered reading Villeneuve saying before the race that
he was worried about his brakes.  A dent in the Williams armour?
Really?  I didn't notice any difference at all.
On another note, I really like the colours of the new McLaren car!
Very nicely done, IMO.  It was nice to see Coulthard get the win, he
deserves it.
I hoping for better things from him, and Ferrari, this season.  I'd
like to see some stiff competition for the Championship.
I heard some of the post race interviews that the drivers do, and
Schumacher said that he was faster than Coulthard but he couldn't get
around him.  So many things to hope for from Ferrari this season, and
things have got off on the right foot.  (Can you tell I'm a Ferrari
fan? 8-)
Ciao.

I usually pull for the lil munchkin myself, cause I find him a very

under yellow and Mark, in the lead and a sure win, pulled into the pits
