    I feel your pain...does it sound familiar :) It happend here also
when Jean Alesi won for the first time in Canada. Our national network
CBC end up switching to Hockey, which was regural season due to players
strike. Therefore there were still more games to be watched, while F1 only
happens once per year per nation. Lucky for me I've found another network
which broadcast live.
    Should get a high quality tape therefore you can set your VCR to EP, plus
able to tape two races per tape. That is what I do most of times :)

assistant: Greetings and salutations Ralf;
    I suspected as much Ferrari had newer engine, because it had blazing
speed at Magny Cours. Plus not forget in Silverstone had delight, shadow
dancing around Jaques Villeneuve's car.
    What Martin Brundle stated any car which lacked straight speeds, could
make up at the curves without losing speeds coming in or out without braking
as much as other tracks. Plus the Ferrari has shown several races performs
much better tracks like these , it seems to be better balanced than others.
As to coverage our local network (TSN) gets satellite feed from BBC? I have
to check on it next race.
    I remember when Prost commented about Ferrari had superb organization,
but failed on taking advices from drivers or to act in time. Besides how
many victories they had for that particular year???

assistant: Hello All!
I just came back from the drag races at Sonoma. Pretty sad to see Carrie Neal
killed at the races. Just another reason why NHRA should try to enforce a
more stringent licensing procedure just like CART, NASCAR and every other
racing sanctioning body. This was Carrie's third event after receiving her
NHRA drivers license. She went to do her burnout and the blower popped and
tweaked the venturies wide open. She had 4 options. Master kill switch, Fuel
kill switch, Parachute or run it in a low gear and blow the engine. She did
none of them and froze at the wheel. She passed the traps at 150+ mph and
kept going until she crashed into the barrier rail and launched the Top
Alcohol Federal Mogul dragster approximately 40-50 feet into the air sailing
over a motor home and light standard. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
May GOD be with her.

Yeah, Iknow. Like, c'mon, Bernie, give us a break! But, you know, they
add chicanes and take away the turbos, but they still finda a way.
Say... Maybe you could pit FOUR times a race, burn the rear tires after
the car is dropped, then scrub the hell out of the fronts on the next
lap, could end up having slicks after all (the grooves are only gonna
be 3mm thick and 10mm wide, I think).

    As you all see the German G.P was most interesting and delight racing to
watch.  I have to tip my hat literaly speaking for Gerhard Berger, for
great race he had which he has missed 3 previous races due to sinus
peration.
Not to forget to Giancarlo Fisichella and Jordan for fine effort, it seems
sooner of this year they might win a race if luck prevail on their part.
    There one thing which bothers me the most, Jacques Villenues is
making mistakes which never done on PPG CARTS series. It's uncharacterist of
him plus the behaviour towards FIA and drivers is bad to the sport.

assistant: What do you think is wrong with NHRA licensing ?? Pretty comprehensive from
what I have seen, the blindfold test, etc. They know you KNOW where
everything in the car is. I am sorry to lose another driver but cannot see
blaming the organization (any organization) for driver failure. Of course I
find fault with people who sue the tobacco companies because their relatives
did not put cigarettes down. I think we have lost most of our personal
responsability.
 I really, really hate to see this. I was in Memphis back in 92 (exact?) when
John Force used up a whole bunch of the park to stop his burning GTXmobile
after the engine hydrualiced at the traps. All John could do was hold on. We
may never know what really happened in Carrie's cockpit but it is really sad
to lose another.
