    And that is both where the accuracy of the comparison starts and stops. I never knew Enzo, but you, sir, are no Enzo.

    When he was dead, not so much.

    Bernie is soooo innovative:
    On how people are not generally aware of the innovations he has been responsible for:

    When I proposed starting the race with the lights rather than the flags, people said I was totally mad.

    Silly things, but lot’s of things, like an exploratory lap before the race so they can have a look and see if the circuit’s still all right.

    So, when all is said and done, Bernie considers his biggest personal contributions to be using lights instead of flags and instituting a formation lap.

    @sharkd: those are pretty big though considering that they are used in various types of racing around the world. if he truly was the first person to implement those things, that's pretty huge.

    That wreck of Kubica’s is still one of the worst incidents I've seen and is made even more impressive by the fact that his injuries were so minor.

    I find it interesting that there are no shots of Williams BMW up there. The team saw some pretty good results with wins from Montoya and Ralphy boy. Pity that relationship fizzled.

    @f86sabre: Agreed. Montoya's pass on M.S. in Brazil in '01 (I think that was like his third or fourth GP) was simply astounding, mainly because someone actually had the cajones to divebomb and hipcheck Schumi.

    Peter Orosz, maybe instead of just BMW, you can make this a feature and talk about the history of some of the other ex-F1 sports teams. There are quite a few interesting ones out there, including Honda/Mugen, Lotus, Arrows, etc. that I would love to see.

    BMW is just the latest to call it quits in the F1 circuit, but a gallery of some of the other teams would be cool too.

    Proof that advertising works--to this day, as a result of these cars, I still have a very good opinion of Parmalat. Hell, I didn't even find out what Parmalat was until about 10 years ago, and I still thought that (whatever it was) it must be cool.

    @Syrax: Other companies that I have a lingering good feeling about as a result of racing: Olivetti and Alitalia (I swear to you that the Lancia Stratos could make dog shit sexy). And Benetton. Why are these all Italian? I have no idea.

    OTOH, years of smoking left me with a negative opinion of Marlboro that no amount of BMW M1s could ever dispel.
