    Two legends, both alike in dignity,

    Around our fair Earth, where we set our scene,

    From ancient spy scandals to new mutiny,

    Where civil hearings make civil honours unclean.

    From forth the fatal pits of these two foes

    Four star-cross'd rivals risk their life;

    Whole misadventured piteous overthrows

    Do with their death bury their factions' strife.

    Their spirited dashes of their care-craft'd cars,

    And the continuance of their squadrons' disdain,

    Which, but the world's end, nought could scar,

    Is now the two hours' traffic on our week-end;

    The which if you with patient ears attend,

    What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

    Soap Opera?


    So instead of Rick McWilliams on General Hospital getting screwed over by his former lover's kid's aunt's grandmother's dog it's Dave Ryan getting screwed over by McLaren's pit chief's boss and F1's inept officiating crew.


    This all sounds confusing. I'm going to watch Days of our Lives instead. There I only have to follow Georgina McSlutstein's affair with Rodney McCantactforshit's African Lion cubs.

    Like I said yesterday, if F1 didn't have the ridiculous rule that you couldn't call the race director to see where you should be under the safety car this probably wouldn't have happened. Well, that and McLaren's testy relationship with the stewards. This doesn't excuse flat out lying to officials, but it does give a little insight into Mr. Ryan's thinking.


    How are the BrawnGP cars holding up? I read that they were a little concerned about the heat and humidity at Sepang since they hadn't tested very much in the heat.

    @engineerd:


    Barichello toasted a gearbox in practice- no idea if it was heat-related though. Button was P1 in first practice 'til almost the last minute, so it looks like they're doing OK. 'Course, with The Red Cars resurgent and Toyota running like shit so far, who knows what's gonna happen.


    If the stewards can stop stepping on their own dicks (yeah, unlikely), it could be another great weekend.

    @Captain Liverfailure: I do have to say, even with the drama with McLaren and ever increasing signs of lunacy from the stewards, this season is shaping up to be one of the best in recent years. Ferrari isn't overly dominant. BrawnGP, essentially a newcomer, is competitive, and all the upheaval caused by a raft of rules changes has made for some entertainment. I'm sure by mid-season things will calm down a bit, but we'll see.

    I still don't really understand why we haven't seen French cars reemerge in the States. I mean, we have the Nissan Versa, which sort of counts, but I figured by now Ghosn would have at least tried to get Renault over here.

    @Ash78: agreed STROJNGLY, but sadly i don't think the american consumer is interested in Renault, Peugeot, or Citroen. For some reason which is BEYOND me most Americans want SUVs, Trucks, or at least a big sedan. no one wants a small economic vehicle, especially one that has a sub 2.0 L engine (yet nag about fuel prices), or a french vehicle because you know "they're crap"


    for God's sake, they make my mazda 3 in a 1.6l variant we have not seen here, all we got here is 2.0 and 2.3, somehow bigger is always better.


    and again, screw the french, all they are good for is making perfume, baking bread, dressing metrosexually, and marrying supermodels.
