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.

Mario Theissen, receiving the FIA's Ned Flanders Grooming Award for Best Mustache by a Team BossSadder still is that we might be losing an iconic F1 icon for the corner workers from the F1 pitlane.
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.
@e30m3: Not really a need to route for them, there's really only one way around the circuit, and if a driver gets lost he can just wait for someone to come around and then just follow them.
@Clown Shoe Pilot: You know, I just kind of siggered and skimmed past the typo. You, sir, have earned a hearty-clicky and a well deserved round of applause for making me laugh out loud at your well played overhand smash of a return.

Was Nelson Piquet's Brabham gorgeous or what?

@NatefromOgden:This one is for sale, a steal at only 18000 Euro! Throw it in a tired E30 and go looking for bikes to race.
