Okay, so who is reading this? Leave a message on the new message board, if you dare!

You people who care, I updated the Fantasy Formula One results. The place where it's stored doesn't seem to be working, but I did do it!

Right, so, today was the San Marino Grand Prix. I decided to stay at home and watch it rather than help my Dad sell little boats, and was it worth it? Well, it wasn't very exciting, unfortunately. It's a definite car circuit - the cars proceed around the circuit in pairs. *sigh*

And if it's a car circuit, bad news for McLaren, eh?

If you don't like F1 then my fortnightly ramblings must be almost unbearable! Mwahahahha. But I know that at least one person who reads this likes F1 too. I know this because we were texting each other during the race. (Hello Mark!) :-)

I did enjoy the pre-race stuff. I don't usually get to see it all, because I go to church in the mornings usually. And we don't get to my Nan's (where we go for huge dinners) until about 1pm. So we quite often miss the start of the race, let alone the pre-race stuff! There was a rather good thing with Damon Hill. It's interesting to see what ex-F1 drivers get up to. He's running a Supercar hire car business, apparently! He's grown his hair longer and ties it back - he looks very yuppyish. Hmm. The other interesting interview was with Alex Zanardi. He lost both his legs in a CHAMP car race last year, but he's recovered amazingly. F1 is so safe now that you tend to forget things like that happen in other racing disciplines. Scary stuff.

Michael Schumacher won again, in case you were wondering. Boo!

1) M Schumacher (Ferrari)
2) R Barrichello (Ferrari)
3) R Schumacher (Williams)
4) JP Montoya (Williams)
5) J Button (Renault)
6) D Coulthard (McLaren)

Both the Williams drivers seemed disappointed, which was a shame since they were the best of the rest. As soon as a team's expected to win they're not happy with anything less, are they? Sad in some ways. Whereas Jenson Button was really happy with his fourth place. The Renaults beat the McLarens! Who'd have thought! I like Jenson Button. I can now wear my T-shirt with pride. *g*

I think it can all be summed up with a few of Martin Brundle's wise words. When asked who his driver of the race was, he said, "It's not been a thrilling race, has it? Blundell was good in the Rent-A-Car this morning". It made me laugh, anyway..!
