Hi All,

Agreed, Gary.

As one of the older guys who remembers the 1960's era of Grand Prix racing with great affection I agree with the above views - boring. I watched the start and parts of today's Grand Prix and felt that working in my study had more appeal. Also scary how many of my friends and business associates feel the same - guys who were passionate about the sport in years gone by. Like the sparkle gone out of a marriage of long standing!

In an earlier posting I mentioned the South African bike Grand Prix last Sunday. Now that was something with riders in all three classes - the 125, 250 and 500, fighting it out on the ragged edge to the bitter end. Magic stuff!

I've just finished reading a book 'The Piranha Club' by Timothy Collings. It's a story of the world of Formula One and all the politics involved. It tells of a new world of Formula One that began in the 1990s. You don't wanna know!

I preferred McLaren's Ron Dennis, as a race mechanic many years ago, in oil stained overalls in a photo with Jochen Rindt. Now those were the good old days!

Hope Bernie and Max have the answer For Formula One Viagra!

We live in hope!
