Re: F1 2007

German Nick Heidfeld, 29, is enthusiastic about night racing but says it's not simply a matter of erecting a few lights.
He said "It is not like a football game where you need a few lights. Just imagine if there is a power cut. In football you can stop the game but in formula one, when we're driving at 300kph and it is dark ... I don't want to be in the situation."
What a plonker. Hat er gerade heraus von unterhalb eines steins gekrochen? This is just column inches for the sake of it.
What does he think happens at airports?
Imagine - a Cat 1 approach to 200ft above the runway and Baldrick (the copilot) is calling the baro heights. "DECIDE" he mumbles. Then the lights go out ! (on the airfield that is - not in Baldricks brain where they've been out for a while !)
It just doesn't happen.

I think their biggest problem for night racing is rain and Singapore can be very, very fickle depending on which month they pick.
