True Alex and I hope it does change things. I'm probably over-reacting as it is that time of day just before heading into another week of work, a time when I'm most cynical (I don't always think like this!), but I can't help feeling something is amiss in sport today and F1 just reminded me with the contrast between old and new (the Stirling Moss feature ITV showed us Brits). It's not even nostalgia on my part, as that era was before my time.

You have a good point about the accident, but I'm sure they were told over the radio what we heard on TV - that he was fine.

The racing, the attitude and the atmosphere is just so sterile, like at a work office. Predictable, professional, yet ultimately dull.

I hope F1 can get a little life back into it. I want to see doughnuts being permitted on the track at the end of races, drivers getting a lift back on rival's cars, fans handing drivers flags to hold up high on the parade lap. A little unsafe and unsavoury for the men in suits, but us fans thrive on such actions!
