We've been offered a Merc F1 engine to put on our company stand at exhibitions, think we might say "No thanks, don't want it pissing
oil and water everywhere!"

I'd have to agree that the race was a bit dull. I sat up and watched it live but I wish I hadn't bothered tbh...
I'm an avid Coulthard fan (in other words an eternal optimist!!) so I'm particularly unhappy but what really got me was the complete lack
of overtaking. I know it's been said before but these guys just couldn't get anywhere near each other before the aerodynamics stopped the
advance. There were some good races last year but they really need to look again at the rule changes and get their act together.
In my view they need to go back to slick tyres and reduce the aerodynamic downforce by restricting wing areas. More mechanical grip would permit
overtaking and would let them get a bit closer together. It would also take the emphasis away from the expensive aero testing and let the smaller
teams compete more easily. Also, get rid of traction control completely and let the drivers drive for goodness sake!
In fact, scrap all of the above, let's just put turbo's back in the cars!!!
Cheers,
Craig.

I have the impression that Button is a bit uncharismatic, but not a poser. ho hum. Being an F1 driver when you're a young chap must go to the
head a bit though.

I dont think he comes across big headed. Hes not like Irvine, who really was living the lifestyle to the most. Those recent bbc ads with button really
were poor, he might be able to drive but he sure cant act!
His missus is a cracker though!
