Look at Renault&Ferrari, they are not overloaded with flaps, wings,... and they are the fastest. **couch-Mclaren** Razz

In their press-release Red Bull Racing wrote:

As usual, our own Mr. Coulthard is somewhat mystified by all this as he is no fan of the round ball game and probably thinks the chanting of “Zidane, Zidane,” is what fans say when they want the people in front of them to “Sitdown, Sitdown.”

The subject of Juan Pablo Montoya’s instant defection from McLaren to NASCAR racing in the US was the subject of much hot air in an already overheated paddock. Some people were surprised but when you think that “Monty” has already lived in the States, he likes fast food and burgers, he would seem to be absolutely perfect material for the particular type of race fan who loves NASCAR. Michael Schumacher was evidently heartbroken that the Colombian won’t be joining him on the grid anymore. Asked what he felt about JPM’s departure his answer was succinct: “next question!”

Did I mention I love RBR? Embarassed
