When you consider the guy driving the thing on Sunday was doing much of the technical development the rest of the week - and I mean the engineering, the desk job, not just the driving - we can't quite say that Team Yellow Teapot competed on an even footing with other teams, and a lot's changed since!
But they did win their first race in what, two years from that start? Not bad for a bunch of hacks turning up with some fresh thinking... something quite fantastic, would have been something very exciting to have been a part of.
