:) Both are brilliant I'm sure, but it's just a weird situation when nothing interesting could get out to public :) . Not their fault...getting inside that lab is almost the max. you can achieve as a journalist i guess :)

I thought the question about which team pilot used the most fuel per lap could have been played off quite easily by just saying "there is not any measurable difference", now she has me wondering which one it is that uses a bit more if one consistently does.
Of course now we know why Fred is going a little faster than Massa.
I could tell by her body language that Massa gets the consumer grade "V-Power”,
and Mr. .6 gets the racing cocktail. :D

Windsor not brilliant, unless you are referring to running a confidence racket, and at that he was only adequate. :lol:

Windsor is asking very unsophisticated questions (engine and gear oil the same?)
plus she is only in the job since february...
No wonder she will not give away some potentially sensitive information and as the one who runs the business that weekend she surely is not going to answer i have to ask if I´m allowed to tell you more..
windsor not even has a clue about lubricant terminology and seems not to be well prepared for the interview methinks.You can always extract a bit of information when asking very specific questions so arranging a meeting with someone who has a clue of tribology would have worked wonders..

I think this is a convenient way to talk about a team, your public support. This is not a bit funny not to be a sports fan itself.

Then I'd be much better than all of them ;) driving in the GLP series on the nordschleife I know every corner and the best line through it. But I can only recommend driving a lap there if you can, it is a magnificent track with incredible elevation.
It's a dream 8) but who knows with the amount of times I have been to Germany maybe one day itbwill come true :lol:

For just a few euros one can take a car onto the old track and soak up what was one of the most feared and yet respected circuits in the history of motorsport.
I beg to differ....

The Isle Of Man TT circuit is 37.75 miles (60km) per lap, it is a road circuit that has over 200 corners, 400 meters of elevation, numerous jumps, suspension breaking hollows, is surrounded by stone walls, houses and lamp posts, has no run-offs at all, has an average lap speed of over 131mph (211kph), and in 2006 the top speed recorded was 206mph (332kph).

And all that is done on two wheels with nothing more than racing leathers and a bit of personal body armor. In the 107 years since racing has taken part on the course, over 230 riders have died in the quest for glory. Despite repeated doubts over safety, the TT circuit remains as the ultimate racing challenge in the world with international riders continuing to flock to it.

(mostly taken from my head)

Sorry, but the Nurburgring, even in its most treacherous incarnation cannot even come close.

He claimed that the Nurburgring was the most feared and respected circuit. The TT circuit is far greater.
