Austria 02-MS was very happy right after finish and cheered wildly(waved) only when he heard the crowd booing him he put on his PR-face and tried to look sad.

Anyone mention the prerace press conference for Suzuka, 2000? That was just an all-around classic F1 weekend! (Anyone miss Mika, yet? Bring him back!) The Title was on the line. Last race of the season. Mika'd just nipped Michael for pole. (Wasn't it, like, .001?) While they talked, spirits were high. Mika said he would be braking five meters later for corners. Michael said that he, then, would brake ten meters late. Mika - truly one of the funniest men in F1, I don't care what anyone says - quipped, "See you in the gravel."

Boy-howdy, do I ever miss Mika!

(Three car teams!!!)

And who among us who saw that race doubts that they were braking very, very late, indeed? What an outstanding race! Very Happy

Er, didn't Michael qualify on pole by a hundredth or something?

Sorry. Yes. Michael had pole. When you wrote that - I recalled Mika looking over at him, just before the start. Mika outqualified Michael at Spa. But... in Japan, I think the margin was infinitisimal. Smaller than a hundreth. Between .001 and .006. No greater than .006...

JPM running over his mechanic was pretty funny.

I have to disagree on that, someone getting run over is never funny.

Zandvoort 1966
Some of the press had been referring to 40 year old Jack Brabham as the 'Grand Old Man'. So in practice Jack was seen walking down the pit lane bent double with a grey beard and a walking stick.
He won the Grand Prix and went on to take his third World Championship.

Why do you never see sportsmen like him any more, has anyone got any pictures of that I'd love to see them!

I've read of the incident in several places but never seen a photo. There is a drawing in the book of Michael Turner's Formula 1 pictures with text by Nigel Roebuck but I have no means to scan it or post it.

McLaren used to paint the floor of their pit/paddock garage with epoxy paint to keep dust etc under control (for all I know they still do). On one occasion they wheeled the cars in before the paint was dry, The next morning the cars were stuck to the floor. They tried to free a car by jacking it up - and broke the suspension!
