jonboyG has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
This is rather amusing

The afternoon ended with Hakkinen being given a lift back to the pits on the sidepod of Coulthard's sister car. The Scot later reported that the Finn was leaning into the cockpit, fiddling with the buttons on the centre of the steering wheel.

"I thought, if he activates the launch control mechanism, this is going to be a lot of fun for both of us," said Coulthard later. After a day like that, it was reassuring that the two McLaren drivers retained their sense of humour.
from Alan Henry's column in the guardian.

Billy_Hunt should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I love it when we get reports of a bit of humour between the drivers.
Just shows they are human and not machines
(unlike the SAS but that's a different story)

The longest pairing in F1 do seem to get on well together don't they

Did Coulthard receive a fine for picking Hakkinen up? Because that's what usually happens if you give another driver a lift.

Still, it's nice to see team-mates getting on well.

Valve Bounce has been held in scrutiny for further testing
I think he found out David was getting more buttons on his steering wheel. Now Mika will want more buttons on his wheel.

He was probably showing David which button to push to make sure that it wouldn't stall.
