Hey-ho, let's go! Hi there, boys and girls! Hope you don't mind ol' Mr. Devlin crashing your little party here. Thought so. Anyways, I'll stick around, ready and willing to talk and joke about F1 and everything that goes with it.

Hi Devlin, Welcome to Ten Tenths!
It can get a bit lively round here, if you hear somebody shout "IN-COMING!", just duck! It's all friendly chat really! What was your slant on Sunday's race? Are you a fan of any driver/team in particular? |

Welcome along Devlin,
We could do with someone with a bit of sense around here - we have far too many crazy people like Minardi Fan or Invader at the moment... |

Don't say "crash" too loudly, Dev - some of us Zonta fans are a bit sensitive ...
What do you think about installing sprinklers on all F1 circuits to make the racing more exciting? |

Hey, people! Sorry I'm a bit late with the reply. That's because I'm using my computer at work (don't tell my boss). Anyways, thanx for the warm welcome, I'll try to live up to the standards of the Forum (regarding both liveliness and craziness) best I can, in this limited time that I have. Just a quick reply to some of your questions - I thought the race on Sunday was brilliant, and yes Liz, they should consider installing sprinklers on all F1 circuits to try and make the proceedings more interesting (Bernie, I know you're reading this). Now, I'm not saying this only because I'm a Ferrari fan, I really thought races become a lot mor interesting when some water is added. I mean, when was the last time we saw that much overtaking (and mad attempts thereof)? So, that's about it for now, see ya all around!

Yo, Minardi-man, chill out. I'm trying to be an F1 fan first, but there's always one colour that looks nicer than the others. In my case, it's red. By the way, I heard a rumour somewhere that Minardi (if indeed they stay under that name next season) are in line for Ferrari engines (again) next year, instead of Sauber. A long shot, I know, but you never know...

Stuff sprinkler systems, most race tracks have a sam or a lake or an ocean near by. I propose they have some steeple chase races through....now that'll sort them out!!

No, you want the BTCC for that dambusters stuff. Lots more fun in a tintop.
Sprinklers are the answer. |

EERO, I'm not worried. Minardi fan? He's just a Ferrari fan in disguise, I'm sure of that
Crash Test, I think Ascari already tried that in Monaco (in 1950?). Liz, how about installing a sprinkler system on each car? Can you imagine the statements afterwards: "Well, the car was going pretty good, bet then I had a sprinkler-system failure, se I had to retire." |

Devlin, your sprinkler-system fitted to cars shows potential. Just imagine strategies... how much water have McLarens on board... Why did they spend 15 secs in their first pit and Ferrari only 9... The last cars on grid could start the race with empty tanks, as the track is already wet when they pass the Line (cheaters! DQ's, appeals, Jo Bauer will quit the job due to overwork)

Joe B would need a device to measur the holes in the nozzles. But that would just be more of a STRAIN AAAARGH!!!

See, told ya There's an idea of how to improve racing in general - not only would the tracks be wet all the time, but there would also be numerous variations of race tactics. Now, where's the closest patent office? I wanna register this concept before Bernie pinches it.
