Don't be silly, those buttons were two way communication radios. Rubens and Michael's were on each side of his waist.

Yea-yeah, I saw that on TV too.

Obviously they should fire the entire "Gestione Detonate Rubinho Machina" since it didn't worked in the expected parameters...

Yes Peter. You are correct. Williams did this on Sunday so that JPM could first out-qualify Ralf and secondly out-race Ralf. This all had to do with re-fuelling, not the fact that JPM put the car on pole (again) or was leading the race until the Michelen tyres (once again) let him down.

Lets all praise the lord for sensible comments like that...

JPM put the car on pole (again) or was leading the race until the Michelen tyres (once again)
WELL I don't know about leading all the time.
more than not its pole then backwards at a rate or DNF as normal

There is certainly a pattern there. Then you ask the question "If he really is that good why do the tyres make such a big difference?"

Still if that is the excuse then fair enough I suppose.

I don't know where you got the idea that JPM was leading all the time - nobody claimed that and for obvious reasons - had he been leading all the time, he would have won the race. However, the tyre problems were well documented during the race by the commentators, and later explained during the post race intreviews. So I don't know what you were watching, or where you got your ideas from but you sure got a bum steer.

I think you should read that quote again V. Don't think he said "leading all the time" in that context.

Valve Bounce · 10 Jul 2002, 09:42 (Ref:330880)

Peter, I note that you have been posting immediately after my post. It is not that I agree with your post that I do not respond - it's just that I don't read them.

Ralf was getting cought by HHF at the rate a over a second a lap until Heinz blew up. If is wasn't the tyres what does that make Ralf?

**Peter Mallett** · 10 Jul 2002, 12:56 (Ref:331067)

Good point but I thought RS had really given up after the shambles of the stops.

But it also illustrates what I said elswhere. HHF was really on it on Sunday.

Valve I was responding to Don V . I agree jpm leading all the time NOW that's funny
