Hey, Steph, will you do the China Report? (Gee, sounds like a film I would like to watch. Not as much as "The Bikini and the Pink Fluffy Stuff", but still...) :P

And, btw, I think James owes us the Malaysian Report. I am sure it will be a wonderful tale on how Alonso resurrected the dead, cured the leppers and made bald people grow hair again, as per my faithful recollection of the race :whistling:
We also expect no less than 32 pages on the incidence of cucumbers through the ages in F1.

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”

"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

As we were saying yesterday...
Fray Luis de León wrote mystical poems which prompted Cervantes to proclaim León "a genius who astounds the world and who, in ecstasy, might rob us of our senses." León was also an active man who taught at the University of Salamanca, translated classical and biblical literature, and wrote on religious themes. Twice denounced before the Inquisition, he was imprisoned for "heresy," though he returned to the University to later hold the chairs of Moral Philosophy and Biblical Studies.

Tradition has it that he began his lecture the first day after returning from four years' imprisonment with the words "as we were saying yesterday..."

George (Rainmaster) is going too so we can have two reports for the price of one race!

No objections from my side, Sean. It will be good to read both re accounts of the same race.

(And you both are a pair of lucky b#####ds, all said with utmost respect :D)
I'll be happy to let George do it. I'll be hanging with the marshals this year, [my Renault freebies stopped on my 65th last year - cheapskates!] which is a 12 hour day, Thurs through Sunday.  I can write a perspective on that if you like? It is also the 70th Anniversary of the event this year, by the way.
