Comments, suggestions etc. all welcome. I want the new column to be good...

But can you be unprejudiced.Jens

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

No. It's as simple as that, because they are my views on the whole lot of news Im gonna cover. Expect a real big Wrap this week, with Frentzen going to Sauber, Arrows will probably announce their bankruptcy, and Spa is almost here.

Wouldn't expect anything less from u Jens. As long u expect us to sometimes agree and sometimes disagree with u thats fine. Looking forward to reading the first one.

At least you are being honest about that fact right from the start.

Maybe include landmark stats acheived in the week following a GP. eg a drivers 1st or 50th... start, another drivers 1st or 10th... pole position/win. I was thinking in list format at either the beginning or more likely the end. Just an idea, don't know what other people think.

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

I probably could do that, but don't know where to find out the info...

[nichosnz 0]

I could be of assistance (in that area) I keep track of all that information, just mentioned it as I thought others might be interested eq in Hungary

Anthony Davidson 1st start

Micheal Schumacher 50th Fastest Lap

Ralf Schumacher 20th Podium

David Coulthard 80th Points Finish

Mercedes surpassed 900 points

Ferrari 4th consecutive CWC and 12th total

Ferrari Surpassed 500 Podiums

BMW 100th Points Finish

Giancarlo Fisichella 30 points for Jordan

etc

You know what, that is downright excellent! I think that it would actually go even better with Sam's column, because he reviews all the races and a milestone section could be a great addition to each edition. Ill pop an email to Wez right now with the idea, Im sure your part would be completely no-obligation..

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

Just sent the email to Wez, I think he'll like the idea as much as I do. I think many will find the info interesting, if not in some cases surprising!

[daz 0]

I certainly like that idea!!!

I keep track of all that sort of info as I have a numbers inclined brain if fact one of my friends calls me "Stat man". I just keep track of the details, updating them after every race. Getting started was hard though as most books concentrate on the top x number of drivers or the point scores for each race. I eventually found a book the had full details on every race from 1950 to 1996 since I had started in (I think 95) I now had completely up to date details.

I haven't yet got a reply from Wez, it may take a day or two as I know he is very busy right now with other matters. I think he'll agree the idea is a good one.

Nichosnz, I think we will have your stats show up on my column, with the release day now changing to Monday. There will be a Wrap coming out tomorrow, which will also announce the change. There will be sort of a GP special monday.

[nichosnz 0]

A GP special that should be good. Make sure it includes who got the fastest lap, most sites don't show that.

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

Well now that the release day is Monday, every edition after a GP weekend will be a GP special. But hmm, I'll send you an email with info...
