Ralf rockets to P1

Yet another exciting pre- and qualifying session, this time for the F1 Canadian Grand Prix.

The venue is the picturesque Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, near Montreal. Cars that have higher straight-line speeds will usually have an edge over others.
And that is precisely what happened. The BAR Hondas and Williams BMWs went consistently faster than the Ferraris.


Which brings me to another point: what's the fun in winning on circuits that have all these straights? Ralf may think elder brother Michael makes racing "boring", but it is precision that matters.

Michael Schumacher dominates the F1 scene simply because he is a perfectionist, someone who believes in getting everything right, time after time after time.


Hey, look at what happened to Takuma Sato, right? If he had practised, Michael would be starting one position lower. As it now happens, Sato's down there.....in 17th.


Tch, tch.
