Thanks. I`ll be at Stand E, outside the "parabolica interior". I LOVE motorbikes, motogp , WSBK, British SBK a few years ago, when Hodgson fought with Chris Walker. i ride too but only on circuits, i will never ride in public roads. I guess it`s my 3 rd passion , just after womens ànd F1 of course.

yup, my birthday is in september , the portuguese gp was in that month, so my family gave me the ticket as a present, they were very expensive . The first i went was in 1989, i was 13 years old and i went alone, the last one in 1994 but it wasn`t the same thing anymore, Senna was not there anymore.

Yes i stopped, infact i stopped watching f1 for a while, Damon Hill was no match for Schumacher, it was boring, and i was sad . That overtake on the outside is a classic, nobody believed it was possible, Villeneuve was very inspired and Schumacher was impressed by being overtook in that corner, great stuff. Thanks about the english, i try to keep it simple, and yes i`m Portuguese.

i'm too young to remember senna or the early0mid ninties, but know about it through the FIA season reviews. Yes, Hill is no match for schumacher. random question, dont want to offend or hurt you, but if senna didnt crash on that horrible day, when do you think he wouldve retired?

Good question. I think he had two personnal goals: First he would like to equal Fangio`s 5 world titles, he respected him very much( Watch closely the podium at Donington 1993). Second: He wouldn`t leave the sport without driving for Ferrari, he said it himself, he would retire as a ferrari driver. So maybe 3 or 4 years, 1997,1998. But who knows ?

i think youre right. he would have gone to ferrari in 1996, his respect for schumacher would have grown and he would see him as an ally and as a friend, but as you said, who knows, the past is the past

Oh you lucky, lucky MP4/4#12! Have a great time tomorrow! @Beer

Yes another pole for Lorenzo, but so far he's been a bad starter and Pedrosa a very good one, (he's been like a rocket! #Fear ) So I still say Pedrosa will have the upper hand on Lorenzo, but also beware of Rossi, you can never ever count him out! I wouldn't be surprised if he wins tomorrow.

And what on earth is wrong with the Ducatis....? :huh:
