One of the funniest things I've ever seen was on the Thursday morning at the Australian Grand Prix in 2007.

Bernie walks up to the paddock gate with Ron Walker, flashes his pass to the security buzzer-thing... and it didn't work! Bernie couldn't get in!!!

He stood there looking blank with no idea what to say or do... You should have seen Mr Walker's minions scurrying around to try and fix it...

Sometimes it's hard for them to understand that they're humans just like anyone else, no matter what...

Do the other 8 teams have 3rd cars in the plane, already unloaded in Melbourne?

Is that then made more complex if Renault and Mercedes are not running, that Red Bull, Force India and Brawn are also unable to run as their ECU's mysteriously go missing??

A farce in the making perhaps

And of course GV was supposed to have been tinkling the ivories in a less competant way - Jazz I believe. Meanwhile Giacomelli gave an in-depth talk on Terrorism apparently - he was an expert given his Communist background (seriously). Do you reckon the Panda was in the pay of the KGB? Maybe he masterminded the whole thing. GV and Prost shared a mattress apparently, leading Tambay to comment it would be dangerous if they had a baby somehow...

I do seem to remember the baby comment methinks. I do clearly remember the tri-x shots, printed a bit too contrasty. Long time back now isn't it, back when I used to eagerly await my F1 mag in the mail (not "F1" but another one from back then, theres a thread on it somewhere here from years back but am too lazy to look it up) I have a crap memory for names, always have but it does seem to getting worse with age)

Seems it was pan-FOTA view:

During the discussions, any position stated by the members of FOTA who were present was supported by all members.
God, I really should try and find some work to do and not spend all day faffing around on the Internet...
