Interesting the way you put that Ray

Just putting it the way TGF would have seen it...

He had counted his chickens, just one of them fluttered its wings in his face and he was sufficiently distracted to clobber a wall... until that point, it certainly was his title.

Sorry, I don't understand.
What does "counting ones chickens" mean?

[Wrex]

I was having a joke Ray, I knew what you meant.

For the record, Hill should never have gone for that gap, it was desperation on his part to reclaim a championship he should'nt have won.

However, Michael should have been disqualified or given a ten point penalty for a deliberate (IMO) move to crash into another competitor. Who came third in that year? He should have been champion.

The third was Gerhard Berger. But he had only 41 points (and being 2nd in Australia) so 10 points less for TGF would make 82, and then Hill should be the champion with 91 (not scoring in Australia).

Hill should have been the champion.
