I had to laugh when the reporter asked lewis what he thought of tony's 1:45. Lewis said "what is that supposed to mean?"
He had no idea, nor did i, what good times were around the track with the boot. I've been able to drive the boot on opening day, it's fun.

Varsha and Matchett were not there, they had someone there filming. A lot got cut out unfortunately. The pre-switch/post-switch interviews were fantastic; the guys joking around in the pitlane with each other was a lot of fun too. DC was MC and prior to the swap, he was giving people hot laps in a Z06. I did not get that chance. The sound of a modern-day F1 car screaming down the straight was UNBELIEVABLE. It was funny because when they started the two cars side by side, the McLaren was started first. When the Cup car fired to life, you couldn't hear the McLaren any more. As soon as the two took off though, the F1 car drowned out the Cup car. It was so cool to rubbing shoulders with DC, Lewis and Tony all day.
One thing's for sure: my impressions of both of these guys has changed a lot now that I've had this opportunity to see them both in a completely different light.

the sound of a live F1 car is unbelievable, i have wanted to go back and see an f1 race for some time.

i really wish they showed more, it does seem a bunch of stuff was cut out inorder to make it for the 1 hour time spot. they could have made it 2 hours.

I got so used to seeing DC that I got numb to his presence. Every where I went he was there. Chatted all day with him on random topics. I even asked him what he thought about Lewis being compared to Senna (bc of Senna's death, DC got the seat at Williams remember). He said they had the same style but he seemed to say Senna was more ruthless.

Pretty cool Scott.

It's kinda funny/cool for me, as I was sitting with the both of you a week ago today in Montreal. Glad things went well, sans a bit of crappy weather, at the Glen.

Nice. He didn't give a shout out to his brother though.

Peter Windsor got a job?

IKR? No love for bruv. That's OK, we had an awesome time together. Two F1 fanatics watching that all go down was pretty special to share.
