I met Roland a number of times, all i can say was that he struck me as being a really nice guy, very sad

Did I read somewhere he lied about his age so he could get into F1 :?

I've read that too..... think he said he was a couple of years younger than he was
 
He was in his early thirty's when i met him, i guess he might have "played" the game a bit to get the drive with Simtek. But ( despite his talent) he wouldn't have got the drive without money behind him.
 
button may have the speed, but at the end of the day he lacks experience and confidence - i think thats why he lost the last race
 
one of the biggest GP i can remember.

The victory been played on this race i know

the battle between Alain Prost and Ayrton was so great.

Both of most interesting pilots in F1 i think

The last 3 laps of the '92 Monaco GP with Senna and Mansell fighting it out for first place has to be one of the all time best :)
 
Jenson Button was five seconds slower than everyone else after failing to venture out during the driest spell of the day.

Michael Schumacher romped to his fourth pole position in five races with a typically dazzling lap at Barcelona.

Jenson Button threw away his chances of a second consecutive pole when he ran wide at Campsa on his flying lap.

Everyone else has decided to go home and not bother turning up tomorrow now.

^ LOL sadly I think you might be right :(


Montoya might decide to get his revenge though :D
 
Michael Schumacher continued his amazing 100 per cent record this season with a commanding win in Spain.

The result means that Schumacher equals Nigel Mansell's record of five consecutive victories from the start of the season.
