Last minute thing... it'll be 3rd time in a row making the road trip after all.

Look for me on TV! I'll be wearing the 'vintage' McLaren-Mercedes hat!

Sorry that you went all the way there for the result. It's a shame, but I do understand why it happened.

It's just horrible that it did happen.

Hey, don't feel sorry for me. I have great pictures, awesome video and a first hand experience of the infamous 2005 USGP debacle. The Indy manin straight granstands amplify every sound... booing and feet stomping defeaned the V10's streaking by.

I'l have many other chances to see an F1 race, but not many F1 fiascos. This will have many ramifications in the upcoming weeks/months/seasons and I was there to see it.

I do feel sorry for the occasional / first time F1 fan. What a disappointment for them. It's a drak day for F1 indeed.

Glad you think of the situation that way. Very optimistic view.
