Breathe deeply. Relax. There is no need to get excited. Is there a reason we can't have a civil discussion? Here is what I said; "I'm fairly familiar with recent F1 history, and this has not happened, ever AFAIK, but certainly not within the past two seasons." There is nothing lame about qualifying a statement with 'AFAIK'. No where in that statement do I claim to know 'all that has happened'; only that no cars have blown-over in the last two seasons. >If you DID know everything that happened, then my description of what >took place should have been enough to jog your memory. Then you could >have made your play for "but it's completely different" situation. See above. Given that the cause of the flip was in one case contact with a solid object, and in the other, a phenomenon of aerodynamics, I believe referring to them as 'completely different' is accurate. You apparently disagree, so we'll leave it at that. -- D a v i d H i l l m a n nma, scca, scscc, imoc
