And now, excuse me while I interrupt myself.
The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.
Motor racing can never be totally safe and it never should be in my opinion.
This circuit is interesting because it has inclines and declines. Not just up, but down as well.

Speaking from memory, I don't know how many points Nelson Piquet has...
And the first five places are filled by five different cars.
With two laps to go then the action will begin, unless this is the action, which it is.
And the first three cars are all Escorts, which isn't surprising as this is an all Escort race.
Jenson Button is in the top ten, in eleventh position.
Andrea De Cesaris, the man who has won more Grands Prix than anybody else in the history of Grand Prix racing without actually winning one of them.
Rally points scoring is twenty for the fastest, eighteen for the second fastest, right down to six points for the slowest fastest.
Jean Alesi is 4th and 5th.
Ukyo Katayama is undoubtedly the best Formula One driver that Grand Prix racing has ever produced
This would have been Senna's third win a row if he'd won the two before
And Michael Schumacher is 37 seconds ahead, so he can refuel the car, change all four wheels, take off his helmet, have a smoke and a cup of tea, and rejoin in first.
We now have exactly the same situation as we had at the start of the race, only exactly the opposite.
Mansell can see him in his earphone.
Nigel Mansell is the last person in the race apart from the five in front of him
I love what I do.
You have to say what comes into your head, and sometimes the wrong words come, in the wrong order or I'd make prophecies which immediately turned out to be wrong.
Schumacher wouldn't have let him past voluntarily. Of course he did it voluntarily, but he had to do it.
If you don't trust someone to look after your investments, then they shouldn't be doing the job for you.
It is a huge honour to be recognised as the world's best commentator, particularly against so many sporting greats.
I want to say so much more than I have time for.
You might not think that's cricket, and it's not, it's motor racing.

Somebody said once 'Follow the money' and that is what it is all about.
I've no idea what Eddie Irvine's orders are, but he's following them superlatively well.

Eight minutes past the hour here in Belgium - and presumably eight minutes past the hour everywhere in the world.

Now he must not go the wrong way round the circuit, and unless he can spin himself stationary through 360 degrees I fail to see how he can avoid doing so.
It all comes down to money.
Either the car is stationary, or it's on the move.
