Fortunately F1 fans are generally a level-headed bunch and rarely resort to blows. ;) I have always maintained that F1 is slightly different from other sports in that we do watch the drivers primarily but we are also interested in the cars and the technology behind them. Keeping the balance right is the important thing, however - drivers must always come before cars. Talking of women's tennis, how about female drivers in F1 as a subject? Anyone remember Divina Galica...? Gold indeed, Dan, but I have to work hard to keep the peace between opposing viewpoints.

Yet it is equally true that some of us suspect that TC narrows the gap between the best drivers and the merely competent. Next year we might (or might not) see how accurate our suspicions have been. ;) Your point is taken and is valid, David – it is almost certainly not TC that has meant the difference between teammates in the 2006 season.
