So wrong

Right you are, Lloyd! The race, in fact, was the Webbo's from the first turn... or even before, if you count Saturday's Pole!

And if the BORE-celona race came to anyone, it was Fernando!! Wasn't he a little flustered at the post race interview

It appears that the pressure is getting to Seb. He sort of rattled on about how he couldn't figure out how Mark out-qualyed him on Saturday and then, on Sunday, he suggested he didn't know what was wrong with his car... and how he was having a hard time figuring out what went wrong.

...but I'm still thinking the kid will do well next Sunday in the streets of Monaco. I haven't decided yet if I'm picking him to win...

...let me do some research first. I'll get back to you later.

Jim, it seems like he wasn't wrong about the car according to this article:

We will have to wait and see in Turkey if the car was to blame or if MW has just found something more......
