At Watkins Glen 79, JV started 3rd.

I believe he's talkin' about a practice session in the wet at WG.

And I believe we're talking about GV, not JV.

NFL - a load of men in very tight pants, rolling around with each other in the mud. Seems kind of gay :erm:

But how many of them were pushing in that session anyway?

Indeed :cool: After which Jacques Laffite said "Why do we bother? He's different from the rest of us. On another level ..." and his team-mate Scheckter said "I scared myself rigid that day. I thought I had to be quickest. Then I saw Gilles's time and - I still don't really understand how it was possible. Eleven seconds!"

And you are saying that when you are talking about the NFL, with their cute tight pants and their cute little "don't hurt me" helmets? :eek:

But then that's pointless to the thread: we are talking about F1 (and races, mostly) being boring or not: how many people watched that session? Was it on tv? I don't think so.

Most likely, as JV was 8 and 10 years old in the dates I mentioned.
