Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Killing Formula One.

[ken rentiers (rentiers]

remember the Monty Python film about the Holy Grail? King Arthur and  
his Knights all "rode horses" like we played when we were kids. I  
think there was even a guy with two coconuts making the "clopping"  
hoof sounds. Why not do that in Formula One? Eliminate the cars. Just  
have the drivers in full race gear run around the track going "zoom -  
zoom" like a Mazda commercial!
