Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 94 Monaco

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Larry: Yea, the first F1 race I took der Frau to was the 1995 Belgium race 
at Spa Francorchamps. Although Alesi and Berger put their Ferraris on the 1st 
row, both dropped out early and Michael dominated the rest of the race to win 
going away. It was raining as usual and we were sitting in the covered 
grandstand between La Source and Eau Rouge, opposite the old pits. All the cars 
were sliding around La Source before heading down the hill. They were all over 
the track. All except Michael, who looked like he was on rails. I never got to 
see Fangio in his prime ... but I imagine he and Michael were cut from the same 
cloth. Later, at a GP cocktail party in Montreal, a charity auction was held to 
help the mechanics' widows and orphans fund and I picked up Mika Salo's 1995 
Tyrrell drivers suit that the wore in the race at Spa. I gave it to der Frau as 
a token of her 1st F1 race. It's hanging right next to the boy's red Ferrari 
suit that he wears when he goes Karting. 
I still have the souvenir of my 1st Long Beach GP too. A pair of S&W handcuffs 
that the cop only had time to put on 1 of my wrists before I broke away and got 
lost in the crowd. You should have seen the stares?I got before I got a key and 
took it off. Imagine someone walking up to a beer stand and ordering, "Uno mas 
cervesa, por favor!" while wearing a cuff on his right wrist and holding out a 
$5 bill.

Yer reformed pal, Ferrari Bubba

Was watching an old tape of the 1994 Monaco GP (yes Dennis, I'm living in 
the past) and watching MS drive the Benneton is amazing as always - but 
after seeing his dominance driving Ferrari's for al those years it's 
interesting to see him throw the Benneton around and leave the competitors 
in the dust.

He as 14+ seconds ahead of #2 after 6 or 7 laps - and pulling away.  It also 
looks like the Monaco course has changed a bit ver the years.  A few more 
laps and MS passed his team mate JJ Lehto !

Simply incredible.  I wonder if he's given the credit he deserves?   People 
seem to talk about his leve of skill  in a "matter of fact" manner - as if 
everyone has the ability to drive like that.

Oh well - back to the past. ;-)
