Ferrari Mailing List: Re: SPOILER --- Spa Reflections ---SPOILER

   At some point, ego and frustration take over and the brain stops 
thinking.    It's like a guy watching women --  once the blood leaves the 
brain, there's only one place for thinking to take place.   That's what Kimi 
was doing - he had one thought - Pass Hamilton at all costs - and do it 
NOW - after all all those people are watching!  There was no planning, no 
attack, just drive deeper into the corner, brake later, ANYTHING to get in 
the lead again.  Right now.  Just like the guy watching women - that kind of 
*thinking* leads to trouble.

   The Iceman, my butt - puts Prost's "Professor" & Lauda'a :"Computer" 
nametag into perspective - at least that's what I think Lauda was called.
