Too many German Aircraft, sorry everyone

[C M Smith <cmsmith@domain.elided>]

It's bad enough to be verbose, unforgiveable to somehow send three 
identical posts. Great wine though.

Well, my post was sent before the results from the Australian GP were 
known, so remember you read it here first (three times maybe (blush)). So 
much for German Iron Vault reliability. The new Mercedes engine striving 
for the horsepower developed by last year's Ferrari can't seem to hold the 
pressure in. Of course it is a British Engine with a three pointed star on 
the cam covers, but then who knows how many Britons have been tweaking the 
ECU on the latest Ferrari. The most distressing thing for the other teams 
is HIMSELF opines this is the BEST car he's ever driven, Rubens felt he had 
to agree though he struggled behind Frentzen for most of the race (until 
Frentzen blew up in fact, great line though about how he always planned to 
pass Frentzen in the pits...duh  weren't you ahead of Frentzen on the grid 
Rubens?). As for Schumy, it is most uncharacteristic of him to praise his 
machinery before telling all what a great job he did bringing that pig of a 
car safely into first even though out qualified. Talk about no excuse to 
lose! (A quote from Dennis Conner, title of his book in fact all about 
America's Cup racing and how good Dennis was at beating everybody, released 
just before the Aussies kicked HIS arse).
