Yup. Still can't wait until he actually wins a race. Maybe Barichello will push him further.
I think you were right. US GP was 2002 not 2004. That was the year the graphics were different to the standard that had been used throughout the year.
Another one springs to mind. Hungaroring 1997. The year it was BAKING hot!! Bridgestone's first year (I think), and Damon Hill qualifies 3rd right at the death of qualifying. At the start he's second, and overtakes Schumacher a few laps later and romps away! What a shame the throttle went haywire. An Arrows victory would have been brilliant for the team, shame they disappeared from F1. Goodyear later said that it and many teams underestimated how hot it would be, because the tyres just blistered in the heat.
French GP 2004, right at the end when Jarno Trulli was heading for a podium, he had a momentary lapse of concentration and let Barichello slip past.
About US GP 2005, Michelin didn't really have much of a choice in the matter. It has been said many times, but if the tyres are not safe, the racers on those tyres cannot race. The racers are what give us the entertainment. If one of them has a tyre failure resulting in a huge accident, that's negligence on the part of the tyre manufacturer allowing the cars to race.
That said, I'm glad Michelin are shedding 2 teams. The competition for Bridgestone should be evened up a little. 7 teams is just too much if there's competition between tyre manufacturers, especially if there's a problem like US GP '05.
