Just noticed it's 18 years ago today that Senna was killed :(

Doesn't seem that long ago - I guess because of the Senna movie

A terrible weekend for F1 with the loss of Ratzenberger as well

Given F1 a miss since then

No one has died in F1 since. So they finally put safety first.

Nope, but caught the commentary on the news and it always seems to be "so and so won having lead almost from the start", which translates into - get to the first bend in front, and you may as well wave the red flag.
Cynical? Yeah, maybe. Prefer Rugby Union myself, each to his own.

To be honest, that was pretty much what Sebastian Vettel did all of last season, but so far this season, it's been totally unpredictable. Different winner of every race so far, with lots of action in between.
