http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education ... _rev.shtml I was revising from this site anyway and it gives a pretty good explanation of gas laws.

Are Ferrari more prone to this with their gills?

I've noticed that on both stops Massa's car was rolling forward a little bit. I have no idea why such a thing would happen, maybe something with the coordination of the jack people or Massa's fault, but my theory is that when the refueling guys took the nozzle out it wasn't in line with the hose adapter anymore so that the few drops fell closer to the back and hotter part of the car. Anybody else noticed something like that?

The comentators suggested he jumped the start a little but got the car stopped before we went green. I wonder if he might have had some clutch issue.

Over here the commentators were saying that the clutch pickup is so fast that he must have put it in gear and was starting to roll off....By the way I saw a slow motion video of the tire of Nick Heidfeld and I still cannot believe how he stayed on track..I will try to get the link as you can the wheel almost coming off numerous times. Did anybody catch his engineering talking/kinda of yelling at him..whoever was that cameraman should get a raise as it was nice seeing that because it looked like he just sneaked into the garage area.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Question is if they will work with the F2007, so far smaller ears seem to be more effective as in the cases of the R26 or the ones on the MP4-22. :wink:
