I thought Trulli was the moving chicane.

For fisichella, he is also Fisico, in italian means body.
Also, on speedtv they often call alonso Fred. I laugh every time.
I also like to refer to Webber as Webbo.

On another note, can you wish Webbo luck now by saying "Break a leg?" or is it too soon still. maybe it's too soon...
