Use of charcinogenic Beryllium in the engines, IIRC.

EDIT: I don't know why I answer, if I don't have a really good question.
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

OK, sorry for the slight delay. It took me longer than expected to find this picture:

When? Where? Why?

I don't think I'll answer before 11:00 CET, by the way. I've got a cold and my warm bed is luring me.

Williams BMW FW23, San Marino GP. Both drivers had been rear-ended in the previous races in 2001. It works, Ralf Schumacher won his first race! :D

This is my source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsp ... 275892.stm

If I'm right, I'll use my go on Sunday evening when I'm back on so Johnson doesn't have to worry about jumping any que. :lol:

Andrew was right. 10 minutes!!! Gosh, it took me much longer to find the bloody picture. You will find references to the "Keep your distance" message in basically all sites that keep their records from the 2001 San Marino GP.

BTW: One toy car manufacturer has a "Keep your distance" FW23 available as one of their replicas.

No joke, Williams ran a series of product adds for BMW.
