Late again - Mea Culpa - and a low-scoring round it was too!After averaging 43 points per round, our pundits could only manage 11 from the Red Bull Ring.

The race was pretty good. Bernie's thank you message to Dietrich Mateschitz made me want to puke though.

I'm sure that you have heard of the English sense of Fair Play? Well, after being baked in the Australian sun, it becomes Fuck You Orange Boy.
I suppose we could make an exception this one time.

Being Dutch has its perks. I can follow your reasoning and it'd only have been fair to have had a penalty system in place ;).
I have acquired some new sympathy for the Australians while watching the world cup by the way. The Australian team really seemed like a hard working bunch. Much better than the orange boys who play a horribly cowardly game nowadays :O
