Is it me? did I miss a GP over the weekend?
No, it's this coming weekend. See www.f1.com for a live countdown.
"Alonso isn't as ecstatic as Schumacher was when he won in China". Allen, please remove your head from Schumacher's rectum.
However, it is heartening that in the second showing of the Japanese GP today they edited out James Allen's utterly disrespectful quip about the reason for Giancarlo Fisichella's being upset. Perhaps they now realise what a total and utter cock he is?

what did he say?
Giancarlo was standing on the podium clearly very upset about something - he was obviously in tears.
Allen spotted the tears and, not having a clue what the problem might have been, said words to the effect of "gosh, look at him, someone's probably died or something".
At least ITV saw sense to edit it out for the replay.

Apparently a close friend had died on Thursday......
POst race interview....
Q: Giancarlo, congratulations to you too. It looks as though you lost a lot of time early on behind the Toyotas.
Giancarlo Fisichella: I didn’t have a fantastic start, I lost a position to Button. Then after a few laps, I overtook him and I was catching the Toyota guys. After that, the car balance wasn’t too bad. I had a good race, I overtook them in the pit stops so the strategy was good, the tyre behaviour was good too so today is a fantastic result for Fernando, for myself, for the team. But mentally, psychologically, today was very difficult for me because on Thursday I lost my best friend ever. I am really sad and it’s not easy so the race was important, but now is the life… like a friend of him, I would like to dedicate that third place to him and ciao to him.

I'm still a little dubious of his "F1 cars have around 2500 sensors on them" in relation to telemetry. I would have thought it would about a 5th of that.
Brundle didn't correct him though.
I think it's about a tenth. Brundle didn't correct him though.
It may depend on what counts as a sensor, and, for example, how many different data come from a single unit, but I believe that the top teams normally monitor 200-250 items in real-time.
Certainly when you see a chassis up close you can espy nothing remotely like 2500 different sensors.
If a car had that many, the weight of the wiring alone would be a problem.
They have what looks like a couple of hundred stick-on temperature tell-tales around the brakes and engine/transaxle, but even if you counted all of them you'd not get near to 2500.
