I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

There are eight of us going, just waiting for the last two to confirm they've booked the ferry.

Can't wait. :)

Jem, do him (and yourself :) ) a favour and go.  He'll love it at Spa and will be gratefull for his entire life. I still know when my father took me to my first motor sport event (1978 F1 GP at Zolder). You'll be super dad ;D. How old does he get ?

Too bad Jem, but I know a little of what you mean.

My son is born the 4th of March, so I'm always struggeling to keep my eyes open on the F1-season's opener in Melbourne because of the kid's parties :(

I got an idea, bring him along, he'll get in for free! ;D

Same here, but then Zandvoort 1979.
I was a little earlier with my son, Magny Cours 2002. He was two years old then, and even remembers today! :o
