jumping around on the podium like a baboon for one second.

At least the baboon jumping suggested there was some joy involved in winning... a wave and a half-smile is about all the others seem to give us.



In fact if I had to vote on a single instance of 'genuine joy' at winning a grand prix in recent history, then I think my vote would go to J Button after his only win....so far.


I'd vote for Eddie Jordan dancing down the pitlane after his teams 1-2 at Spa in 98

BTW I am going to the GP in Barcelona this year, but only because it is a freebie and I like the taste of free beer :P

As far as the jumping around on the podium goes, I'm old school about this subject.  Act like you've won before!
The greats always accepted the spoils of victory with a smile and diginity, scatter the bubbly and have some fun.  But Schumachers act reminds me way too much of the choreographed scoring celebrations we get from the stick & ball crowd, football players (International and American) doing their look-at-me dances.  It make work in those sports, but I think racing is something different.
