Don't you hate the off season?

It's killing me. It's really killing me. I thought that last year was bad, but I believe it's worse this year. I think in fact, that I'm missing it more than the Ferrari fans are.

You see, when you're on top, you look forward to the next season so you can watch your team win some races. When you're losing ground though, it's far worse. It's a MAJOR case of mixed emotions: 1) You can't wait for the season to start to see how much, if any, ground you gain on "The Enemy". 2) You don't WANT the season to start for fear that it's actually going to be worse for you.

I think McLaren will be ok in the flyaway races. We should have reliability on our side at least, as Ferrari and Williams plan on starting with their new cars...so far. Hopefully (wishing no ill will of course) McLaren can get a couple podiums from some reliability misfortunes of other teams. It wouldn't surprise me that we can do just that. What is KILLING me, and other McLaren fans I'm sure, is what WILL the MP4-18 do for us at Imola.

I'm dying...I can't wait!!!
