Thats the way that CM would have liked to have gone no doubt - shame he went in the way he did - a copy of the accident report on the helicopter incident came across my crewroom and was totally avoidable.

But I echo the sentiment - you see how sterile F1 is now a days and then imagine Spa with no run off/barriers and trees everywhere, these WRC guys are probably the bravest lot in motorsport imho
