Oh, great, now I’ll never be able to sneak in comments about how Coulthard is really a far better driver than Schumacher, but can’t fulfill his potential due to having to play secong fiddle to Hakkinen. Other than that, I’m quite happy. And I know I’ll be safe from anti-Rush comments here in MPSIMS now. ---
