Shit, he's even marketing the helmet liner area INSIDE the fucking helmet. :doh:

Another similar observation: Where else do you immediately identify the superstars by only seeing their eyes? Especially with open wheel racing - all you see is a person's eyes.

Schumacher the fastest in today's 1st day of qualifying.

Go MS and Ferrari!

It was a very entertaining (cough, cough...) F-1 race. Max Mosely stirred the pot before the season, turned the fire up from simmer to boil, and it's actually fun to watch! The in-car shots are truly awe-inspiring.
