   Well, I respectfully disagree... :-P We've got a  couple of sprints coming   
   up, and I am looking forward to them as I know I'll be bathing myself in   
   multiple hours of more racing those weekends, practice sessions are dull   
   as ditchwater no matter how hard I try to enjoy them  (exception was   
   Monaco, it was enjoyable to spend time just looking at the cars going   
   around at that place). Lovely stuff!   
      
   I've also been watching more of the F2 this season than ever before, too,   
   and have really started to get into it. Christ, I've even watched a couple   
   of the F1 Academy races as well and had good fun.   
      
   More qualifying and races = satisfied me. Bring on more sprints!:)
