That's an oldie but a goodie. The only time we see anything remotely close to that in F1 today is when it rains. I'm looking forward to 2008 when the rules mandate all cars must ditch their traction control system. That's going to make for some interesting 'moments' and put more emphasis on a drivers' car control skill.

I love that video, and the fatboy slim track fits the film very well. The only other driver in recent history that drove like Gilles was Montoya before he had a kid. The guy was absolutely nuts, always had his pedal to the metal and would try and squeeze wherever he could.
