Are you taking about the chicane after the tunnel and before the hair-pin? I think that is fairly new, I remember a TV commentator saying something to the effect that it's purpose is to bring top speeds down.

I think it's been around less than 10 years?

And Kuan, you may be quite right. A little psych'ing out on Montoya and Schuey maybe.

Did anyone else smile and cheer when Montoya's BMW let go?

BTW, if one of these F1 chassis companies came up with a tandem 2 seater and let the public buy full out race laps with a Pro in control, lets say 5 laps, what would you guys be willing to pay for such a thrill?
