pbanders, Thats interesting you bring up Schumy, if you watch him when he walks by the other teams, he's always looking at what they are doing. That right there tells you he's not just a driver. Montoya on the other hand, is a great example of a rich little Brazillian b!tch who doesn't pay attention to anything and whines about everything.

Very true. I had a conversation with a good friend while back about ego's. He was someone that if you spend a few hours around him, you would say he had a small ego, when in fact, he beleives he has a big ego, probably bigger than most. His reasoning was that he is above the game of argueing, above the pesents who bicker about meaningless things. He knows what he knows, and admits to what he doesn't know. And thats wisdom. I would say at times he is chicken, and doesn't like to get into anything that doesn't affect him personally.
Regardless, it was interesting that he mentioned the Id as often getting people into more trubble than their ego. The Id is what we do without thinking, our primal instinct. This would explain our actions if we felt threatened. In this example, we have dedicated our lively hood to produce performance 4 cylinder motors. Then, some puck a$$ 23 year old kid who ran out of aluminum foil the night before, challenged what we knew. We would then retreat into the Id and acted like a primal monkey, ignoring all questions and blabbing pointless statements about "i don't have time for this, i'm going to go put together my 400hp TIV"
