No peace in sight
This year's French Grand Prix was remarkable. Not, though, for Michael Schumacher's easy victory; not for Fernando Alonso's valiant run to second; not for Rogers Waters' full rendition of Pink Floyd's light and sound classic 'Dark Side of the Moon on the Friday preceding the event; nor even for the fact that the event celebrated 100 years of Grand Prix racing.
What caused that rather tedious event held on a bland circuit in backwater France to pass into the history books was paper - lots of it. About, of all things, the engine 'freeze' proposed by Max Mosley and fought every inch of the way by the engine companies.
