Manuel,

Thanks for the nice photo of one of my favorite drivers. BTW, I think that, even though they were tools, the drivers have always valued the "Cool Factor". Many of them still do. Watches have always been tools and status even in the racing game. Mario still wears a big 2 button chrono....I just have no idea what it is....and Marco...probably just uses his iPhone...oh well....
