Only Italy could have an F1 car do Olympic doughnut rings on stage!

Yeah that was awesome! Ferrari, woot!!

Missed it...but my (skater) wife has programmed the tivo's to capture all effin' 2+ weeks of skating etc. so I'll hafta check for that segment...

Was it Michael's F1 car or ?

Yes, Michael in his F1 Ferrari.. beautiful sound.

That was AWESOME. I really like how it was the very last part of the performance. My wife and I are visiting Italy later this year and the Ferarri museum is on our list of places to visit.

It wasn't on ice tho. Just a white stage....

did they tell it on TV that it was Michael?

on Austrian TV they told us that *nobody* knows for sure who's the driver, but they thought that it would be Luca Badoer, the test driver, because he's italien ...

sounded o.k. for me

in addition I thought if it was Michael he would have shown his face - he's a big star ...

anyway, it was a cool show

Gustl

Any links to this? I sort of fell asleep and the kids changed the show to some teen crap they watch

Not the best quality but here is a video:

they showed a short closup of the driver's face and helmet...the eyes definitely looked like schumacher to me

watching the olympics on NBC is unbearable . the canadian broadcast is much better.

I agree, NBC sucks....and what is with the "talking head" news stiff who fills the sports commentary with "news" snippits like scandals and political bullshit...I don't need to hear that....at least TRY to keep the political bs out of it...

yeah, Brian Williams, the stiffest personality on television, covering the olympics? What were they smoking when that decision was made

It's not often you see "Ferrari" and "nebraska ditch weed" in the same thread.

Only on the 914 club...

my wife watched the opening ceremony... I can't get into that...

women's moguls yesterday though... that was cool... that NOR chick is HOT!

I couldn't watch the Olympics without a Tivo. Of the 10 hours of overage so far I've probably actually watche 1 hour. And I'm sick and tired of Bode Miller now. It seems like I've seen his profile about 10 times now.
