re lack of FF and F3, I suspect that was a conscious effort against "glazed over eyes" by viewers such as my wife, who wouldnt give a hoot about too many details that distracted from the more accesible "storyline" for a larger audience (just as the "Monaco" bit superseeded the not mentioned Donnington first lap-in my opinion)

your comment about the karting years, probably the same thing, but your idea of considering Fullerton the best teammate he ever raced against-- being a mindgame...interesting, very interesting. Who knows, could have been a bit of both being truthful and screwing with Prost.
