Another thread on last weeks GP, Olivier Panis' drive went largely unnoticed. In fact, I don't think I've even heard anybody mention it. I think it was his best drive since Brazil 2001 when he was very unlucky to not finish 3rd (BAR bungled his pitstop).

To be honest, I like Panis. He has been a solid driver and one can only wonder what would have happened in 1997 if he didnt have 'that' shunt. Would he have been picked up by a top team? Would he have challenged foe the championship? I think although he is 37, he has still at least 2 years left and he would be very unlucky if he doesn't drive next year. (unlike Toyota getting rid of Salo at the end of 02, he was past it in 2000!!!)
