Text Message Challenge
Browsing through and deleting old text messages on the last train home last night, I had an entertaining time trying to guess what races certain messages between Alex and me referred to, and I thought it would be almost as entertaining to post some here for other people to guess. Here are four, classically vague, examples:
1. surely he can't have done it deliberately?
2. Indeed. I watched it live. Bad luck for kimi. I did really think they might swap schu and massa. James seemed more annoying than usual and excited. Weird.
3. how bad are those michelins?
4. I've finally caught up with events. I do like it when Michael wins.

Having not looked at the dates, I don't actually know for certain myself. So, here are my guesses:
1. has got to be Michael's incident in qualifying at Monaco.
2. this is pretty tough, but I'm going to say Turkey.
3. even tougher, the michelins were bad at both america and germany, but i'm going to go for the former.
4. i guess there's a 1 out of 8 chance of getting this right. i think it's germany.

Okay. I think I can I remember some of these...
1. I'm pretty sure you're right that it's Monaco
2. I think you're probably right that it's Turkey. But I think there was some kind of business in Hungary as well so just to keep things interesting I'll go for that.
3. I think it was Germany. I'm not sure but I seem to remember that somehow.
4. Well I stopped watching them on delay about half way through the season when I got my laptop and could watch the live timing. So I'm going to guess at San Marino (it could of course have been the European by the same reckoning but I've had to lump for one). Now you're going to tell me your messages don't go back that far!

OK, drum-roll please. I've painstakingly looked up the dates and the answers are:
1. Monaco (maybe too obvious that one)
2. Malaysia (neither of us were even near!)
3. United States (it was in fact for the qualifying session, so perhaps I only get half a point)
4. This was after the United States race (a trick question, even though I didn't realise it myself!)
I do in fact have some text messages that go back to the very start of the season, but I thought they were either too easy ('I know it's crazy. I'm not sure about steve rider') or too hard ('you too', which I think must have been a reply to me saying 'good luck'). Most were deleted during the year for space reasons though...
