Whizzers from Oz

The Australian GP was surely the most dramatic ever? The expected winners were on pole, but unready for the race and retired. The other potential winner, Michael Schumacher, started from the back of the grid, on which both Stewarts caught fire. Unbelievable! Except that in the pre-race interviews Schumacher and Hill were asked about taking part in a film which will be an F1 dramatisation produced by Sylvester Stallone. Schumacher said he might be interested but was too busy with his motor racing. Hill seemed a bit disappointed not to have been asked so far. But I wonder, so dramatic was the opening race, whether Stallone had implied that the drivers might show him what they could do to be considered as actors in his film?
