[CSB] This interestingly highlights the difference between F1 and offshore yacht racing. In F1 they'll say 'this component has done 21,000 miles, so it's almost worn out and needs replacing soon' whereas a boatbuilder will say 'this keel's got 21,000 sea miles in it, so you know it's not going to fail' [/CSB]
