Formula 1

[shaun]

Have been a F1 fan for many years, but this year it is really boring.  For the first time in a long time I missed the Spanish Grand Prix.  Did catch the highlights.

The most exciting part of the race was when Couthard passed Button - I think that was the only overtaking manoeuvre in the whole race.

It was the same old race with Schuey out front dominating in the Ferrari.

Formula One has become a procession of expensive motor cars.

Perhaps you Ferrari fans may think differently, but I'm a Mclaren fan.

surprising how the Mclaren fans think the sport is boring and not worth watching when they start to have a lean spell...!

you are not the first i've come across,BUT i have great please in the fact that one of Mclarens most faithful (travels to all european GP's ) has finally admitted Micheal is the greatest driver of all time ever!!!!!!!!!!

And yes GP's are boring.

[shaun]

Micheal is the greatest driver of all time ever!!!!!!!!!

Also allegedly the dirtiest driver of all time

I said allegedly because I don't want to be sued.

Don't like Scumbagger primarily because of his tactics and his frequent attempts (and successes !!) to chop people off.

But I am beginning to admire the way he consistently makes it look *so* easy compared to the others.  Roll on Montoya having a reliable car with consistent tyres !!

Never used to watch GPs and now I know why..... Gosh they are dull! And the people commentating (on ITV) sound like they're A] on very strong medication and B] watching a different race to the rest of us.

Now for some excitement..., where's that drying paint?

So was senna and look how many people idolise him.........

[gee_fin]

Shoot James Allen bring in Ben Edwards. Flatten out the wings, bring back slicks. Force engine manufacturers to supply more than one team and get Martin Brundle to annoy Bernie Ecclestone some more.

Considering Brundle's comment to Bernie was the only entertaining moment in the entire three hours.....

[shaun]

Senna was probably one of the best, but again a strange character, a little like Schuey, full of arrogance.

I suppose in a way arrogance makes you a good racing driver, eh Gee?

[gee_fin]

I don't consider myself any good - I'm yet to do anything worthwhile. I can't, of course, give an opinion on the Speed Series front runners  

[shaun]

Why does Brundle always think he knows better.

Always reminding the audience of his successful racing days.  

[Nick M]

To be fair, Brundle probably does know better than most.

James Allen is a muppet - he needs to go.  Quickly.  But Brundle has a genuine depth of knowledge of what it takes to drive the cars and his commentary reflects this.

[mb893]

Mind you, it must be very difficult to inject any degree of urgency and verve into what turned out to be 10 cars driving around in circles totally isolated from each other - but asking Mr. Brundle how you pronouce Mr. Coulthards girlfriends last name was a bit lame.

Boy-oh-boy where do they get these people?

Ben Edwards is currently commentating on GP's on Sky's interactive service, along with John Watson, and as reccommended by Bernie Ecclestone, live on ITV.........

You'll have to get yourselves round to my gaff one weekend (GeeFin and Mr Milton have first dibbs on the sofa...) and have a shufty. Whens the British GP?

Oh yeah, Blatgirl fancies coming out to Barbados to be a brolly girl or something :0 I'm not so sure..........give her a bell please Graeme........

GP pah. I rather watch Steve McQueens LeMans over and over. Real driving. Real shifting.

[gee_fin]

Excellent, that's fantastic news, apart from the sofa sharing with Mr Milton, can't we just let him sit outside and watch through the window?

And why aren't you coming out, come on, you'll get to drive.....(we're renting the circuit during the week). Ah go on.
