Some strange goings on in this part of the forum.....

I guess my prediction of Massa crashing and scoring nil points was wrong then  ....I can still be proud with attaining the highest score in a single race

You dont get the itv feed do you?
I found Martins quick jibe with eric clapton quite funny.


Clapton: yes I'm waving the chequered flag today.
Brundle: have you been practising for that?
Clapton: yeah a little bit, not sure whether it is best to do it with two hands or one hand, what is it?
Brundle: not sure about that, although it is quite a topical subject at the moment.

"so what would you do then?"
"Well I'd get on one knee and wave it like that

I do get ITV by satellite, but only tuned in for the actual race today.......visitors, so missed it. Brundle must have been biting his lip at that one because he can be very quick too.
As for ITV-F1.com, I cannot get any video feed due to not having a UK  IP. I have tried a multitude of proxy servers, but still cannot get in. Any ideas?

I want to know which producer muppet told him to go back to talk to Macy Gray. A waste of 60 seconds of the girdwalk. Let him speak to interesting people not celebs who are there out of publicity alone, not interest.

Did you notice how hard Bernie worked at stopping him from talking to the crown prince of Bahrain? Pushing him to the first guy then frankie
One thing I want to see is what they do in Nascar, where the announcer talks to a driver on the warm up lap. I know its tougher because there are so many differant tv companies, but each countryman could talk to their national tv broadcaster. So Button or hamilton for the UK and Heidfeld for germany and so on.
I think F1 really needs to get the sport back to the fans, especially now drivers are refusing to talk on the grid. I could understand with Schumi, he was signed to a specific contract with german tv, but even if he hadn't been, he's the sort that would have been surrounded the whole pre race. They need (the drivers) to remember that the fans are still the main reason why they are out there most weekends. Not the guy who owns the label on their helmet or front wing.

ok pat you challenged me:

Whats black, blue, and getting a headlice inspection?

Sorry, this is the best I can come up with for now.  I'll be thinking of more as the days go on, although its hard to imagine making the situation any funnier!
