Blinkz · 27 Sep 2009 at 12:29

Have to say that I'm not surprised that the FIA haven't banned them.

Honda were banned for having their fuel collector in the tank which when empty made the underweight, even though they run the car in that state as the engine would not fire. There was no proof that at any point the car was underweight when on track.

BMW did run underweight and nothing....

Love that from Brundle, Teflonso

Teflonso

edit: beaten, gah.

His gesture when having to go talk to the prime minister was priceless too.

Poor Martin getting the shaft by Bernie and his random unimportant person again

That was a pre-planned "we want UK tourism" tid bit

Of course, now renamed "Piquet's Corner"

seriously, brundle is the only good thing about the pairing of Brundle and Leggard.

Makes watching the classic GP's even more poignant with Walker and Hunt.

edit: also, interesting tidbit from Daddy Button about him wanting to burn off fuel.

Personally I thought Craneless Curve was a better name.

true, but not as accessible for the occasional motorsport fan tuning in.

=.

Brundle is only good pre-race. Once race starts the commentary is truly shocking.

And so we come to the start... beyond the first corner pileup, I'm not overly enthused at the prospect of this race.. other than that I still say they've been using pledge on the bodywork

knip · 27 Sep 2009 at 13:01

I hope its not the snorefest it was last year.

Ceryndrion · 27 Sep 2009 at 13:03

Get raindancin then...

that's mostly leggard's fault though, if he let Brundle do more of the talking I imagine we'd get more technical insight which I enjoy greatly. Problem is, Leggard is the "lead" anchor and so gets to speak more. At least he's stopped talking over team radio, only took him half a flippin season.

Arse they all made it through.

Django x2 · 27 Sep 2009 at 13:04

Both of those McLarens are way too low. That's going to hurt them I think

Arse indeed.... I demand carnage!!

Azza · 27 Sep 2009 at 13:05

Didn't see this race last year. I looks mental.

It's ok we wills see carnage. It's a street circuit. So no half mile run-offs.
