Why do they all insist on saying this? Lewis Hamilton says it every other sentence and it's driving me insane "We've made a lot of improvements since the last race and have got a good balance but it'll be tough..." Grrrr... "We put our lucky underpants on this morning but it'll be tough..." Grrrr....

Who can I write to to complain?

ScoobyWon't

Try contacting Max. He like any excuse to penalise the silver cars.

For sure.

Now those two words drive me mad. For sure.

PeteBrant

THey could cut down the pre race show by about 90%. It;s the inane questions and coments that get me.


"You'll notice that some of the tyres have white stripes on them...."

Yes, I have noticed that, could you explain it to me? I mean I know you have done so every single ****ing race for the last 3 years, but just to make it clear...

James 'I'll mention Michael Schumacher at every opportunity possible and repeat myself ad infinitum' Allen

ScoobyWon't

Argh! I can't find the remote. I need to mute the tv now the **** is talking

I'd love Damon to knock him out

bugeyeandy

Am I the only one who actually thinks James Allen is a good commentator?
Also, why is Martin Brundle never at this GP?

ScoobyWon't

Brundle is racing elsewhere.

Anyone else thinking that it might be the "time of the month" for scoobychick

ScoobyWon't

I thougt that "the time of the month" excuse couldn't be used after the menopause

Wouldn't it be great if F1 could start from a clean sheet. Bin all the current teams, bin the cars, bin all the current drivers, Bin the FIA. All new teams, all new cars, all new drivers and all new FIA.

Will never happen, but at least the 1st few races would be interesting.


Or, get some 1960's era F1 cars and stick the current rabble in them, see how good there are then - and see if they can last the distance.

Yeah really hacks me off Hamilton always saying this - infact Hamilton is starting to hack me off in general now. He clearly puts on polite "Im everyones friend" "good luck to my team mate, I hope he wins!" sort of show, but obviously this isnt the case in reality.

Speaking of F1 I'm seriously gutted for Massa - he drove a cracking race today, and really deserved the win - especially as when he wins he really looks like it meant something and is savouring the victory, unlike some of the other drives who look like they're keen to get on the plane home straight off the podium..

More lewis bashing

Scoobychick

iTrader: (1)

Don't get me wrong, I love Lewis and have followed his career since he was in karting (he's a local lad) but I can't stand the ridiculous interviews they all give. Every time it's the same old stuff. It's much more interesting when they interview Crazy Dave - the new Eddie Irvine of F1 or Mark 'I'm just a bloody normal bloke' Webber

I'm with Pete Brant on this

scoobmeister

Massa's Engine blowing up 3 laps from the finish, How funny was that!

They are limited to what they can and cant say nowdays tho.

SlimJ_2005

Not funny at all IMO

I like a close championship and this would've made things interesting. Trully sorry for Massa, he drove a great race and deserved to win.

lordretsudo

Absolutely. He is a good driver and a marketing person's wet dream, but as an interviewee, he's deadly boring, and is so 'nice/bland' that he comes across as insincere. It's a great shame Coulthard's retiring this year as he's one of the few interesting characters left. It would be awful if in a few years time everyone talked like Hamilton...

I really, really hope that when the BBC take over next year, they'll get rid of everyone involved apart from Brundle. Mark Blundell in particular is one of the most useless people I've ever seen on a sports programme.

Spoon

You're not alone. His job is by no means easy and today he put Hill right on a few occasions. He might not be the type of bloke I'd want to invite round for a social event, but he serves the purpose intended on my TV screen.

I doubt those that complain about him could do a job even remotely as good.

corradoboy

I was glad to see Massa AGAIN outperforming Kimi, but it was annoying that the misfortune of LH and FM promoted him to a podium after languishing mid-field throughout. LH did well to get back and recoup a reasonable point score, and you have to wonder if he'd have maybe challenged FM towards the end.

I agree with what people say about the characters, or lack of, in the paddock. Irvine was my favourite interviewee, closely followed by DC, especially if he's miffed about something. Even Schuey, a German, had more charisma than most of the lobotomised, dreary driving machines running now. I pray that Kimi loses so I don't have to listen to him talk about a win. I can handle his drab demeanour if he's sulking about something, but he even sulks about winning.

Yeah whats up with Kimi at the moment?! He just doesn't seem interested, but even though he was cruising along half asleep in the midfield, he suddenly starts racing along and constantly setting fastest laps as soon as it becomes clear he was in with a shout of a podium, so the pace was there?!

Vettel surprisingly seems like a bit of a character when interviewed, and hes German! Webber is also quite amusing and isn't afraid to say whats on his mind.

scoobmeister

Don't worry, if he starts to fall back off the championship race Ferrari International Assistance will undoubtedly step in.

No he wasn't half asleep, the problem here is the circuit combined with modern F1 cars.

Kimi spent most of the race behind Alonso and eas unable to use the speed he had in the car.

The nature of the Hungary circuit with all its sweeping corners is that there is nowhere to make a 'late braking dive down the inside' so all you get is a short straight and then a high speed sweeping corner leading to another and then another short straight and so on. The dirty air prevents the cars getting close and the relatively high speed of the corners prevents any overtaking attempts as the cars never slow down enough.

Once Alonso was out of the way after the 2nd stop then Kimi could drive the car to its potential and then he was the fastest man out there.

Nothing to do with being asleep or not trying. This thread makes me laugh - a little knowledge is a dangerous thing

I couldn't even begin to commentate to the same level as James Allen but give me the mike for the same amount of time and I could be equally as annoying. He drives me mad with his horrible voice, his wittering on about irrelevant crap, his stupid analogies, his irritating laugh and don't even get me started on the way he has to give a full synopsis on everything that has happened in the race each time they come back from an ad break. He is totally and utterly annoying. And looks like a greasy gimp

DCI Gene Hunt

.... that race looked tough today

Never liked that circuit. It's probably the worst on the calender imo
