I'm listening to the qualifying on ITV. Is matin Brundle shagging Michael Schumacher. I'll have to mute it if he doesn't stop sucking up to him.

true...was a good lap tho, as much as it pains me to say it.

The sooner new rules introduced the better, although I can see problems with the proposed ones.

bring back murray walker i say,if the race is sending you to sleep at least he will give you sumat to laugh about.
the 2X20 min quali,s is gona cause probs with traffic imho

Peteff, don't think Martin Brundle is shagging Schumaker. He just has a brown tongue, Rusty

Bernie should rename it Formula Dumb And to save more money they could put brushes on the cars and make them lifesize scalextric car which the team drive from the pits (they do that already) Friday Qualifing could sort the running order. This would negate the need for shoemuker coldhard and rakeinitin. The cost would go down when those dummies are replaced with real crashtest guys. The results would be the same unless some pit guy pushed his controller to hard! LOL

As for commentry they could use the murryisms on a digital loop and we wouldnt notice the differance.

how about all get one lap each. starting grid style in reverse points order. ie schuey at back and some japenese one race only guy at front. so in order to qualify with a decent time you need to be overtaking!
yeah could cause a shunt, but it would a) introduce something called overtaking and b) slow the front runners and even the feild.

how about just not bothering to watch?

works for me, even tho I used to be a major fan.

if its less than comatose, you can watch the highlights, which I did last week. All the other races I havnt bothered with


whats the point in bitching? Would you buy a defective product? no. Just stop watching. once bernie finds out hes getting f&^k all tv income, he will get his mate max to sort it.

whilst people are willing to watch utter tosh, you will get more of the same.

I have been getting fed up with the sucking up to Schumacher the commentators all do. I accept that at present he is possibly the best driver in the F1 circus, and the qualifying lap on Saturday was good.

BUT - he does not allow a serious competitor into the second car in his team. The team is totally focussed on the one car and driver. He is not as good as many other drivers have been in the past. He cannot cope well with the pressure if he is challenged. He very rarely overtakes for a serious position.

As for the commentators - James Allen did write a book about Schumacher, so has obviously got some sort of obsession. Just not sure why we have to listen to it if we want to watch F1. I didn't bother watching the race on Sunday at all.

Only because there's usually a first corner crash at Nurburgring though. Ralf thinks he's bomber car racing next season.
