[Paradizzle]

Thankyou Dezz... THANK you.

ITV is really going to make me sick with their fascination of Hamilton. Their Sepang preveiw is more about how good Hamilton is going to be, and if he stuff's up he's still our golden boy. Its non stop praise and excuses for the boy. Talk about favoritism

I havent heard thier Melbourne broardcast but i was told it was pretty... 'focused' on certain people and cars

Bring back Murray. At least his insane man love for schumi was interesting to listen to

[djr81]

The thing that used to sh!t me about Murray was the number of mistakes he used to make/still makes. WOW! Oh, sorry, got carried away.

Bring back James Hunt I say. "Ricardo Patrese is complete rubbish etc etc"

[Beer Baron]

well murray is famous for: "if I'm not very much mistaken..." and of course he usually was.

[ctjet]

I still have Formula 1 '95 on PS1 and i swear to god the only reason i chuck it on now and then is just to listen to Murray's commentary. James Allan is a jerk and Mark Blundell isnt too far behind either

PS. James Hunt is a champ

[djr81]

Actually, for much of his life James Hunt was a reefer smoking pisshead. He cleaned up his act in the end - just before he died from a heart attack. I think there is a lesson in that for all of us.

Favourite James Hunt quotation.

"We can't quite see the pits from our commentary position."

Explanation:

The commentary postition was in the BBC studio in London. The race was in Mexico.

[ctjet]

LOL

No wonder he's Kimi's hero

[dezz]

They were going through some of murray's mistakes at the GP (pretty sure thats where I heard it anyway)

stuff like

'The car in front is completely different, but its exactly the same as the car behind it'

and a few others that I had in my head but just went blank

I'd rather hear about Hamilton than Button though....seeing as how I have to listen to biased commentary on at least 1 pom...

[djr81]

All gone quiet on the Davidson front, however. He was sort of the next big thing last year too.

Gold Coast to shine at night

Please god no. It was in the Herald Sun so it cant be true

i hope it doesn't go. Albert Park is one of the best circuits on the calender. it has everything from the high speed stuff, slow corners, flowing chicanes and provides great opportunities for overtaking.

however, i'd like to see what the QLDer's can come up with. i hope its not just the Champ car circuit or something similar, as that would be boring in an F1 car (by comparision to Mel...)

[Necx0]

I love Murray and respect him greatly, but his time has come and gone. It would be like Hakkinen coming back and running midfield....

ROFL!!! at James Hunt!!! Love him or hate him, at least he created opinions!!! Great personalities from that era, Hunt, Lauda, Villeneuve

Martin Brundle is excellent and James Allen is at least bearable. I miss Crompton.

One thing I am surprised hasn't been brought up more in this thread. No more traction control 08 onwards!!! I have long said this is the solution in F1........next year will show if I am right or not

Not mention well founded, as much as Schumi made a few mistakes in his career, he was very gifted, very quick and had more cajolies than the rest of the grid put together. His only worthy rival, Senna aside, was Mika, I really liked Mika, but I love Michael. F1 will not be the same without him, much rests on Kimi and Massa now for Ferrari's prestige and overall future..

[Whiplash]

went through the last couple of pages and couldn't find anything so i hope this isn't a repost.

Spyker are taking STR and Super Aguri to court over the customer cars.

Officials have confiscated parts from Toro Rosso in Malaysia to compare with the Red Bull car.

can't see why spyker would waste their already small budget on a big court fight with Honda and Red Bull.

[dezz]

And another protest/investigation from Super Aguri IIRC in realation to the underside of some cars

Massa was fastest in practice today too

The reason Spyker is taking them to court is so that both teams do not qualify for world championship points at the end of the season. Thus moving Spyker 2 places up the table to finish 9th in the constructors championship. This place is worth roughly 10 million pounds more to the team as a reward by FOM.

That i would suggest is quite a lot of money to the team as their budget would be significantly smaller than most/all the teams. I personaally think they have a point and hope that both STR and Aguri are banned from points.

Yes he was a good driver and yes he had some stones on him but by saying "as Schumi made a few mistakes in his career" completely glosses over the insane and downright dangerous behavior of the man. Your trivialising the fact that the man insanely tried to take out two opponents in season finalies with what can only be described as 'severe brain fade'. But this has already been covered and everyone got to express thier feelings so ill spare everybody having to relive it.

Also i think as a shumi fan your projecting itv's and hence your thoughts on the rest of us. Im sure many people have had enough of listening about him and his team and will be more than happy to see the backside of him so that we can get back to the good old days of F1 were the sport recognised more than one great champion at a time.
