    <doh> im already annoyed by the picture at the top of the guide of vettel putting his helmet on wrong. Bensons target audiance are now going to think this is the correct way to put a helmet on.


    ....and then I foamed at the mouth reading this

    Does Benson design the web pages as well? What a bloody mess.

    I lasted as far as the link to the BBC Nature's Platypus page. Why doesn't he link "nose" to BBC Health's ENT section or "Australia" to the world news section, too?

    You get used to it after a while and the fact the BBC allow "twit"ers to basically troll a certain driver becomes highly boring as it happens at nearly every gp.

    "I know where I would stick that finger, if I beat him"
    "He's only won in a dominant car"
    "I still wont put him in the top 3 even after this 2nd WDC"
    "Di Resta beat him in lower formula, none of the greats ever got beat in lower formula"
    "Get rid of Newey and he would be fighting with Massa and Rosberg"
    "Jenson or Lewis would of won every race with that car"
    "My top 3 drivers on the grid: Jenson, Lewis, Di Resta"
    "I don't rate Alonso or Seb since their teams use number 1 status"

    It's blatent subtle pops and I find them laughable most of the time.

    Good points. You can't really argue with FACT. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Benson seems to have taken stock of DHC's opinion before tweeting his blog:

    The kimi Raikkonen Top gear video is up but can you spot the BBC fail below it?

    EDIT: There is actually hilariously two fails above as it seems they dont even pay attention to their own program

    I thought they were just repeating Raikkonen's joke.

    Surprisingly good, thought that was a good as James Allen's to be fair. And you're right I don't like it, there was nothing in it to laugh about it. <cry>
