    Why are we building new race tracks in a country that practically consists of nothing BUT race tracks at this point?!

    Would expect Sainz to be at STR next year. Wonder if Gasly might end up in a backmarker seat as well, that's some pretty nice consistency for an 18 year-old rookie (though no wins)

    It's almost impressive how they managed to mess up so many big details about F1, yet manage to get several small things correct. I mean who thought "Nah, we'll do away with the super iconic "lights out" start, but make sure we get an accurate track map of Jerez" or "Nobody will notice that this JP guy appears to have entered Formula Lotus as a one-car team, in which only the works team use an F1 car and everyone else is in F3.5 cars (I think?), but make sure we get the correct Champagne sponsor"

    JP deserves a world championship just for holding off Grosjean in a car with half the power! <laugh>

    No clue... Trying to remember who's had a pop at him from the motherland. But if you're a racing driver, you're going to take criticism when you balls up.

    What an absolute pile of horse bab! I found myself like Dave from The Full Monty sitting through that: "I hope she dances better than she welds! Look at that! Her mix is all to cock!"


    Well... they did successfully recreate Grosjean's string of third places.... It's something I guess.

    Don't think he's having a pop at anyone, just saying he doesn't want to be a commentator when he retires from racing.

    I imagine most people will probably be quite please about that!

    If you want to add names, you may as well bring in Stewart (did lots of commentary for U.S. TV after retirement), Hunt, Watson, Palmer & Brundle into the mix too, plus all the foreign drivers who go and commentate in their respective countries.

    Mark Webber is on 5live's "Fighting Talk" this morning.

    Edit: Apparently humour isn't his strong point.
