And Crofty and Martin are still saying Lando can catch up if they run a few more laps. Soooo tiresome those two and whats with Zak looking a picture of abject unrelieved misery

Well, Crofty and Martin are playing to a British audience, so I guess they need to throw them a few scraps of hope

As for Zak? I thought he looked quite happy with PIA. Maybe he's just doing his best to continue with the perception of impartiality. It will become harder as we go deeper into the season.

I think Zak is happy as long as papaya is winning and it doesn't matter as much which child is winning.

I just watched Ted's Notebook, it was too late last night, it seems he agrees with me anyway about using the wets or else dont bring them.

I get the visibility safety angle but these guys are paid the big bucks...
When the WETS aquaplane then stop the race.
There is no rule saying they have to drive at the usual speed and ram each other like Hadjar did.
The rolling start was a sensible decision.


How good was Nico on the grid asking the real questions.

With Jos - about Horner - NOW you're quiet! And the look on Jos's face,

With BOT - about Cadillac - I cant hear you...with a big smile.

How to get answers with no answers...

Think Brundle and other Sky's are getting scared of upsetting certain people

I still think Mclaren backed the wrong person for the title. It has to be PIA, not NOR. Perhaps PIA's longer contract said what is ......... unsaid?

I don't think they "backed" anyone this year per se. I don't think there really was any real obvious favouritism this year like there was last year.

Whoever is the lead car tended to get preferential treatment in terms of stops. Like NOR lost a huge chunk of time this race because they decided they couldn't double stack.

They publicly said though they're backing NOR?

I don't mind the Sky team but you do have to put up with a lot of British bias. You could argue they are playing to their primary audience I guess. What is clear from time-to-time is that different presenters have different relationships with drivers/team members outside of the track which potentially inhibits them from asking the tough questions. Rosberg clearly will go there, when he was doing YouTube content he was putting out controversial opinions as well. Same for Villeneuve - they (and we) need those guys to go a bit feral to make it entertaining. Think back to Herbert - he was so pro-British he could have formed Team Brexit. Which is likely why he isn't on Sky now, they needed to mix it up
