I remember watching the first year McLaren-Hondas ever so slowly accelerate out of the Senna corner (Canadian GP)...it was such an embarrassment...plus it sounded terrible.

I miss the old David Hobbs / Steve Matchett coverage terribly

Hobbs is the man

Sky / ESPN coverage is barely tolerable

The guy constantly screaming at the start of the race, mostly through the first lap is an auto mute for me. Why the hell does he do that.

Amphetamine addiction I guess

While I've become accustomed to the Sky Sports broadcasters, the Speed TV team of Bob Varsha, Steve Matchett, & David Hobbs was just so comfortable to listen to...also loved Peter Windsor doing the lead-in program/pit lane walk through.

Not really F1 related but did you see the down force figures on the Aston Martin valkyrie? Fricken 1400 kg, that's insane! This thing might smash the AMG project one if that's the case.

Felipe Massa is backing Max for the championship saying he is not making the mistakes from earlier and has matured into an excellent driver especially under pressure.
It's refreshing looking at what Massa has to say realistically rather than idiot Hill with his dilly dallying about Max not mentioning the cheat driving Ham has got away with.
Massa is no fan of Ham understandably for the hassle he caused him with his bad driving ramming him on a number of occasions at the time of their battle for the championship.

I have my doubts they will turn it higher than Brazil on the one race old PU,that's if they'll use it. The more resistance in the r/wing now should even things up as their bendy 'Monaco' wing won't be a feature.

Behold dijon has spoken! Well he has to say something after dealing with Max's fine money for a touch that speeded up the process into the illegal rear wing, the hypocritical background man.
