When Will The British F1 Media Explode????

[Ciro Pabón]

First, I like BBC. Second, Hamilton is the best driver since Schumacher arrived. Numbers are numbers, period. Let the british enjoy a little (those that can, anyway).

Third, sure, UK has tabloids.

Now, you dare to tell me that you don't have them in other countries... nor patriotic reporters.

Let me give you an example about the commentaries on the man from Oviedo:

"Fernando Alonso is god. He is the f*cking master. He is extra-cute. I love you more than anybody, may the little Virgin of Fatima protect you. You're the best pilot in the ENTIRE WORLD! Alonso is my idol, my inspiration, I'll never forget how you have changed my life. Thanks to Alonso I hope someday my dreams will come true. He is not only the son of an Asturian miner, he proves that our country is the best. Fernando, rosebud, we want a son from you!!"

On the other hand:

"I'm up to my bollocks of the SOBs that have no idea of Formula 1 and now have discovered the sport. Two days ago an spaniard steps on F1 and now you love him. In Spain and in F1, without Alonso we lived better. You make me puke, you disgust me. I'd like to see you the day Alonso does not win to see how many of you continue in F1..."

So, don't complain about british tabloids: you could be reading colombian ones!

I wonder how many recall when Mansell was the toast of the British press. It was the same thing, uncontrolled hero-worship by many who knew very little about racing.

ive signed too...it ll be a relief if they stop it! even Slater was jacking off all over the microphone when LH & Alonso were lapping others...im sick of it.

Ahhh... so THAT'S why his voice was shaking so much.

Glad to see I'm not alone, mate. I watch the GPs over Star, as well, and the burgeoning Hamy-Lovefest is a bit worrying.

p.s. I think Lewis is a fantastic driver.

yup, Mutua Madrileña (law and insurance firm), Santander (consumer bank). Mutua Madrileña followed him from Renault.

Is there any way we can petition to stop James Allen from talking when LH crosses the line for his first GP win? I remember sinking into my seat when Allen made 'that noise' when Jenson Button won his first GP - cringe cringe cringe. Much better would be for Martin Brundle to come up with a sensible, profound and meaningful statement than have James Allen guff all over it.

Maybe get Murray to pre-record a soundbite lol.

They should get a DJ in the studio with M.Walker’s pre-recorded samples. One for the start, a couple for finish etc. Like “He’s going like a hot knife through butter there”. “He slA-A-Ams the door rudely at his FACE!!! ” etc.

PS: and “Go-Go-Go!!!” too
