Perhaps, but that's a bad example I guess. F1 is for when the weather outside is rubbish - which to be fair is most of the time this year.

This.

The weekend is for watching, playing and enjoying sport and hobbies. Which for me include following F1.

How can you prefer going shopping. :p : :eek: :crazy:

Mark are you sure its not the other half that thinks Sunday afternoons are better spent in the shops ;)

You got it.

I suppose Its enjoy it now while I can. :D

It was me that suggested we go to the shops! I think partly that I wasn't feeling too good and the race was sending me to sleep!

I'm very lucky that my missus is an F1 fan! We had a friend round and watched the race with a Sunday roast while the boy (mostly) slept - best of all words!

I really miss Brundle, shame that Sky couldn't have had EJ instead, but feel it's perhaps a tad unfair comparing him with DC, afterall Brundle has been doing this job for nearly 15 years more than Coulthard. I know what you mean about the wit but think that the polish will come to DC, like it did with MB (Martin wasn't always such a great choice). I must admit that I'm amazed that I'm defending DC, I never thought he'd be particularly good on the TV but he's a huge asset to the BBC.

Probably just as well they didn't... can you imagine Simon Lazenby trying to keep control of EJ, he'd have a breakdown :) That's where Jake Humphrey's kids' TV experience comes in handy I guess!

Where ever he started he is now one of the best broadcasters around. He is so natural and relaxed in front of the camera.

The BBC have a gem in him, whether it be F1, Football or other presenting Sport or non sport.

While they have him BBC will still top the F1 coverage.

fairweather fans :rolleyes: :p

sure it does... unless you find a simple way to play back the live timing too :)
