If only everyone was so courteous in such debates!

He also had a rift with Ross Brawn over the same issue and they are now good friends.

It was because Brundle criticised Schumi on racing his brother, significantly at Nurburgring in 2003 when Schumi squeezed Ralf into the wall.

I watched Free Practice with this in mind as I've never noticed it before. But you are correct. Every single shot has a massive advertising hoarding taking up half the screen. But which came first? The camara position or the advertising board?

The moment the BBC coverage has been building up to for two and a half years :D

EJ losing his glasses at the bottom of Red Bull's pool. Priceless.

He then bent over the pool once he was out to look at the bottom. How stupid can you get. :crazy:

DC in now, what about Brundle

I could have done without the terribly smug, self-satisfied opening to the programme today. But the commentary was first-rate, save for Brundle apparently labouring under the misapprehension that it was Senna trying to pass Mansell in 1992, not vice versa.
