Discussion

Hey, great to learn that Schumacher started in F1 around the same time as James Allen, eh? And there I was thinking he was just a commentator who merely covered F1.
Was wondering what his background was? The commentry on quali really got me annoyed. What has he ever done that I would know about other than make stupid comments?

His total inability to correctly pronounce Kubica's name is getting on my nerves too.
It goes from "Kew-Bick-A" and then to the correct "Koo-bits-a" only after Brundle says it...the cock then reverts back to normal and the cycle starts again.
Sheer bloody ignorance IMHO.

IINM, his "F1 career" began with a single year as the PR guy for a Brabham team that was in the process of vanishing.

Didn't he also write for one of the specialist press?
He doesn't generally bother me too much, but his sycophantic commentary yesterday did irritate me intensely. He seems to be compelled to fill every inch of airtime.

BBC Radio 5 covers most of the GPs.
The only problem is that TV transmissions are usually a couple of seconds behind radio...Hard disc recorders are a wonderful thing. Just pause the live TV feed until you're in synch with 5Live
What, your HDD recorder is able to shuttle forwards a few seconds from live TV? That's amazing! Does it have some kind of time-travel / wormhole technology then?
