Did anyone else notice Brundle referring to Coulthard by his Sniffpetrol derived alias? Certainly earned a chuckle from me hehe

Also, what was Flav flapping about for in the background?

Yeah, I heard it too.

Who knows what Flav was doing, looked like he was doing the childish "Hello mum look at me I'm on TV"

Err, Crazy Dave.

I doubt if the BBC will allow a grid walk from the pair again. As amusing as it was, that "pillow talk" with Button was just a bit too adolescent.

Let's see if we can work it out.

Exhibit a) - the topic title, "Crazy Dave"

Case closed.

Edited to add - too slow.

IMHO it was no worse than Brundle has had solo from Hakkinen, Berger! Coulthard!! Raikkonen!!!

I think that they will do it again, just not regularly.

Thought it might have been that but it seemed too obvious TBH. I suppose it had to be easy for you to get it..... smile

Thought it was quite funny really - seeing the professionalism and polish that is the F1 machine, then showing that at heart, they are just a group of guys having a laugh as mates.

You think that was bad, at the 2006 British GP after party we had DC and Tony Jardine talking on stage about the amount of Condoms DC sent to Jardines hotel room when Jardine was at DCs place for the Monaco GP. Jardine added It would have been okay if they weren't used. It made me laugh so much I fell over and dislocated my finger.

Having said that, Tony Jardine is a very funny bloke! He was speaking at a function I went to a few years ago. His demeanour was completely different to what I expected having watched him on the F1 coverage

Anyone know why DC was doing the pit walk?

Could he be lining up to replace Brundle?

I have noticed Brundle seems less into his job this year. I guess it is probably the 'Legard effect', but he doesn't speak as often, or as enthusiastically as he used to.

He's probably fed up of sitting with Legard for an hour, fed up of being talked over etc. But when he does speak, it's usually something interesting, and the grid walk is as good as ever (especially with DC!).

Don't forget Brundle is usually away for a grand prix in the summer (he has his hols booked) usually around the time of the Hungarian GP. Perhaps DC will be doing the grid walk himself for that one?

DC's got an IMO at RedBull the polesitter, so why not?
JB was game on as well, so they new it would be straight forward, no " I'll pick a random person on the grid" scenario when MB's got no-where to go.
Plus of course, the grids always epty at the Turkey GP
As Brundle gets further away from his F1 seat, I would imagine the "I used to be a driver" lead in, has less influence.

He's been a lot more technical in his input this year, and looks like he really enjoys his job.
Who wouldn't ?

I see that vacuous bint Naiomi Campbell got herself on the TV gridwalk. I'd have been more impressed had Coulthard or Brundle told her to fk off! I notice she watched the race from the Ferrari garage, do you think Flav's wife has vetoed her being anywhere near the Renault area?! hehe

I for one wouldn't like to see Brundle go any time soon. For me he really makes the F1 coverage, since he has enough 'qualifications' to know what he's talking about and his approach works too.
I also couldn't imagine anyone else having the same front on the Grid-Walk to get in there and talk to people.

He also seems to have the respect of most within F1.
