The Rules
Commentary clichés:
Drink one shot every time the relevant commentator or analyst says one of their catchphrases. If a player can finish the catchphrase along with them, everyone else must drink another shot.
Jonathan Legard says:
"On a charge"
"Pushing on"
"There's a problem there"
"[Team name] from [Team name]" (eg. "Ferrari from McLaren from Red Bull from McLaren")
"Twenty-ten" (as opposed to "Two-thousand-and-ten")
"He knows the time to beat"
"Is it going to be good enough?!"
"He is dancing on his tail"
Martin Brundle says:
"They'll have to deploy a safety car"
"He got mugged into [Corner name]"
"An armful of opposite lock"
"This is a critical phase of the race"
"The car's understeering like a cross-channel ferry"
"Nail the throttle"
"Punch and counter-punch"
"Retardation"
"Guesstimation"
"Hug the apex like it's your favourite granny"
"In the zone"
Ted Kravitz says:
"I'm in the McLaren garage"
"And I'll tell you what"
"I don't believe it!"
"They say there is nothing wrong with his car"
"He doesn't need to stop again"
Referring to drivers by their first names
Eddie Jordan says:
"Contrite"
"In my view"
"Alluded to"
Something ungrammatical
Some sort of torturous metaphor
Something that makes no sense whatsoever
David Coulthard says:
"Clearly"
"Red Bull"
"I agree with Martin"
Lee McKenzie says:
"You must be bitterly disappointed"
General incidents:
Drink two shots whenever these occur
Pre-race:
The daft 'Countdown to the race' clock appears on screen
Humphrey, Coulthard and Jordan's conversation is drowned out by the sound of an engine
Coulthard and Jordan disagree about something
Humphrey, Coulthard and Jordan go for a walk down the pit-lane
Interview with Christian Horner
One of them nearly gets run over
Shot of driver licking his earplugs before inserting them
FOM theme tune plays (Must drink until it finishes)
National Anthem plays (Must down your drink)
Lee McKenzie interviews a driver walking through the paddock
Gridwalk:
Brundle and Coulthard do the gridwalk together for no discernible reason
Brundle shows us the safety car
Interview with the polesitter
Interview with Bernie Ecclestone
Ecclestone forces Brundle to interview local dignitary, Hollywood celebrity or supermodel
Interview with someone who plainly doesn't know what the hell is going on
Brundle barges into another reporter's interview, annoying them
Brundle sticks his microphone into another interview
Interview is in foreign language
Someone refuses to be interviewed
Brundle panics and interviews the first person he recognises
Brundle is forced to wait in line for an interview and gets annoyed
The cameraman bumps into something/someone
Driver sucks from drinks bottle as he is being interviewed
Race:
There is a crash at the first corner
Someone loses a front wing
Team radio interrupts commentator mid-sentence

Safety car is deployed
Safety car comes in
Engineer says something obvious over the team radio
Brundle explains that the radio transmissions are delayed
Someone aquaplanes off the track
Shot of driver's father/girlfriend/wife
A pitstop goes wrong
Commentators get the mid-race thoughts of Mike Gascoigne
Director misses an important bit of action eg. overtake, crash
Pointless slo-mo replay
There is some sort of cock-up with the onscreen graphics
A Virgin, Lotus or Hispania car is lapped
When the national anthems are being played, you must remove your headgear and stand
A driver says "for sure" in the press conference
A driver bemoans tyre degradation in the press conference
The jug of drink in the press conference looks suspiciously like urine
Post-race forum:
Interview with Martin Whitmarsh
Interview with race winner
Coulthard does a Tim-from-The-Office look to camera
A microphone fails and Humphrey has to shove his under the guest's nose
Humphrey isn't listening properly because he's looking through viewers' e-mails on his Blackberry
Brundle shows up halfway through eating an ice cream
Conversation is drowned out by winning team celebrating in background
Anytime:
Lee McKenzie appears on screen
Ted Kravitz appears on screen
Murray Walker appears on screen
Someone swears

king drinks tube in his mouth. 
It would be easier to just have a vodka drip on the go from the moment you hear "the chain" to the moment you die. There is no point in having shots for stuff that is definitly going to happen, it needs to be for the random stuff that you have to watch out for, like the commentary.
Thin out that list, then it's game on!

An F1 drinking game thats novel... but other people have said it, with those rules you are not going to make it past Q1 without a trip to A&E...
Brundle's got his paedo-smile down...
Ted Kravitz says:
"I'm in the McLaren garage"
"And I'll tell you what"
"I don't believe it!"
"They say there is nothing wrong with his car"
"He doesn't need to stop again"
Referring to drivers by their first namesThose all sound like they came out in the same breath.
Lee McKenzie says:
"You must be bitterly disappointed"Does she have any input to what she is asking the drivers? I ask, because if its all her, then surely the only reponse to her microphone be stuffed in your face is shutup and come back with a real question...
