Gawpers

[hand of clod]

F1 paddock types are usually fairly cool but the number of 'look I am on telly' chancers on todays Silverstone coverage was gross.

[ChiChoAndy]

They should be shot.

You've started the official Gawper thread!

Perhaps we should start a new thread of these tts, with screen grabs and caption these cocks, start a facebook page, and contact mumsnet, out these fkers, and change "attitude". I realise this is not phone hacking, but this behaviour needs to be changed. NOW with brollies!

I wouldn't mind printing off a turbo belm mask & standing behind them wearing that.

This happens at every race*, there are just more people there because they are in Britain. Most people go and crowd the cameras of whichever TV channel they will be seen on.

*This doesn't include Abu Dhabi, Korea and other races where nobody turns up

I was ashamed to be british today having to put up with that lot wandering around behind them. The bbc f1 crew need to stop pandering to them as well and stop mentioning them and just clear them all out the way. I was hoping for eddie to turn around and have a go at them :P

It's become a bit of an issue , oh look it's the bbc , I'll wander around with the phone for a bit..get the ugly mug on TV

We need a PH hit squad here , I'm thinking perhaps in the Phantom Flan Flinger style , now that would make good television

[55allgold]

I like it. It's only TV interviews - not exactly Cornelius Horan antics.

[davepoth]

Playing devil's advocate, perhaps if they stayed in an area that wasn't publicly accessible they wouldn't get so many fat blokes in lurid polo shirts waving like morons behind them?

I know. "And the fans have all turned up in force!". Yes because they're probably all on a corporate jolly free of charge.

[Eric Mc]

I'm all for it. I'd oprefer the masses to have access to the paddock rather than just the "celebs". At least they know who they are looking at.
