Ohh oh here we go... Hamilton wins the Monaco Grand Prix and BBC show this. It's just more jingoistic stuff from the British Press, why can't they be like most people on Pistonhead's and realise everyone despises Lewis "Hammy" Hamilton and want to see programmes about foreigners winning stuff...

Plus the Indy 500 from 5:30pm till 9pm on Sky Sports 3.

Except that the Indy 500 is Sunday and the rest are on Monday...

[FourWheelDrift]

Doh, thought that the others were today.

Damn Bank Holidays messing with my days.

Still good reason to see it, as Graham took part in a few 500's and won the race in 1966.

[Nicol@]

Set to record, thanks.

James Allen spent ages (so it seemed) wittering about Senna's six victories at Monaco and didn't once mention Graham Hill's five wins

Bumpety Bump.

Very interesting and moving documentary. It's reminded me of just how dangerous the sport was back then, and just how brave the drivers were.

[Marc W]

Damn, forgot

[Altrezia]

That was brilliant.

What a man.
