rare thing that Schumacher isn’t the biggest **** on the circuit, well done Lewis.

So I’m told, this point is being made on that twitter thing:

“My road car works in the rain, my street doesn’t flood, why can’t we go racing?”

These guys are the best drivers in the world. They should be able to make a balance between speed and survival. They shouldn’t need mollycoddling, and Vettel moaning like a kid is frankly shameful for someone of his apparent ability. He also has previous on this in other races where he was hoping for a race he was winning to be red flagged, when Hamilton and co wanted to just get on with it.

She wrote another song that might be relevant here. Can’t remember for the life of me what it’s called, but it has the word “Umbrella” in it I think.

Especially when you consider Schumacher has the huge advantage of being German 😉

It’s easy for us to say “MTFU”, but how many of us would fill our shreddies trying to drive a 600kg, 800bhp RWD car around a soggy track? I would…

Maybe an argument for bringing traction control and ABS back though?

Blimey why is there so much anger and abuse towards Hamilton and other drivers – people make mistakes, choices which don’t fit in with out view of life but throwing abuse at them is just childish!

They’re all racists 😆

New here?

It’s because he’s black.

I am loving the way DC and Brundle are just reduced to talking bollocks. For half an hour.

Not at the moment, they’re not.

It is very generous of Lewis to stay and help the team are he embarrassed himself, sure he can wait to spend that £million + he earns for each race

Question: Is there / has there ever been, any openly gay F1 drivers??

overall speeds are much lower

Average lap speeds might be lower, but they’re still hitting very similar speeds entering the braking zones.

This ‘I’m harder than you’ chat between Brundle & Coultard is wearing a bit thin

Still, rain and people eating biscuits in glorious High Definition, top Sunday nigh entertainment 😐

Because of course the English are soo lovely…

Have you had a Sense of Humourectomy?

Just as an aside, Elfin does have a point…the English seem to have a massive chip on their shoulder about anything German (or French for that matter). Schumacher is the most successful driver in F1 history, yes he’s German, now can we please get over the latter fact?

Rant over.

Have you had a Sense of Humourectomy?

No, have you?  😉 Love the irony…

I just thought, if we were playing ‘negative national stereotypes’, it only fair to involve my own nation too….

they can’t race as the cars turn into boats in rain like this. aqua planing, no steering, no braking. Impossible to drive.

how long before they think about calling it off?

I get sick of the German bashing actually. The whole WW2 things seems to be more significant to us than it does to them these days. It’s been 70 years…

That said, MS is still a ****

Yay!

Cake!!!

It’s almost as exciting as cricket, now. They’re having cups of tea and cake! 🙂

The number of German cars you see on the roads in England is just one example which would suggest otherwise. Just a little banter. I was kind of thinking about the Blackadder line when I made that comment. Nothing to get too excited about.

Is that the ‘Edinburgh Defence’, by any chance? 😉

Bit of ‘banter’ is fine. As long as you can take what you dish out, eh?

I do find it amusing that I did exactly the same as you, yet I’m the one with the apparent ‘sense of humour failure’… 😀

Banter? Next time England play Germany at football, just pick up a copy of The Sun.

Meanwhile, in Race Control…..

Banter?

I was referring to my comment. Didn’t mean to offend anyone.

Is that the ‘Edinburgh Defence’, by any chance?

No.

Didn’t mean to offend anyone.

Ah, the Duke of Edinburgh Defence! 😆

Back on track. There’s a serious chance they may cancel the Antiques Roadshow if this goes on. The rain isn’t all bad.

You have to hand it to the commentators for being able to talk non-stop for hours when no cars are moving.

I enjoy Antiques Roadshow?

Could’ve had an episode of Dad’s Army in the time it’s taken…

Who don’t like it up ’em?

cancelling Antiques Roadshow is less likely than cancelling the Queen’s Speech i’d have thought!

Who don’t like it up ’em?

We’re not allowed to mention the war.

Special red safety car! 😀

I hope Ted’s trousers dry out.

‘Race car’ spells ‘race car’ backwards!

Brundle is on fire today…

surely with ice hockey being the national sport they should be able to lay their hands on some of those machines they use for cleaning the rink for shifting the water.

That George Lucas is a bit short, isn’t he?

why are they talking to George Lucas?

‘cos they’ve run out of things to talk about
