With our special guest star, RUSH! YAYYYYYYYYY

I want Davide Valsecchi to conduct every interview at grand prix weekends. Hell, I want him to conduct my next job interview.

Valsecchi also does F2 commentary with... whatever that guy's name is who does the play-by-play on the Sky F2/GP3 broadcasts, and he's just as great there.

Removing the stupid bbc icons, I'm trying to think of a scale that Vettel is at one end of and Lewis is at the other. It certainly isn't "petulance".

"German-ness" possibly, but then why would they be classing Rosberg as more German than Lewis? Makes no sense.

That infographic is suspiciously missing several key datapoints. One being Our Jackie who has no icons next to his name at all. The other being Our Nelson who punched guys, grabbed dicks, started rumors that another driver was gay, AND tried to make friends with Balestre. The BBC couldn't even imagine a visual icon to represent some of those acts.

English people do not like seeing other English people succeed at things, it means they have less to moan about on Monday morning. The entire country is a crab-bucket, hence why people have a dig at Lewis / Button for living in Switzerland / Monaco. As if anyone would still be living in this poo poo country if we could afford to live somewhere nice. Lmbo.

In retrospect he might wish he hadn't done that one. Remember when Piquet jr ratted Flavio out about the Euro GP scandal, and Flavio responded in the most Italian way possible, along the lines of "I think it's a shame that he says things like this. I would never tell secrets to the media like how Piquet Jr lives with an older man. Oh whoops."

It doesn't look all that bad aesthetically but it doesn't particularly look like it would be that effective as a form of head protection either. Wouldn't have saved Wilson, wouldn't have saved Surtees, wouldn't have saved Bianchi or Wheldon either (though I'm not sure there's much that could be done short of complete redesign of the open wheel concept in the case of the last two).

You know I've never actually looked up the price of a brand new one. I've got about $3500 set aside to pick up a different chassis next year if this one keeps nose-diving, and that should get me something pretty adequate.
