Shoeys peaked with Patrick Stewart then completely died when Ricciardo was forced by uh I forgot who it was Coulthard or Brundle to do one.

Yup. Brundle turned to poo poo when he suddenly decided that he needed to replace Murray. He's still good the odd occasion when he gets really passionate about some aspect of driving these cars, but in general he's poo poo as a main commentator and they never should've given him that role.

I never got to experience Murray/Hunt so Murray/Brundle is the best combo for me. A close second however is Brundle/Coulthard, they were brilliant together and I both despise Brundle for moving to sky and have huge respect for Coulthard for not going along too. Channel 4 commentary best commentary.

e: now I'm pining for that one perfect season we had, Brundle/Coulthard commentary, Real Jake, an Eddie Jordan they didn't entirely let off the leash to do poetry 24/7, a less-arrogant Ted in the pitlane and Lee McKenzie to charm the drivers into giving good interviews. What I'm saying is gently caress Sky forever.

Murray and Hunt were a straight up comedy act for all the wrong reasons as Hunt regularly attended the commentary either pissed or high with Murray trying to compensate in his own adrenalin fuelled state of excitement.

E: what I am trying to say is that they were brilliant.

Now also known for loving up his back in a karting accident. http://www.is.fi/muutlajit/art-2000005277934.html (Warning: moon language, pictures available)

EDIT: And BTW, the verdict on that boat accident was overturned due to lack of hard evidence putting Lehto on the driver's seat. The coroner's report, doctor's report, crash scene investigation report and eyewittness testimonials on the drunkenness levels of Lehto and co. wasn't enough for manslaughter.

Except for the fact that according to the crash scene reconstruction and way the boat hit the bridge column you either A) drove the boat or B) died on the accident.

Autosport is saying that Mclaren is going to ditch Honda for Renault. That team is a mess but ill never forgive them for Spa '98.

Alonso is an excelent driver but he will never drive for a top team unless those idiots at Woking sort things out.

I can't blame him for not trusting Honda (do you trust them?), and even though it's a bad long-term decision, doing whatever it takes to keep Alonso gives McLaren the greatest chance at immediate success.

What are the chances that Honda is going to make a competent engine for next year? cut

The finances of Mclaren are okay? Can they survive without being Honda works team?

Alonso is going to take a pay cut to make the Renault deal?

Mclaren is hosed.

Ya I just think it's really stupid that they're going for Renault. Verstappen has done less laps this year than Alonso and Renault have said they aren't putting alot the engine development. Meanwhile Honda hired on the guy who fixed the Renault engine in the first place. If this was may and they were first putting pen to paper on the 2018 car it makes sense but to do it so late in the game for such an underwhelming move is pretty dumb.
