Are Damo was another casualty of Williams/Head hubris. First they lost Are Nige, then Are Adrian and now look at them, a racing team owned by Doritos. Shameful.

It's very easy to bring the car home safe when you're too slow to be on the same piece of track as another driver except under blue flags

I’d say Heikki Kovalainen was the least memorable McLaren driver but Martin Brundle once did a “which McLaren driver are you” quiz and found out that he, a former Mc!aren driver, wasn’t in it.

That's because Heikki is infinitely better than Brundle

I reckon Mark Blundell was the more forgettable driver for McLaren compared to Brundle

I still remember an article in a car magazine at that time which said that "Blundell had Mansell's whinge, but not his wins"

I like that everyone one of his columns includes something along the lines of "I was an f1 driver" because everyone forgets.

Was it palmer that brundle constantly tried to talk up?

Godson and he was his manager so taking a cut.

Yes, he was his manager so had to keep him fresh in everyone's mind.

Merci, chaton!
It's funny how Brundle devolved from "quick-witted acerbic quipster" (I'm thinking how he and DC managed to keep the looooong red-flag period at Canada 2011 entertaining throughout) to "tedious old fart". The rot must have started when he took the Murdoch shilling and went to Sky at the end of that year.

Random fact: Jeff Goldblum's character in The Fly was named Brundle after him. His son in The Fly II was called... Martin Brundle.

Brundle's son is indistinguishable apart from being less jaded. Sky should just switch them and see if anyone notices

The most forgettable is definitely Jolyon Palmer, a man who regularly tells us he used to race in formula one but who I always forget about until he reminds us.

Jolyon Palmer is a nice man who does well in the commentary box and he and Alex Brundle should get a shot at commentating.
