FIA unhappy with Brundle going to the BBC.

[sideways.taff]

No, Brundle is an idiot, he bangs on about how he's a racing driver.. he isn't, he was a mediocre on once... I'm tired of hearing of stories "when I was racing" or "back in the day" and he's an arrogant idiot. I've err... "met" him at a kart event before, his son was practicing, I went to say hello and he blanked me totally. I wasn't impressed, chump. I really cannot stand him or James Allen, thank god Allen doesn't seem to be making the jump to the BBC too otherwise I think I'd smash the telly.

His gridwalks are hilarious when people respond to him with sarcasm or just plain ignore him and tell him to go away. The only people he gets prolonged interviews out of are the likes of Hamilton Bumlicker #1 Sir.Jackie Stewart or Sterling Moss. His interviews with Bernie are awesome though, I don't think Bernie has liked Martin ever, fantastic.

i remember when he was intervieing the drivers on the grid after the memorial run for when scumacher left, and he asked raikkonen for his opinion of what had just happened, and he turned round and said " i dont know ive just been for a sh1t", priceless, especially on live tv as it was at the time, but i still like brundle, james allan is a complete knobber though

sounds fair enough to me for a Dad wishing to spend time focusing on his son...

I like Brundle, and I'm glad he'll be continuing on. I think his insights into the teams / cars / set-ups and background knowledge is good and wothwhile.

Allen is a f**king c0ck though I agree.

Anyway, F.I.A. = Ferrari International Assistance.



And:

Following unfortunate misunderstandings in the Grands Prix at Valencia and Spa, the FIA has revised the Red Car Rule for Formula 1. These amendments will be applied with immediate effect:

1) Overtaking a Ferrari is not permitted under any circumstances.
2) In the pit lane, a Ferrari always has precedence over other cars.
3) Any driver finishing less than 25 seconds ahead of a Ferrari will be penalized 25 seconds.*
4) If neither Ferrari finishes in first place, the stewards reserve the right to declare the result null and void (or to adjust it as necessary).
5) Only Ferrari drivers are permitted to use anything other than ‘designated’ parts of a circuit.
6) If forced off the ‘designated’ part of the track by a Ferrari, the guilty driver should immediately crash his car and return to the pits
6) Any driver or team appealing against any FIA decision in favour of Ferrari may be subject to a fine and/or the deduction of points.
*Subject to post-race adjustment by the stewards.

Old gags now, but still funneh

Sorry Bryn,
Have to take issue with you on that statement.
Mediocre drivers don't become sportscar world champion!
Also, he was the only team mate to Michael schumacher that ever gave him a run for his money.
