"tune the engines to sound like Kylie Minogue reaching a spectacular climax"

Lovely turn of phrase there....

I bought the Daily Mash book for a couple of friends for Christmas and now I'm jealous because they have the book and I don't

Five live this evening as I drove home had Bernie on talking about his new idea to make the racing more interesting... a computer program to ramdomly turn on "rain" at unknown intervals during the race!

F1 has been crap since they banned turbo's and slicks, all my IMO

Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't tyres that have no grooves/tread known as slicks? If so, F1 cars of TODAY run on this type of tyre

And as for Turbos, check out 2013 regs proposal.

I am afraid that F1 will NEVER get back to being as good as it was as everthing, like reality TV, is being manipulated into a show, a pretence.

i don't think anyone wants to watch people dying any more... just over taking, which seems a problem.
