He grunts & pauses incessantly during his interviews which I feel he does on purpose to give him more air time than someone who would just answer the question...

I'm no Plato fan but I think that's a bit harsh. I think the pauses are him calculating what to say - be that a 'the team are working hard', 'TOCA need to look at boost', 'Matt Neal is an idiot' or whatever. Plato is a very shrewd operator, he rarely says anything without having a good reason to do so - he just takes the time to formulate it in his head before saying anything. If he says something it's always pushing some agenda or other - no banal stuff - it's all for a reason.
