great thread!

My favourite was about some inept driver in Malaysia one year (maybe Karthekeyan?)

"He's on a 3 stopper Murray, Kuala Lumpor, Dubai, London"

brilliant...

To Mrs Ecclestone at the US 'tyre' GP
'go give him [Bernie] a good slap' priceless!

and the 'pikey's'

The 3-stop strategy was Alex Yoong's journey home after failing to qualify at Imola.

'Straight to the scene of the accident' was funny at first as well. His use of English is generally impressive, and he's honest but generally fair. He could probably lead the commentary now, perhaps backed by Davidson.

Nicholas · 12 Sep 2009, 16:28 (Ref:2539104)

I think he's been leading the commentary all year...

**Adam43** · 12 Sep 2009, 18:36 (Ref:2539163)

I liked "I'm bored with BMW enignes, he's on a fat one" or similar.

"If Webber did not have bad luck, he would have no luck at all"

AND

"I bet if you offered Jenson two points now, he'd bite your hand off."

He is on fire this morning!

Knowlesy · 4 Oct 2009, 05:27 (Ref:2553591)

His post Heidfeld interview comment was top.

jab · 4 Oct 2009, 06:57 (Ref:2553631)

He made a few duff calls, though - misidentifying one of the Brawns, amongst others. But nowhere near as bad as Legard today

ECW Dan Selby · 4 Oct 2009, 13:01 (Ref:2553818)

Yeh did anyone notice them both being completely undecided on whether a Force India was Liuzzi/Sutil?

Yeh his comment after Heidfeld's "wranking" was excellent!!

Agreed

I didn't really catch on at first because it was on at some stupid time in the morning and I was still half asleep. Noticed it the second time I saw it though when my parents were watching the re-run. Don't you just love his comments

I hope you mean complement, otherwise they are pretty lame...

Not bad for a Norfolk boy!

Here's a cool Brundle quote, from yesterday's qualifying session:

Quote:

"I used to love sitting in the car like that [in the pit garage]. It’s so snug: the seat’s made to fit you absolutely perfectly; your gloves, your boots, your overalls; you’ve got your helmet on; you’re peeping over the top of the monocoque – it’s like laying in the bath and looking over the taps, but you do feel cozy; you feel safe.”

I've often wondered about that. It seems you always see the drivers sitting so calmly, watching the monitors while all <hot place> was breaking out around them. You'd think the tension would have them chewing nails.

Another good one:

Quote:

“I remember driving out of the pits here in a Jordan and the water was so deep in the pitlane, it came over the top of my front wing and cleared my head sitting in the car.”

Now that evokes a comical mental image! A good cartoonist would have a lot of fun with that one.

You folks in the UK are really lucky to have Martin. I wish that SpeedTV would buy a reel of his pithy quotes from each event!

**Born Racer** · 18 Oct 2009, 12:19 (Ref:2563623)

I liked his comment about (I think it was Rosberg) tiptoeing along in the wet, albeit at 150mph. Put it in perspective.

**Adam43** · 18 Oct 2009, 17:54 (Ref:2563804)

"Happy Days" when Kovi pitted.

Ingsy · 20 Oct 2009, 12:23 (Ref:2565394)

"Kovi hasn't really done much this race, apart from setting fire to random Ferrari's..."

Chiefy · 20 Oct 2009, 18:36 (Ref:2565623)

Note a quote as such, but any gridwalk confrontation with his German counterpart is generally hilarious.

bravo · 20 Oct 2009, 18:56 (Ref:2565631)

Him and the Sky.de lady are not getting on very well at all. can see him getting a slap this next race.

I liked the 'Wall of death' comment - shame I don't have it recorded as I watched the BBC1 and recorded the red button with Crofty and Davidson.

He wishes.

Cougar · 20 Oct 2009, 23:13 (Ref:2565826)

Anyone know what she was saying to him? HAH!

ensign14 · 21 Oct 2009, 06:32 (Ref:2565969)

"You cannot interview zis man. I heff put my towel down."

ECW Dan Selby · 21 Oct 2009, 08:06 (Ref:2566016)

hahaha Oh god it is always funny, isn't it. Ever since their little argument they've seemed to have both kept colliding since!
