F1 » Ecclestone: Drivers 'can’t be characters'


@richard ..and don't forget Kenneth Tynan who started the whole thing on TV! I believe we are of similar age and I totally agree with what you say, putting paid to the idea that oldies are hurt by swearing. I think the most hilarious thing though is that while 'grown-up' newspapers usually print exactly what is said, the red-tops use asterisks instead for words like 'fork' or 'slit' or 'clot' - I assume that's what they mean to say. Even funnier is that an internet site called crash.net sees fit to be nanny and insists on doing the same in articles and posts. Regarding James Hunt. He was a well known user of weed. Murray would say that James had just popped out to 'walk round the circuit' when he slipped out for a crafty joint...

F1 » Vote for your 2012 F1 Driver of the Year


The championship result reflects who were the best drivers. The top 3 were certainly the class of the field. Seb outclassed his team mate in an 'equal' team. Fernando gathered points consistently with a patchy car and Kimi proved he hadn't lost any sparkle. Not much to choose between them. Of the rest, most had the odd flash of brilliance but were not consistent enough to get the results.

F1 » European F1 races urged to 'wake up'


A track will measure its success by bums on seats. Even if the race is a total bore, if over 100,000 turn up to watch annually, it is a success for the track owners and promoters and they will have done their job. Conversely if attendance is very low, they have failed. On this basis the races at Bahrain, Korea, Hockenheim and India have failed dismally with falling gates. Less than 28000 attended the Bahrain race this year. Races at Australia, Canada, Silverstone, China, Monaco and Austin were great successes with attendances over 100000. All have earned their place without question. The largest fall in attendance however is that of the TV audience which have fallen by around 10% with the arrival of sKy and whoever organises the TV rights should deal with this as they have failed dismally this year. I wonder who that would be?
