Re: Impressions of Channel 4 coverage in 2016.

Channel 4 has Webber, Channel 4 Wins.

Also I cannot for the life of me stand Johnny Herbert, if I ever find myself agreeing with a point he has made I feel dirty.

Re: Hockenheim confirm no German GP in 2017

A part of me wishes that this sport will just hurry up and die so it can start fresh again. My support of F1 has been waning over the last few years and news like this is not doing anything to help.

It seems he plays a similar role to Helmet Marko at Red Bull. The difference there is that Marko is friends with the Red Bull owner and I think he overrides/undermines Christian Horner.
