Re: Sky Coverage v BBC Coverage
Thought Brundle was on fire this weekend, loved his banter with Jenson on his gridwalk.
I like that Sky are getting random ex-drivers to join the team for a race like JV and Heidfeld. Keeps it fresh. Haven't seen any of the BBC coverage so I can't compare the 2.

Re: Mclaren admits to Button Crisis of confidence
Whilst Button is obviously a mentally strong driver who can accept finishing behind his teammate without question, he is still mentally weak in a way. If that makes any sense. He needs to have it in his mind that he can do the extraordinary to do it imo. Japan last year is my perfect example. There ...

Re: Moto GP Australia questions
Visited Melbourne for the F1 earlier this year, went to Phillip Island for a day trip - it's a fair old drive, wouldn't want to do it every day.
The Island itself is quite big and there is plenty of holiday homes there. Get in early and you'll be able to rent one.

It won't be a sell out - there could be places around central Barcelona, there's a shop on Las Ramblas where you can buy Barca tickets - they may sell GP tickets. You will be able to get them from the circuit for sure. That's what I did for the testing.
