Re: F1 2008

Bet Brundle missed that one with Kimi? Mind you no one want to talk to him on the grid these days so its no wonder.

Whats the Japanese coverage like in comparison to our ITV version?

Re: F1 2008

Sounds to me like watching 'Shrek' in german! Trust me it was funny for the first few minutes then completly baffling, given enough alcohol and enthuisiasm these things are possible.

shame i cant go next year
I was sitting in the pit straight this year as a change. Quite good watching the goings on in the pit lane, but i'll go back to Luffield next year....just don't see enough for me.

I took my camera as well this year. I thought i'd lined up a great shot of Lewis coming accross the finish line with the cheqered flag....until the extra tall fella in front of me stood up and waved his arms around !!

Re: F1 2008

Andbur, I love the shot with the car crossing the line and the hands clapping.

Its not just another shot of an F1 car winning a race, it captures the whole atmosphere.
