Vettel is actually superb in interviews etc.

[layten]

Do people really think Sky are going to be able to top stuff like this next year?

[Guest]

These awards are amazing. I'm gonna miss the BBC next year

Also, EJ's shirt today is quite normal. I quite like it.

The awards

As soon as they said "drive of the year" it had to be Button - Canada

Vettel is actually superb in interviews etc.

"Why do you change helmet so often"

"To win this award"

Good lad

[Halo]

I'm really going to miss the BBC's coverage. F1 coverage will never be so good.

[dayte]

Handing out awards on race day, excellent!

[Sidewaysbob]

I'm not going to miss eddies sweaty pits however

[JohnC]

I'll never get used to Massa and Jake standing side-by-side. And probably never see it again now.

That race alone reignited my interest in F1.

[Sidewaysbob]

I was at Le Mans sitting at the edge of the awning of a bunch of Germans watching the race on German TV. when Button went past for the win all the English in the field next let out a huge roar. the germans turned the TV off and started to pack up.

It was the highlight of the year for me.

C'mon Martin, sod the queue

[Sidewaysbob]

Sutils moustache is rubbish.

You get the impression that many of the drivers go out of their way to make time for the BBC. There are more than a few stories about them all hanging out before/after races

[Sidewaysbob]

Straight past RTL nice work martin

[dayte]

Goodbye Martin's gridwalks..... traitor

[wev]

Mines better than Sutils (check the Movember thread).

Whatever you want to say about Coulthard, Jordan and Brundle, it seems like they command the respect of the teams and drivers as well as being fair with their analysis and interviewing technique. Jake Humphrey is just an all round nice guy, his NFL work also showed that he's pretty easy going with anyone.

The rest of the BBC team seem to feed off that, they look pretty autonomous and that lets them build up a relationship with the sport.

Lol with Ronaldo again

[myoozikk]

Ronaldo's son ftw!

[Sidewaysbob]

Who ate ronaldo !!!

[the_debaser]

Ronaldos kid - brilliant

[JPR]

Can we go home now?

[Dudley]

Dear god if the BBC are going to turn this into "Children say the funniest things" then bring on Sky.

[Dudley]

Ronaldos kid - brilliant

Really? It was cripplingly embarrassing talking to a barely literally lump who knows zero about F1 in the first place, let alone his son.

Reminds me why I normally tune in at 5 to go.

[Guest]

Stupid kid.
