It's something else for them to get angry at. All that money lining the pockets of the rich F1 bosses. OUTRAGE!!!11oneoneone

Your BBC TAX is being spent on those foreigners coming over here taking our jobs/seats, our money funds the rich lifestyle of a GERMAN to drive for a great British team like Virgin for example, they also come and live in this country, think what that does to the house prices and our children. These drivers also more likely to vote Labour if they can as well. ;)

Not sure whats in it for them but i'm not surprised, they've had an anti BBC agenda for years.

The people who own The Daily Mail also have a significant investment in ITN news, which is a direct rival of the BBC. I think they got quite pissed off when the BBC moved their flagship 9 o'clock news to 10pm, which is where ITNs big news program lives on the other channel. They probably consider the BBC serious rivals on the internet too.

he's never coming back.

Sad but I fear true. A year on from my hand surgery and the build up of scar tissue is still a problem - and that's with full mobility. God knows what he's going to have to contend with when everything's healed. Thats just the start of his rehabilitation.

The biggest thing may be what happens to him if he ever has another big crash, will he be as resilient as he would have been before?

He's about 60 percent titanium at this point so I reckon he'd have to come back as this:

To stand a chance.

Saw Senna tonight. Very good.

I didn't know much about the politics back then when I was watching. Hell, I didn't even know Balestre until recent years. So it was interesting to see them dicking him about with weird decisions. Not a lot changed there then. A lot of stuff seemed to happen at Japanese GPs in particular. But I suppose a big part of that was with it being near the end of the season.

That first Monaco GP where he finished second was amazing. As was his first Brazilian win, pushing himself through the pain on the podium.

Anyone know anything about that guy he talked about from his karting days when asked about the person he liked driving against, or similar? Imagine being the unknown (?) guy Senna said he admired :D

The guy is still walking on sticks, give it up, he's done for in F1.

Go back and ask Sir Sterling what he was like after he had his big off, never the same again. :coffee:

I have a hazy memory of Moss actually saying at one point that he'd regretted making that decision so soon after his accident, and that in hindsight he'd probably have been fine carrying on - which is a shame really as he would likely still have been competitive well into the era of Clark and Hill. in his later career in historics he was certainly still a serious competitor.

So, I'm personally more on the Bruce side of things (for once) - I don't think you can count him out totally yet. what it'll come down to is more how he does in the simulator dealing with all the DRS/KERS buttons and so on.

And if he doesn't? Lotus really want tp push towards sportscars so perhaps we'll see him at Le Mans.

Comparing Sterling Moss to Robert Kubica really doesn't work though, the physicality of the sport is so much more different now to what it was then.
