Excellent news, remember.. anything can happen in Formula 1... and it usually does!  ;D
I'll be listening that's for sure, it will be just like the old days... Now if only James Hunt was still alive.  8-)
On a side note, anybody remember the old Eurosport coverage of F1 with John Watson and Allard Kalff? They were a good team too, very knowledgable.

Back in the good ol' days of free-to-air C-band on the CBC it was the team of Murray Walker/Jonathan Palmer over here. Alas, CBC has since gone to a digital format and we are now forced to listen to the likes of Derek Daly on local networks or Bob Varsha & company on Fox/Speed, although Peter Windsor, David Hobbs, and Steve Matchett I can tolerate.
I would most definately enjoy Murray scolding the drivers(he's a naughty boy  ;D ) but will likely not get the chance.

Lewis and the Kiss of Murray :-/ :-/

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

This is great, its so nice to be able to hit mute and have some decent commentary. And the other guys just seem to be letting him get on with it, instead of trying to cut him off. ;D :)

Oooh dear, not good for Lewis. I wonder if he won't be racing tomorrow - I'm just wondering if he was knocked out* - hence the leg shaking? The gravel trap was pretty useless too - sent him airborne at least twice - including into the wall itself... ::)

Not his fault though...

*thankfully Ron Dennis has just confrimed he wasn't :)
