F1 predictions 2009: Melbourne

One thing I would say is, the british media will now start riding Buttons jockstrap for all its worth again, Personally if I was Jeson I would tell them to go walk off a cliff after the way they have ignored him for the last 3 seasons.

Er, if you are in one of the slowest cars in the field during a nail biting championship battle, that is to be expected.  Get over it

It's always been that way.. for as long as I can remember. James Hunt in the 70s, Mansell in the 80s and early 90s, Hill in the mid 90s.

I noticed it watching the BBC's online highlights of the Oz GPs from 1986 and 1994. The 94 was the most biased, the whole intro centred around the Rothmans Williams and Damon's "Rowing Club" helmet. Interspersed with footage of Hill Sr. wearing the very same colours.

The home media will always get behind the best hope of glory (and publicity) that they can cover.. viewing figures are the king and nobody tunes in to see back markers.

I guess you're right, the US has nothing to do with F-1 anymore

Until next year, we hope. Good people behind the proposal, and hopefully they'll be allowed to choose suitable drivers, unlike the previous foray of a US driver into F1, which was entirely based on his sponsor wanting to put a US driver on the grid, as opposed to the other talent available.

It is no different in other countries. Here in Germany, once Schumacher had made his mark as the world champion until he retired.......Heinz Harald Who?? Nick Heid...something or another and the brother, though he got more than the other two for obvious reasons.

Did Schmacher have a brother who was a racing driver? News to me. I know there was Ralf, but...
