Why didn't German TV do a 2 hour show on Super Seb leaving Fizzy Drink? He's literally twice the man Alonso is, there are numbers that prove that. It should actually be a 4 hour show.

They did. But it's a 2 year special, so it's still showing. He's literally that much better than that furry-faced Mexican he's replacing.

Does the super licence even exist any more? I seem to remember when I started watching F1 in the olden days, it was quite a big thing to get a super licence. Now it seems anyone over 15 can get in the sport as long as you have enough publicity and/or money behind you.

They were old but the bad old drivers of yesteryear were much worse than the young lads coming in.

But if the new kids are good, who is going to be the useless comedy driver to laugh at?

Webber has retired and Kimi is probably in his last year, so who will we laugh at when he's retired? We need a new breed of lovely driver. Not talented kids.

The answer to this question, as so many others, is Pastor.

You must be confused because the only Pastor in F1 is Pastor Maldonado. The man that single-handedly brought Williams back from the mid-field, the man that won a race for Williams when all others had failed and the same man who dragged fire victims out of a burning pitlane garage.

That's not a lovely driver that I just described, that's a man who deserves to be knighted by the king of Mexico.

I was just saying to my wife yesterday, ' I still like Honda I just wish they made more interesting cars at the moment'. I used to have a Type R but I'm too old for another and there isn't really a decent Accord when you compare them to other brand's offerings. If they still made the S2K I'd be throwing cash at them.

We've had a Civic Aerodeck and an Accord Estate. Both brilliant cars. We've got a Nissan Note at the moment (due to children and a dog) but I'd go back to Honda in an instant.
