F1 viewers in the UK, struggling to cope with the 5am start for the Japanese Grand Prix, spluttered into their tea, when an innocent comment by Nick Heidfeld was seized upon by a naughty Martin Brundle, complete with accompanying hand… gestures.
Under fire BBC executives were just relieved that there were no children or pensioners up at that time of the morning.
Somebody else who has trouble with his ‘R’s
Analysts have worked out, that at his current strike rate, Jenson Button should wrap up the drivers title at the Spanish Grand Prix next May. Despite finishing in a lowly eighth in Japan, Button is still ‘not worried’ about his dwindling… championship lead. Yeah right.
Eddie Jordan is recovering after accidentally falling into his hotel room wardrobe late last night, which explains why he turned up in the Suzuka paddock this morning looking like this…
While Adrian Sutil did end up topping the time sheets for Fifi in practice two for the Japanese Grand Prix, it was actually his mechanics who set the fastest time in the sodden first half hour when they set a… paper boat off down the pitlane. The boat, a scale model of team owner, Vijay Mallya’s Indian Empress yacht, was going a treat past the Williams pit until a marshall stepped on it. Spoilsport.
According to Auto und Sport magazine, BMW Sauber’s Japanese Grand Prix weekend has not got off to a good start, after a delivery truck on its way to the paddock managed to clip a low bridge, dumping eight engines on the ground.
BMW… boss, Mario Theissen, said “It was the worst damage to F1 equipment that we’ve ever seen.” Obviously he’s never had Nelson Piquet jnr on the payroll.
In a cruel coincidence, another truck delivering Robert Kubica to the paddock, also managed to drop him, with the Pole landing flat on his face from a height of ten feet. Initial observations were that the results were something of an improvement.
