Not sure whether it was a snub or not but Martin Brundle while'st on the pit lane saw DC and tried to say hi but DC just walked straight past him....Is DC bitter or am I reading to much into it!

I doubt it. Brundle is DC's manager.  He got him his TV gig in the first place.

Brundle was out of contract, DC wasn't, hence he's still at BBC.

Enjoyed that race. I like LH's approach to getting max points out of the races this year. I'm sure the wins will come for him.

Its amazing how close the cars are in general this year. No one seemed to really pull away this race. Like that a lot so this year should be a cracker.

Well done Rosberg, nice to have another Gprix winner!

Great race as wll JB.

Ah! A few facts I didn't know there so thanks The Mighty Elvi :wink:

Personally I didn't read to much into it but wanted to know what others thort of it...when Brundle was at the BBC DC, Humphrey's , EJ all got on really well and made the F1 programme much more enjoyable to watch...so genuinely didn't think to much of it...

Was the only one who had to really try hard to understand that Irish commentator who took over Ted K' job? I think someone mentioned it before but I have only just realised how thick his accent is! :grin:

He really is the wink link at the moment for the BBC team. Yes he is very knowledgeably, but he really is miles and miles behind Ted in terms of how he comes across on TV.
I really miss Ted from the BBC coverage, shame they could not keep him.

That was the first race I have watched from start to finish for a long time, really enjoyed it plus was nice to see Nico get his 1st win, going to be an interesting season.
