He seems like a good guy.

Just watching the intro to the program, where they reviewed the season so far. This included Rueben's 2nd win of the year, when he banged the top of the TV camera three times - things like that just shows how much passion he has for the racing.

I still hope that Jenson gets his act together, puts in a champions drive and actually wins the championship - as opposed to limping over the line.

But I certainly won't begrudge the Brazillion the championship, especially if he wins the next two races and actually shows us some fight...

Not a huge fan of Button after the mess a few years back when he couldn't make up his mind which team he wanted to go to. As soon as one team looked good, he wanted out of his contract to move to them. Then it didn't look quite so good and so wanted to stay.
Lack of integrity.

That said, if he does do it, well done him, but mainly well done Ross Brawn!
Amazing achievement for a new team.

If conditions get to the point driver skill is not a factor, what's the point.

They crash more, and more spectacularly, which makes good television. Sad, but true.

Button had a bad day at the office, but probably deserved.

He's not paid millions to risk killing other drivers in a pile up. If conditions get to the point driver skill is not a factor, what's the point.

He is 2nd on the grid 2mrw, I think?

I don't think this is going any further. Webber was just complaining about the conditions, and he's the drivers rep.

Getting back onto technical things, a few weeks back we were talking about what happens with Sky+ recordings and whether they are smart enough to work out when programmes are extended.

I had this set to record on Sky+ as I wasn't sure what time I would be back. The box did indeed keep recording right up to 19:30, so clever stuff.

However, it wasn't smart enought to switch over to BBC2.

Also, my recording of Have I Got A Bit More News For You on BBC2 has correctly shifted from 21:30 to 21:45.

I imagine modern PVR's can to do this too.

As pointed out earlier, some of the qualifying has been more exciting than the races - usually when several cars are completely obliterated
