Yes I think a lot of the rest of them are primadonas too, but there's just a few things about him that wind me up - mainly that picture of him in the red and white chequered jumper, and the wee beard thing he had going for a while.<br /><br />Petty?

Thats hardly unusual, as you say in the article, with a few exceptions all world champions are primadonnas. However that doesn't mean that Brundle has to pretend to like them. That's what I like about his commentary, I don't think he's bitter, just honest.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557487937412125287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-8570083511657381422010-06-02T23:36:17.746-04:002010-06-02T23:36:17.746-04:00Re 'what was webber saying, i would guess some...Re 'what was webber saying, i would guess something like:<br /><br />"Put the bloody fire extinguisher behind my bloody wheel so I can get out of the car before it catches fire!!!"<br /><br />Seriously, the car was rolling every time he takes his foot off the brakes, and the marshalls look like they are thinking - "what's the problem, there's no fire!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-53324771976155122882010-06-02T22:45:56.985-04:002010-06-02T22:45:56.985-04:00Button may not be a primadonna but he does not hav...Button may not be a primadonna but he does not have the balls either.<br />I was surprised at how tamely he decided to lay back and follow after hammy almost pushed him off the track. <br />Hamilton was desperate for a win and he won, button showed no such urgency, which is why they'll never count him with the best...pradsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542079188694879226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-19322620434444680972010-06-02T21:52:31.702-04:002010-06-02T21:52:31.702-04:00Geez, Webber's kind of a dick, eh?

The guy is not Ayrton Senna, but then he is above many F1 champions, and remember he won his 2 championships when Schumacher was still in activity.

Here in the US the press has forgotten about the two wars we are still in.. but the English press knows how to hold a grudge for 500 years or more.<br /><br />I dont see anything that Alonso has done this year that would lead anyone to complain about his performance outside the car. I would say he has dealt with adversity very well this year.<br /><br /><br />I just wish I could find a good reliable stream of all this BBC commentary. SpeedTV has almost no post race coverage. I watch 1st and 3rd practice on bbc via the net... but I cant find anyone streeming the post race stuff.carldechttp://www.statesman.com/news/local/formula-one-promoter-promises-austin-track-will-be-715886.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-41404559183580071092010-06-02T16:11:49.408-04:002010-06-02T16:11:49.408-04:00I'm not taking a position either way, I'm ...I'm not taking a position either way, I'm just telling you why some people dislike him.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790488605489173670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-25513803486576541682010-06-02T15:39:36.121-04:002010-06-02T15:39:36.121-04:00You mean he should have kept mum and risk his care...You mean he should have kept mum and risk his career to cover for mclaren's cheating?
