Can't say I've noticed. Then again, he's capable of delivering a 20 minute monologue to camera which requires a fair bit of skill.

The reason people might avoid him is that he often asks difficult questions which they don't want to answer. Also, they are often busy packing up for the next race.

The Sky interviewing is done by Herbert, Brundle and Hill, along with the main presenter, Mr "Absolutely".

I find him inoffensive enough though.

And also, as it looks like something might be done about giving the smaller teams more of a share of the money, you'd think the administrators would want to hang on to see what happens with that as that'd obviously make a huge difference to the viability of Marussia and Caterham.

It's a shame they couldn't find a buyer and what it's happening with their prize money is a travesty.

Why can't that go to the 200 people who have lost their jobs?

So, after today's race in Brazil, if both Hamilton and Rosberg score good points (i.e. 1st and 2nd either way around) all Hamilton has to to in the desert is to take Rosberg out in the race and the title is his ....SIMPLES !!

No world champion would ever stoop so low as to take the title in that manner though

Will Rosberg take Hamilton out versus letting him pass?

I did like the Ferrari battle. Shame Kimi couldn't hold up his mate a bit longer. Was looking forward to the "coded" team radio message !
