British Grand Prix

[BoredBloke]

I'll not be watching as it seems too much like watching a motorway to me. I think it got rubbish since that tyre pushed itself into Sennas skull

[BA to the Stars]

I prefer to see racing where they actually overtake, go 2 or 3 abreast into the corners, etc. not have races mainly decided by pit stop strategy, starting place on the grid and fuel levels. After the first lap, it becomes too much of a procession.

Well we do have a tendency to rush to put some of our promising young talent onto pedestals, then take a morbid delight in pushing them off again. I say we get them on the pedestals and wait for them to fall off rather than being so keen to drag them down. Most won't disappoint but we might just end up with a few more success stories than we currently have.

Which brings us back to Murray

Nadal born June 3, 1986 age 22

Grand Slam singles finals (6)

Grand Slam Wins (4)

first GS win 2005 age 19

43 finals 28 wins

Murray born May 15, 1987 age 21

Grand Slam wins 0

Career titles 0

He's not ready yet!

[Dow Jones]

Nadal

OK, but he still gets beaten by Federer most of the time.
Back to British GP. Who in their right minds would pay hundreds to watch it? I'd rather have a go at the Playstation version or even Scaletrix or even watching paint dry.
BTW - Hamilton is another overrated, overpaid but overthere (thank God)

Seems a tad unfair to run a direct comparison with Nadal. At Murray's current age Federer had not won any Grand Slams. Patience man, Rome wasn't built in a day!!

And you never know, he might get lucky. We might even see a smile.

Not worried about smiles. Wins will do for me.

I still think he should get his lookilike, Marlon form emmerdale to help him

I guess it's the atmosphere that you pay for. To actually watch the race you are far better off at home.

A mate of mine is on the crew at Silverstone. His team runs the main stand on (forgot the corner now).
He reckons he gets to watch most of the race as people take their seats early, he just has to fend off a few chancers every now and then. He does other events too.
You could also become a track marshal.
Obviously this requires a bit of commitment.
