This probably should have happened years ago, not that his dad has done a bad job (that I can tell) but F1 is several orders of magnitude bigger than anything else.

Is there any particular reason for ragging on Martin Brundle? Has he done a bad job previously? Bear in mind that his record as a driver has nothing to do with his skills (or lack of) as a manager.

I don't particularly care who manages a driver, unless they have a conflict of interest in managing a team as well (are you listening Flavio? Of course not). Hakkinen, though ... I'm not sure. I think he could do better. I don't recall him being noted for his media skills, one of the key skills for a manager (liaising with the media). The 2MB guys are much better at that (are they still together?).

Having Brundle commentate and manage a driver is like Eddie Macquire calling Collingwood games, there is already an established bias, whether intended or not... I'm not saying Brundle is a bad manager, in fact I bet he would be rather good, but to do so whilst he is commentating does tarnish his ability to be totally partial..

Perhaps, although bear in mind Brundle's role in the telecast, he's there as the technical expert and ex-driver, so he's there more to fill in the gaps from the other guy (I forget his name) than to give his opinion. At least that's the theory. I do agree, though, that when it comes to the media, you shouldn't play both sides of the street.

haha campos is now HRT F1.... wonder if the supporters will be a pack of bogans

HRT also stands for Hormone Replacement Therapy ... wouldn't want to be a woman working for that team. Or a girly man.

Will the bigger fuel tanks/loads be to the advantage of the larger drivers?

Could be, the driver weight difference will be a smaller percentage of the overall car weight so will affect the car's performance less. I don't think it makes a lot of difference anyway, they all bring the cars up to the minimum weight with ballast anyway. The only difference is the lighter drivers have more options re: placement of ballast.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
