Now THAT'S rain.

Good article by Mark Webber on driver heat management. He needs a bit of practice at presenting to camera, mind you. But I think that will come :-)

Made me feel embarrassed at our lack of languages.

Rosberg was talking to the drivers afterwards, Hamilton in English, Vettel in German, Alonso in Italian, Kimi in Finnish and Massa in Spanish.

yep, but they both speak Spanish and I do not think Nico speaks Portuguese.

Sorry, was being a dickhead again, should have read Rosberg not Vettel.

He and Vettel made Hamilton look a right gooseberry in the towels/caps/watches area when they chatted in their native German. Bit discourteouos arguably.

I guess being multi-lingual (beyond native + English) is a natural product of growing up in Monaco. Funny that Rosberg is not fluent in Finnish (imagine if, like Keke, you could only converse with your son in a foreign language :lol: ).

Agree, it's embarrassing how rubbish we are at languages - but we don't really have a chance.

Just goes to show how exciting the race was if the only talking point is what language everyone was speaking :lol:
So glad the BTCC season started today.

Yes and I forgot about it, and I am normally the one that puts up a reminder.

BTSport bonus find for me. Was good wasn't it. The cars move around like F1 in the 80s. Top stuff!
