Did anyone see that LG and FOM have altered the press conference set-up again?

The table has gone and the drivers are all made to sit at seats (bit like late 80s- early 90s set-up). However, they've given the drivers radio mics attached to their faces. Why? It almost looks like they are about to burst into song?

They should get James Allen to sit with them, just so he gets his moment of fame on the BBC.

"HELLO EVERYBODY!!!"

Yes I noticed that aswell and found the headsets to be quite funny and rather dumb. Imagine how the drivers felt .

Nah, I really don't need to see his mug at every interview...

Raft racing needs to be made compulsary, I didn't even know it was tradition! Thumbs up for Lotus and Williams

In some respects, the sport have become all too serious since Bernie transformed F1 into the world's fourth largest economy (at least, according to F1 Racing magazine). I miss the pre-profitability characters the like of James Hunt and Gerhard Berger.

Hunt only drove race cars because it got him the birds. He would punch anyone who crossed him, teammates and track marshals included.

Berger once replaced the photo in teammate Ayrton Senna's passport with a snap of a man's bum. Senna didn't notice the gag until it was questioned by an immigration official.

Those two did loads of stuff like that. Senna superglued Berders creditcards together to get him back for the passport. And another time Brger filled senna's bed with animals.

A bit off-topic but that puts me in mind of the practical jokes Paul Newman and Robert Redford played on each other. Redford promised to give Newman a Porsche for his 50th birthday. He bought an RSR that had been in a particularly nasty shunt and had it delivered by crane to Newman's drive, sans wheels and lump. Newman had the shell cubed in a car crusher and, on the occasion of Redford's next birthday, he arrived home to find the cubed car, adorned with ribbons and bows, sitting in his vestibule.
