He seems to be Mr media now he hasn't got a drive.Absolutely, Karun has proved to be an excellent TV pundit! Both infront of the camera and in the commentary box.

He clearly regarded Lewis as the second coming or something.
To those not in the know, back in those days, ITV F1 viewers were treated to endless reams of interviews with Lewis Hamilton and no-one else, with Steve Rider absolutely creaming himself in the tedious process.

Was hoping they would offer just the f1 channel for say £10 a month but least I can get itAre Virgin offering the channel in HD? Last I checked, Sky were keeping a few of the Sports & Movies channels as HD exclusives.
