    He does a great job on BBC as well. I respect him much more after watching his commentary and interviews...a true professional racing driver.

    It's not often I actually learn something from the drivers PC mutterings these days. I said before he comes across well in interviews etc but it seems he writes well too.

    Thanks again for posting,
    Cheers,

    I think he is fantastic as a commentator and I hope that he gets a race seat for next year and goes on to a great career before retiring and joining the BBC as a race commentator... the Beeb would be stupid to let him go anywhere else. His recall of F1 history is INSANE and he has the ability to bring that knowledge into a discussion of current F1 events in a relevant way. That is a rare talent.

    Read the article and it gave me a lot of insight, things which I couldn't have known otherwise. Too bad the guy doesn't a have a drive for 2011.

    Karun deserves a ride. Look at the results, for his 10 starts he was the most consistent driver at HRT.

    He must have had a lot of time to write when Sakon relieved him of that terribly time consuming job of driving.

    I wouldn't assume he wrote it without some literary assistance.

    A distinct possibility he may be able to replace Rutledge on Top Gear USA.

    The second clutch part was very interesting; I knew they always had two paddles - but when did they start using them the way he described?
