    Having Mario there changed things up a bit, and even just to translate some of the radio chatter in Italian it was fun!

    Mario is a good guy - but I think he's kinda flat as a commentator- maybe with some pre practice and research he may be better. it is always good to hear his comments, about Driving for Ferrari...

    Yeah I'm sure he's a great guy, but commentating is definitely not his strong point.

    He needs more practice on his commentary but the italian translation was cool

    kylec,
    they asked about being at Monza when Lauda returned after the crash, but he answered with what happened in the rain at Suzuka that year. I watched it twice to make sure I didn't miss something, but the other guys let him talk anyway.

    First time I saw Mario was at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb (1968?). He won.

    He and I were so young then.

    He is 5 yrs older than me and still has all his marbles. Wish I did. ;)
