Mark Blundell's Grid Walk

Last weekend Martin Brundle was mysteriously absent from the ITV commentary team. His stand-in, Mark Blundell, took over Brundle's now legendary gridwalk, but ITV decided not to broadcast it. Now, Planet-F1 has obtained what we believe is an exclusive transcript of the grid walk... and we can understand why.

Jim: So, can Michael Schumacher make it twelve wins out of thirteen at the Hungaroring?

James Allen: Certainly can, certainly might, certainly could.

Jim: Let

i saw what the brits did at the start for tv

JA: And the 2004 World drivers championship begins...NOOOOOWWWWW! Cracking start by Ren Alonso, Alonso's on the grass, but Montoya's fighting back...

I couldn't understand a thing because of their *puckers cheeks* preppy little british accents.

Windsor doesn't even report at the races, and our guys never even go to the races, with the exception of the USGP. If only you guys could get the American broadcast of the US race, oh, pumpdoc, don't forget Derek Daly there.

Well, I think espnstar's Steve Slater and Chris Goodwin are a 1000 times better than this guy, who incidentally seems to mention "guy" a lot of times.Those two at espnstar somehow manage to make every race interesting.

Well we conquered

but we have like a lot more nukes than anyone...And we beat you as a rag-tag army in the 1770s, we beat you in the war of 1812, and we bailed ur asses out of WWI and WWII. And we fought nearly half the war by ourselves against the Japanese. As for Germany, we helped, but in the Pacific we were basically by ourselves.

what happened to phelps getting 8 gold medals? talking it up alot before the olympics....then he stuffed it

if you work out the medals relative to population of that country america is well down and Autralia actually lead.

[AutoRacer5 0]

Well either way we have more medals than anyone, and we didn't feel the need to conquer others like you all did, anyway, notice: everywhere u guys conquered, they revolted and won... OHHHHHHH and we still got more nukes than you do.

And Blundell did drive in America, i remember in either 96 or 97 he had a tire go down at Rio and it sent him straight for the wall. He had to have some type of back surgery I think.
