If you'd actually not use that damn illustrator pen, the viewer may actually see what the hell you are talking about!

    Wow! Awesome segment. I don't mind Matchett at all. Should read his book, great insight into F1. At least it's not Varsha telling us for the umpteenth time how F1 engines rev to 18,000 rpm!! Lol

    On a side note, that F%@#ing Newey. I'm gonna sh!t if he somehow manages to give Vettel the Championship again. Please let it be them pushing the envelope again like in 2005 where things kept breaking!!!

    Don't get me worng, I love Matchett for his insight, just take away that damn illustrator pen from the guy. He's usually drawing over the exact thing he's trying to get you to look at.

    Funny. I kept thinking what's the point of the pen while he was drawing with it and saying: "riiight here,........and here,......and right here" Lol

    No kidding. It's not just his pompous accent and oversize collars to try to hide his enormous bloated triple chin, it's his creepily wandering eyes while he is speaking. Can't stand Hobbs and Matchett.

    Looks like Newey might have to reach into his bag of tricks....again!
