Martin Brundle

During the 2006 Brazilian GP, Martin got so excited about Giancarlo Fisichella pit-stop that he got him to swap teams: Martin: And finally Fisichella does pit for Ferrari.

At the 2006 season ender Brazilian GP, Martin noticed that Kimi Raikkonen was the only driver to miss Pele's presentation of a gold trophy to Michael Schumacher, whom he replaces at Ferrari in 2007 and beyond. Kimi: Yeah Martin [sarcastically] You'll get over it, then ? Kimi: Hey, I was having a sh*t. Martin Thanks for that! At least you'll have a nice light car on the grid ... ITV were 'inundated' with complaints from viewers of the live feed.

Martin: (the worst commentary box he visits and why) The worst commentary box we visit must surely be Spa. It's an unusual tin box at the beginning of the pit lane with no view and not enough room for James, Mark Hughes and myself to function. This would be closely followed by Magny-Cours where we are actually sideways to the little bit of track we can see. Bernie wants to put us underground with no windows and apparently this may even happen at the new Spa facilities. His view is that we don't need to see the racetrack, just simply watch the television from a remote location which, needless to say, I could argue about for some hours. He also feels we clutter up the paddock. The best commentary boxes would be Barcelona, and Shanghai where we are high up in the gods of the new grandstands with a view of much of the race track and all of the pit lane.
