I thought he was fine. And he even also wears pink shirts!
They could have done with an onboard of Grosjean's lap after qually was over though.

They've fallen into that trap Top Gear did (which it might have got out of really) of trying to deliver the same incidental banter which sometimes happens due to their chemistry, but forcing it, which is seen in the way the reference to EJ's shirts can get out of hand at times and a few similar things. Some of the intros for example with the three of them are a bit 'let's be a bit idiotic' Top Gear-esque. They're damn good, but they shouldn't force it
quite so much.
There's a programme on the F1 Channel now with Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Murray Walker sitting round chatting about the past in a studio that resembles a living room a bit. Oddly, there's a cafetiere half-filled with coffee, but no-ones yet pushed the plunger down and it's been 15 or 20 minutes. Is it an artificial prop?
