Top five F1 comedy moments.

Now this week is the anniversary of the first time I watched Formula One.

Now it's not a celebratory number like 20 or 30 years but I'm very proud to reach my 13th year of Formula One.

So this week is the start of a top five posts series.
In which I pick my top five moments in the last thirteen years

Now this post is my top five comedy moments.
Now I have an odd sense of humour.
A combination of my mum's sarcasm and my dad's dark sadistic humour.

Some of your favourite moments may not be in here (But I would like to hear what are yours), but seeing these five clips always make me smile.

Korea 2010: Felipe Massa

Because people falling over is quite funny.




Brazil 2002: Nick Heidfeld

Watch out for that Dooooooooooor!!


Brazil 2006: Kimi Raikkonen

Poo talk on ITV.


Hungary 2011: British fan

It took one man to say what we were all thinking.


Malaysia 2009: Felipe Massa

Because the British know what to say in a crisis.


That's what I love about F1, no matter how serious the sport gets. Comedy arises from somewhere.
Not just from Eddie Jordan's shirts.

Worst F1 fashion. Part One

So after much discussion.
The first post of worst F1 fashion is here.
The reason for the split of posts is quite simple.

It's because worst F1 fashion will continue to run and run. Mainly because Formula One drivers and bosses have no fashion taste, so I don't think this will be my last post on it.

So a few days ago I asked on people on Facebook and Twitter to name or show me the worst F1 fashion they could remember.
Some honest and strange requests appeared.
My personal favourite weird request was David Coulthard's chin.
(Sadly something nature gave him could not be in the list.)

These however were the more eye blinding choices.

Kimi Raikkonen
And the awful trucker hat.



David Coulthard
And the skinny white jeans.



Of course Eddie Jordan shirts were a popular choice.



Shower curtains and carpets are never safe when Eddie is about.

My personal choice is this monstrosity from Michael Schumacher.

Last time I checked the cowboy look was only seen in the westerns.

But the of course the winner of Worst F1 fashion. Part One is...
(Drum roll)

Flavio Briatore.

Warning: Your eyes may never recover from seeing Flavio's mailbag.
*Shivers*

I did sorry for the photographer who took this photo.
Mainly because they are now blind.

But then I remembered.
They inflicted this photo to the F1 world.
And for that I don't think they can be forgiven.

Diary of F1 weekend: Turkey

So Turkey this weekend.

One of the more interesting tracks. Mainly for the fact that if you say your going to the Turkish grand prix. Your easily spotted in the crowd because normally... there is no crowd.

But it's also the scene of the aftermath of a three week Formula One break.

So now I have bored you slightly with a bit of guff, here's my diary of an F1 weekend.

Friday.

Now I was at work on Friday afternoon but with FP1 on at 8am. My usual habit would be to watch FP1 and then miss FP2 to go to work but... on Friday night I was going out. So I spent my Friday morning trying to find my outfit and get everything prepared ready for the one hour timeslot I had to get dressed and back out the door in.

Although I did manage to see Vettel's crash in the rain though. Only because my twitter feed was ready prepared with a Vettel crash video. So I got to watch it on the bus. Mobile technology for the win there.

Saturday.

Again work made me miss qualifying but thanks to the red button. I watched it all just an hour later. So I wasn't as far behind as normal. Qualifying didn't throw up much really. The main news was that Kamui Kobayashi's car failed and so was at the back of the grid for the race. This piece of information alone made the anticipation of the Turkish race more exciting.

Because has anyone who watches F1 knows, Kamui Kobayashi is the master of the overtake and with 23 cars to overtake.

That's a race in itself, never mind the front runners of Red Bull and McLaren.

Sunday

So I'm off today and in even better news because the Turkish race is actually at a decent hour of 1pm. I actually get a lie in. Double result.

Like China three weeks ago. The Turkish GP was a great dry race. Lots of overtaking (Especially by Mr Kobayashi), team mate rivalry and dodgy pit stops (I'm talking to you Ferrari and McLaren)

The things that made the race personally great for me have to be.

• Martin Brundle talking Toblerone etiquette (I didn't even think there was any) with Sebastian Vettel pre race.
• EJ moaning that the overtaking because it was easy made the race dull. That man really needs new glasses or a nap.
• OQN and Petrov fighting for dominance in the Renault team
• The pit stop incidents. It just shows one small mistake can really cost you places
• And Michael Schumacher pretty much showing he is actually related to Ralf. Bad times.

So in two weeks we're off to Spain. Alonso country.

It's usually the place where all the upgrades come on to all the cars.

Can anyone make any improvements to really catch Vettel?

Who knows, but I know it's going to be unmissable.

F1 Fitty of the week.

Hey all.

Hope you are having a great day.

At the request of my Non- F1 following friends.

My Blog needed a fitty of the week.

Now of course I know that my idea of fit is completely different to somebody else's idea of gorgeous.

So to stop Fitty of the week just being my picks

You can write to me at squiffany87@gmail.com

and send me your picture and your reasons why you should have the fitty of the week.

Requests are always welcome. :)

Now it's late at night as I write this post and this time next week I will be getting ready for my stupidly early start of F1 watching.

Australia may have the one of the best races but it does my sleep pattern no good.

6am starts are a killer. Especially when you have work the next day.

:(:(

But one of the F1 fitties that helps me get up in the morning is the BBC F1 presenter Jake Humphrey.

Yum.

Now I know strictly speaking he isn't F1 totty.

He is presenting totty.

But this Ex CBBC presenter has done a lot to change the image of the F1 coverage.

Come on we used to have to look at this at every F1 race.

For newbies that is the ITV F1 presenter we used to have. *Chills*

So Jake is tall and very attractive but the main beauty of Jake is his passion for F1 and his sense of humour.

Jake blogs and tweets continuously and is very much all about the F1 fans, something that past presenters didn't seem to care about.

(He also tweeted me once, something that I like to tell anyone who will listen.)

He also asks F1 persona's the difficult questions that fans need answers about, whether it is about a scandal or the politics of F1 to the more informal questions about the drivers.

Jake covers it all with the fans in mind.

Plus anyone who can take the piss out Eddie Jordan shirts is always going to be a beauty in my book.

So early morning F1 starts.

With Jake at the helm, it makes it seem a little more worth it.

Roll on next weekend
