Peter was great, but Will has become much better (but not quite as good as Peter) in my opinion.

There were some races on "regular" Fox the past few seasons and I expect the same next season on NBC.

Hmm I guess I need to pay more attention then. Though I can definitely see why everyone's worried about commentators lol

Raikkonen gifts 'leave me alone' t-shirts to Lotus staff

Nov.12 (GMM) Kimi Raikkonen has turned his newly-famous grand prix-winning catchphrase into a t-shirt for the entire staff of the Lotus team.

The inimitable 'iceman' thrilled his fans with his radio banter - broadcast live on television - en route to the first win of his F1 comeback recently in Abu Dhabi.

And, to mark the Enstone based team's first win since its works Renault days, Raikkonen memorialised his most famous Abu Dhabi uttering - 'Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing' - on the front of t-shirts for the entire Lotus staff.

The 500 t-shirts arrived at Enstone last Friday, according to the BBC.

I think I'll send one to my cardiothoracic surgeon. I need him to walk on water too.

lol

The shirts looked darn cool!

I dislike having to wait to watch qualifying and the race. I have become used to watching the action via DVR early in the morning . . .
