Från Sunday Times: Give me a bad guy. Give me someone to hate. And you can start with Ralf Schumacher.
Just because his brother is the greatest driver of all time does not mean he’s even half way competent, or else why not have the news read tonight by Huw Edwards’s sister?
Ralf is paid £7m a year by the BMW Williams team and I cannot remember seeing him overtake anyone, ever. He just cruises around at the back, getting in everyone’s way until he has a Reginald Molehusband accident. He pulls into the pits when there’s nothing wrong with his car. He brakes far too early for corners. And he has a face you’d never tire of punching. The only thing in F1 that’s uglier is that walrus-toothed car he drives.
It makes my blood fizz that there’s a brilliant young guy called Anthony Davidson trying desperately to get a drive in Formula One. But he can’t get one because that sour-faced ape is in the way.
I have a great deal more to say about Ralf and many, many plans for rejuvenating Formula One racing, but I’m afraid time is tight and I really must move on to this week’s car.

Jo..Ja.. Jeremy Clarkson är väl knappast den mest opartiska journalisten att yttra sig över vare dig Ralf eller Davison. Större brittisk patriot finns nog inte, han står för allt som jag ogillar med storbritannien. Att sedan Ralf är övervärderad är väl en sak, men att Davidson är "the next big thing" är en rätt stor överdrift. Optimala förhållanden att testköra på fredagar, med startfältets näst bästa bil är den största anledningen till att han "imponerar" på fredagarna. Kommer ingen ihåg hans försök att tävla i F1?
