They’ve been put on Oppo before, but I think many of us can do with a laugh right now. Ladies, gentleman, pets, and Germans, I present to you part of Clive James’s 1982 F1 review, “Brabham invent refuelling.”

As long as you “get” wry/dry/laconic/sarcastic humour, watch as much Clive James as you can. Sometimes a little, ahem, old school in what he says, but reliably witty.

“Ladies, gentleman, pets, and Germans”

I’m already laughing and I haven’t watched the video yet.

“...agreed, for one day only, to put all the nuts on the right bolts.”

Good stuff.

Clive Jones is fantastic, imagine if he commented on today’s F1 highlight videos in the same way.

Favorite part is the very last blurb:

Patrese had a lot of luck, so did a lot of spectators, including the kind of girl who has to get into trouble before she believes that you can get pregnant standing up.
