Jonathan Noble: Online
Jonathan Noble took advantage of his son's first birthday to stay at home last weekend, and enjoy a weekend on the sofa watching both F1 and MotoGP. But the rare treat left him wondering why F1 doesn't learn from MotoGP when it comes to post-race coverage...
I had a bit of what I would call a treat last weekend. Like a pass by Halley's Comet, an afternoon sat on the sofa watching both Formula One and MotoGP within a couple of hours of each other is something that doesn't happen very often for me.
But thanks to my son's first birthday, the ease of finding some cover for the German Grand Prix, and some fortunate planning by the F1 and MotoGP calendar makers, I was able to sit down and watch matters with a cool drink in my hand and not a notepad nor Dictaphone in sight.
