Driver interviews are pretty boring these days, especially compared to days
gone by when drivers said what's on their minds (like J. Villeneuve or Eddie
Irvine), and then some fans would berate them for being assholes!
At least it's not as bad as some races in North America, where they stick the
mic in some drivers festering gob and in a 1 minute sound byte, he manages to
mention every single one of his sponsors like "The Goody's Headache Powder,
Joes Pizza, Condom Shack Chevy was running great" all while switching hats
every 20 seconds that display different sponsor insignias on them!
Boring is the way. Nobody wants to alienate their sponsors.
