Seriously, I remember when Gordon Banks returned to driving, and the fuss made about his disability. I'll often reminisce about the fuss and drive considerable distance with one eye closed. Either:

- I'm extremely gifted, and cope with the situation well.

- I'm such a bad driver, it doesn't make any difference.

Sorry, I can't understand the fuss.

I don't think he will have a say in the matter as some F1 motoring organisation will dictate if he can drive.

As for you, it must be the first example. 8)

Fantastic Goalkeeper considering he only had one eye though!

You lose depth perception when both eyes are not working. Whether or not the brain adjusts over time i dont know, but i wouldnt want to be a foot out doing 200mph!

Steve Slater - completely agree - he is the most useless commentator on the planet, he has no idea! Try and find a place that shows the F1 on the south african satellite and you get commentary from UK - Brundle is the guy to listen to.

I know what i'd like to see next season...

Valentino Rossi in an F1 car. He tested in Shumachers car a while ago and after about 30 laps came within a whisker of his lap times!!! The guy has balls made of iron... :shock:

Would be great to see Valentino make the switch - great time to leave the bikes at an age when he could be a world Champion in F1.

Shuey will certainly liven things up, Button must be worried if he has to go head to head with him.

Could bugger up Jensen's championship chances.
I suspect Ferrari will let him drive for a few races to stymie Button and Hamilton's chances for the title.
