Hope he'll be back.

[V8 Fireworks]

But he's a republican     

[Goron3]

I love how he didn't know who the drivers were

 

What a hero, though. 'I'll be back!' haha.

[Grayson]

I hope so - just to see him ask, "So how does it feel to come second?" every two weeks.

[ConsiderAndGo]

What a legend! Most entertaining thing about the race!

[275 GTB-4]

I'm looking for Louvis Hamelten,,,

[OfficeLinebacker]

Agreed!  This was the most interesting part of the race.

 

Seeing Hamilton all geeked up was awesome.

 

Only downside was I thought it was in poor taste for Hammy to remark about Arnie's height.  However he's just got out of a car and was just looking for something to say.  Arnie had a great response.

 

Overall 10/10 would watch again.

But he's a republican     

Bizarre isn't it?

But that's California.

So has Jerry Brown. Twice. And his dad.  

And don't forget Reagan.

I wouldn't live anywhere else. 

   

[Radion]

Hope for Nicole Scherzinger doing one as well this season.

[Melchiot]

Arnold for president

[Huffer]

Loved the Arnie interview. He obviously had a good think about the questions to ask and reverted to something he had in common with the drivers; training, preparation and concentration. 

Entertaining and interesting. Great stuff.

[Lotus53B]

But as everyone says, a shame Toto wasn't up there to get the constructor's trophy, that would have been a hoot...

[ocp]

No thanks.

He's an evidence-based rational republican who seeks bipartisan agreement. Under his stewardship California has become a global leader in renewable energy.

Was Lewis surprised to see him? What did he say? The German translator made it difficult to understand

[pusko]

Like him or not, he has something special...I don't know.
Hasta la vista...baby

[brr]

He should have come naked on the podium and say "I need your overalls, your helmet, and your race car".

And what good is that, unless you mean nuclear power of course, windmills and the like is just expensive and unreliable sh*t, so typical for an actor to buy that nonsense.

it wasn't poor taste, at all. arnie's films have consistently made him look over 6 foot. that was done knowingly from day one of his career. the entire world thinks arnie is the terminator and is a very tall actor. don't blame lewis for hollywood lying to us.

 

i once got into a huge argument with someone who refused to believe arnie was actually about 5.7". the movies had convinced everyone he was really tall.

He was 6 ft+ in his Olympia years..

In future I suggest not getting into heated arguments if you have no idea what you are talking about. Lewis is somewhere between 5.7-5.9'' and Arnold was clearly taller than him on the podium.

Google knows to tell he's 188 cm tall

This is not an evidence-based comment. But we are getting off topic.

Arnold for president

 

He can't be, he wasn't born in the US

[brr]

He can't be, he wasn't born in the US

 

Austria has a president too.

[Jon83]

The only decent thing about watching that rubbish today.

[evo]

A pity the reason he asked all those fitness questions was due to him being here for the Arnold Classic (http://www.arnoldclassic.com.au/)

 

Would've been fair questions otherwise.

... sorry, that makes him a RINO 

[Razoola]

They could offer Jeremy Clarkson the job. That could get some interest. I personally did not think much of Arnies interview. It was great as a one off entertainment but watching such interviews every race would soon be a put off. He did not know the driver names... I mean, come on.

[Paco]

Love the fact for the 1st time in a long long time someone did a awesome job up there asking questions. I love the fact Arnold asked very good and appropriate questions. I was let down by the answers mind you... Lewis was a bit star struck but would have been nice to hear how much effort they put into training and preparation and nico had a chance to say how much he put in the off season to take on the world champ. Vetted could have described the feeling walking into Ferrari hq for the 1st time etc. oh well, good on Arnold for being on his game.

I agree, Arnold every week.

[Dolph]

He should have come naked on the podium and say "I need your overalls, your helmet, and your race car".

 

I would have preferred:

 

Arnold walks onto the podium and says: "Relax, guys, you all did a great job. Nobody is going to get terminated". Then gives Rosberg a long stare.

And the original democrats wanted to keep slavery. 

[Rakaman]

Wait he did the interviews? Turned this off and went to sleep halfways through. 

[LORDBYRON]

i'll be back

[Jardins]

The celebrity podium interviewer has to stop! That was cringeworthy! Most times the drivers don't even answer the questions. It's utterly pointless.

Arnold will always be my inner child's hero.

[SCUDmissile]

Agreed. Actually asked insightful questions, better than the other usual dry stuff from the guest interviewers.

 

Best part of the race.

[Rasputin]

Entertaining or not, why AS was asked to do this remains a mystery, he hasn't made anything worth mentioning on the big screen for 20 years and he left office in 2011 with a record low 23% approval rating.

 

In Australia at that?

[Kristian]

I think if you take into consideration Australian politics, its actually very appropriate...

Edited by Kristian, 15 March 2015 - 17:26.

[Atreiu]

He was there for the Arnold Classic in Australia, and F1 and star power go hand in hand. Arnold doesnt need to make any more blockbusters to be a star.

Podium interviews are generally painful and uptight, they got it right with Arnold.

He still gets a lot of love. We get it. You don't like him.

[Ricardo F1]

Only if he gets taller.

I'm still trying to figure out what Rasputin does like....

[johnmhinds]

Don't know why they didn't ask Jackie Stewart to do it since he was on the podium giving out a trophy, he was there as the Rolex Ambassador what ever the heck that means...

 

Strange that they picked Arnold Swartazanegger to do it, but still slightly amusing and random, and better than having Benedict Cumberbatch doing it again after he did it twice last season at Malaysia and Monaco.....

 

Can we have Steven Seagal for the next race please?

Wait, those actually exist?  Given the "reporting" on Fox News, I thought those were up there with unicorns and both morally and fiscally responsible Democrats.  What is the world coming to?!
