If you are watching Formula 1 on Star Sports, here's a trivia question you may want to check out every Race Day: How many times does commentator Steve Slater say the word "absolutely" in the entire race?

In the last race at Imola, Steve Slater mentioned the word "absolutely" a total of 128 times. That's about twice per lap on the average.

Sometimes he even says it 3 times in one sentence: "That was an absolutely brilliant driving from Michael Schumacher, and the Ferrari fans are absolutely delighted to see the Ferrari team back on top - What an absolutely great driving we are seeing today Chris!"

Absolutely perfectly said, BoyFerrari!

Also: "mano y mano, man to man"...

Hahaha! Yeah, he also likes saying that "Mano y mano" .... but only when Alonso gets dangerously close to Schumi.

Yes, always! Trying to "impress" people with his Spanish I guess (even if it is absolutely incorrect!

who takes the time to painstakingly count word usage by a television commentator?

Napansin ko mukhang nahahawa na rin si Chris Goodwin kay Steve Slater.
In this Nurburgring GP, it was Chris who uttered the most "absolutely" in the
entire race.

I'm not sure if they are intentionally marketing their sponsor:
