I think Karun is very good.
Knowledgeable and nice presenting style.
I don’t be paying to watch Sky any time soon.
On the question of Sky vs C4, I have the opportunity to watch both and I choose the C4 programme every time when the race is broadcast live.
The Sky production is good, but the "not too serious" style from C4 (whilst still being informative) betters it.

That's an interesting signing; he comes across well in interviews etc so hopefully he'll add some good insight. Also good to see C4 are adding/replacing (I guess Karun out, Billy in) to their team, opposed to just letting things dwindle away. Not sure the article is 100% correct though; I thought Lee was done with F1 all together; article suggests she'll still be going to some races.ETA just read the Motorsport Broadcasting where they talk about Lee changing her mind. Good to see.

oh come on he's a bit insipid. A bit wet. And is he old enough to know anything?
If any other 20 year old who had never raced in F1 had been signed up there would have been a slew of negative comments. He doesn't know enough to contribute anything meaningful.Let's face it, the only reason he is known so well is because of his accident. Yeah, that wasn't nice, but he was partaking in a risky sport and knew the consequences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Walker Walker served his time commentating on various motorsports for almost 30 years before he got the F1 job. Even then he stuck to what he knew how to do and always had help for the technical view.
To the contrary, Billy has no experience or track record in anything that warrants any form of commentary role in F1.

Jesus Christ. He's going to be doing a part-time pundit role whilst (hopefully) competing in single-seaters elsewhere. How about you give him a chance before writing him off.
Daft decision - trying to pander to the yoofs. He is probably cheap.craigjm said:
