Croft is a tyre expert now, apparently his tyres are knackered, yet somehow Verstappen can’t get past

Looks like Sky have really made the effort this weekend, repeats and the Indy car practice feed, at least we won’t hear Croft

Croft is talking so much rubbish I wouldn’t know where to start, if you believed him Hamilton managed to make up about ten minutes in two corners

No mention of Alice Powell's commentating on F2 & F3. Whilst she clearly has infinitely more knowledge and experience than NS, her delivery is flat, often rambling, to the point of not actually making any sense and ultimately tedious. She is no natural commentator. I do wish Sky would make better use of the excellent commentators that they do have in their portfolio; Brundle Snr & Jnr, Alex Jacques, Bernie Collins, Ant Davidson, Jenson Button and at a push, Karun Chandhok.

Top move would be to get Jake Humphries back as anchor.

I just hope to heaven they never pair Powell with Croft. yikes
I’d still prefer a monotone commentator to a screamer

He was dire again on multiple occasions, thinking a car in front was in a fight with the onboard when it was a backmarker and you could see the next car in position was 5 seconds up the road.

He doesn't understand what he is watching at any level. The bloke has the resources at his finger tips but simply cant process what's happening.

You could hear in Brundle's voice how tired of correcting him he now is.
When he did that I was thinking he had a script in his head and he was going to say it whatever, it was obvious to anyone watching that it was a back marker but he just kept on going , I could imagine Brundle poking him to shut up

You understand how TV works then Adrian? Pregnant silences really aren’t ideal. Look at ANY sport commentary..
The point was nothing interesting or exciting was happening on track, the cars were going round and going through the test programs, so no pregnant silences, watching this is why most people tune into free practice, yet Crofts inane irrelevant comments are just an annoyance, other commentators manage to say nothing

What a condescending tt Croft is? Arguing with TK about the LN penalty, when actually I think TK had a good point. It was a safety car penalty, so why call it an unsportsmanlike penalty.
I'm sorry but Kravitz was embarrassing today.
Teds notebook tonight seem to be the ramblings of a bloke with nothing to say
