Croft has to go

Excellent race by Crofty. Lots and lots of meaningless stats plus name dropping all the celebs. And let's not forget the endless shouting everytime a car following another got within DRS range. Brundle's tongue must be in a right mess the number of times he has to bite it!!
Haha.I thought his jacket looked great.

As if Croft's complete lack of F1 technical understanding wasn't obvious enough, during FP3 the pillock commented that the wheel tether should have prevented Alex Albon's tyre from escaping the rim when he dinged the wall. t
t!
TBF - when the first shots were shown of the tyre against the wall which cut immediately to the rear camera on Albons car, Jenson initially said the tyre had come but then immediately changed that to the wheel had come off. t!JB said again the "wheel must have come off around the hub" as JB/KC were speculating how. All Crofty said was that he didnt understand how the tethers didnt stop the wheel from coming off, to which JB/KC said the wall hit may have sheared off the suspension so tethers wouldnt have stopped it anyway...
It wasnt until a later slo-mo shot that showed the rim was still on the car, as JB then said oh its just tyre thats come off, the rim is still there .....j
The whole conversation started from JBs comment the wheel had come off

Zero technical understanding. My Mrs has a far more thorough understanding than croft - and she started watching in '08 and asked me if the engines were under the bonnet (by which she meant nose cone.)

I was sat in Turn 2 at this years Indy500 right at the impact point of the Rosenqvist/Kirkwood crash....I deff know wheel tethers are not infallible after watching tyre+wheel+bits of suspension clearing the fencing at 150+ mph!

Today’s “highlight” was him renaming braking points as braking events. To me a braking event is when they don’t work.
A small blessing - At least he hasn't adopted the phrase 'Straight-a-way'.... yet.It's like nails on a blackboard when Danica says it.
Re Danica, she does grate a little, like Rosberg, but they both come up with some wonderfully awkward/off kilter questions on live interviews!

The entire conversation showed how technically inept croft is, it's unbelievable after so many years he doesn't understand the very basics of how the cars work. Button was being pretty thick too. KC was doing his best against a wall of denseness to interject and failed miserably. JB said again the "wheel must have come off around the hub" as JB/KC were speculating how.

Currently on its 4.6 billionth lap around the sun, third highest number of any planet and three times as many as its closest rival, Mars. Tell you what Teddy, I once had a brilliant night out with Johnny Hebert on the red planet, we were drinking in a lovely little place, can't remember the name so we now call it the MARS BAR!

Whatever line of work you lot are currently in, I advise you to chuck it and immediately apply for positions as broadcast executives, since clearly you have deep knowledge of the talents required of on-air talent.
