Suzi Perry.
I had low expectations of her from the start.
She held it together a few times during the year. And I was pleasantly surprised. But this race weekend she was woeful. Seems she cannot do live TV coherently. Fine when it's the pre-recorded highlight shows. But if it goes wrong like in Qualifying and they have to "fill" she falls apart.
I couldn't do it, but then I'm not being paid (estimated) £100K a year to front a major sport on BBC
On a related note, Tom Clarkson has been very good addition this year. Though I thought Domenicalli was particularly rude walking off mid question at the end.
I watched the bbc red button today and was hugely disappointed by the piss poor quality of it. DC looked embarrassed, it was clear when I watched Sky later that they had beaten the beeb to the interviews first. A real shame as the beeb red button antics used to be so good (remember DC WRC in the pool at Monado for instance?)I had low expectations of her from the start.

When you will set an all time record that will be very hard to beat, Ever. Imo
Yes that's true, that's why I think it would have meant something. It's taught me something about how he views his legacy; what he cares about and what he doesn't. Ruthless to a fault, imho.When you will set an all time record that will be very hard to beat, Ever. Imo

Well done Chilton. Can't be easy not only having to avoid every other car lapping him every other lap but anyone cursed with the voice of Russell Brand and face of Skeletor should be applauded.
Does anyone else feel that Chilton's Marussia got less airtime over the season than Sutil's squeeze Jennifer?SS7

Shame Vettle isnt enough of a man to have a 'problem' and give Webber a final win. In fact, had he done the decent thing and crashed then we would have the perfect podium with Button finally getting something from the season.
I know he's a racing driver and all he wants to do is win, but still. Its a spectator sport at the end of the day.
A fitting end to the season though, pretty typical of all recent races. Vettle wins, and some semi-interesting racing behind him.
Are you serious? "it's a spectator sport"? I know he's a racing driver and all he wants to do is win, but still. Its a spectator sport at the end of the day.

So what? You want finishes to be scripted to provide the most entertainment for the fans? it is this sort of b
ks that created the st tyres we have had all year, trying to engineer results.I just cannot disagree more. All sports, m racing, cricket, tennis etc - have evolved into spectator sports. All sport is for the players. That some people are prepared to pay to watch merely generates more money for the competitors - but without the spectators there would still be motor racing because people want to compete on race tracks in cars.
