Brundle Jargon (No race info posted here)
Discussion
t says: I agree with D Mike on this.
He is about the only one on there apart from Blundell who knows whats going on during the race.
The team radio idea is interesting too. Thank goodness Brundle can translate that into something I can understand.
Can you imagine Murray Walker (bless him) trying to understand what the teams were talking about on their radios?
He would not have a clue.

Personally I can't stand Brundle, granted he may know what he's talking about but his droning voice just irritates me. It was tolerable when he was paired with Murray, less so with James Allen.
ITV should have drafted in Mark Cole, Eurosport's DTM guy, he also does the F1 for Asia I think. He's my kind of guy. Blundell is also miles better than Brundle to listen to.

Blundell better than Brundle!?! He can barely string a sentence together. He may know what he's talking about (so does Brundle, who was also the better driver) but he's not articulate enough in my opinion. He doesn't enunciate clearly either.
Yes that's fine if you can put up with his constant pinkie playing...... Come on, Brundle is very informative. If you think back to Mr Walker..... Think!!! dont get me wrong... I liked his flare, but for info, you can't beat Brundle.
Who would you rather listen too??

Well I said he was better to listen to, not necessarily better. Articulation and enunciation are frankly the last things on my mind watching a Grand Prix, after all Murray gave us some fantastic quips such as 'I've just stopped my startwatch' Legend.
Martin Brundle has my utmost respect.
Firstly, to sit in front of a screen and talk almost continuously for that long without seriously repeating yourself is impressive.
Second, he has a fantastic way of explaining some of the more technical aspects that I, as someone who knows a reasonable amount about the topic, don't find patronising.
He is always calm, patient and uninterested in hyperbole (unlike a certain other commentator that sits not too far from him). He may have a "boring" tone of voice but he says some bloody interesting things with it. I can't think of another single person who could carry out his pit walks so efficiently.
Can anyone confirm (as I may just be blocking out what James Allen says) that ITV's current line-up seem to share airtime 50/50? Surely it is more customary in these situations to have the loud one doing all the commentating and the "expert" feeding in the occasional titbit? If this is the case then they're extremely lucky to have him!
