Tyre strategies with pencils, halos with a chicken breastbone (I’m not making that one up) and I can’t even remember what it was he was trying to explain with his shopping bag that time. Utter tt.
Karun will be a total credit to the team, he knows how to explain the technical stuff to laypeople and has genuine experience of the field. Him and Anthony Davidson would have been a perfect pairing, AD looking after the driving analysis and KC the pit lane, strategies and technicals.
Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more, total F1 nerds like me and possibly you don't need that kind of explanation I agree but we're not the whole audience. There's also the casual watcher, people new to the sport, younger viewers who don't want/need anything too technical. As a sport F1 needs to appeal to those people too, Ted was good at that, nothing wrong with explaining the halo with a wishbone (of the chicken variety) everyone knows what that looks like. I think there is a need for that.Karun will be a total credit to the team, he knows how to explain the technical stuff to laypeople and has genuine experience of the field.

The article mentions that his contract wasn't renewed for 2019, but that the bosses at Sky have had a rethink and he will be part of the Sky F1 team for this season.
Anthony Davidson is staying, too. Apparently.
Too many cooks?

Good, sky need TK and AD...
With a bit of luck they will stick Herbert in the commentary when brundle has his 4 races off.
Brundle is one of the lead commentators, along with Croft, yet his contract only stipulates that he works on 17(?) of the 21 races
Why is he not nailed down to do them all? Is it a simple case of Brundle stating that he quite likes the break and 17 is enough, or something else?
Either way, glad to see Kravitz retained if that's the case. His enthusiasm is in the right place.

Maybe it was negotiated to 17 due to his heart problems perhaps.Brundle is one of the lead commentators, along with Croft, yet his contract only stipulates that he works on 17(?) of the 21 races

Cant remember the races exactly but Di Resta done very well in the box, so did Herbert.
Can see Brundle coming out of the ‘box’ to be a super sage/special guest as such, the torch needs to be passed on to another for the grid walk and commentary imo...
