They now only have a Notebook for the races he attends, none for quali any more.

Ted Kravitz is part of the broadcasting team for the new W series for women along with Claire Cottingham (lead commentator), David Coulthard (analyst and co-commentator) and Lee McKenzie (main presenter).

Probably a topic for another thread, but this W series really pisses me off ...

Shame to see the likes of DC giving their time to it, but I guess a jobs a job - and C4 want to expand their motorsport coverage in an affordable way.

I think DCs production company is looking after it? Easy job to slide into.

Terrible thing to support though.

Fixed that for you.

Coulthard and Newey are both on the board as advisors.

Sure Ted said he’s not back until Canada, I do enjoy the notebook but it’s pretty pointless if it’s not every race.

When’s button making an appearance?

His notebook was good and there is something lacking without this bookend as the teams pack up.
Hope he enjoys the W series.
Was interesting watching the woman driver mess up and cause 2 other competitors to go out of the f2 race and not even acknowledge them as she sneaked away.
Best corral them in there own series lol.

Will Buxton does a better job on Youtube, called Post race paddock pass.on the official Formula 1 Youtube channel.

I don’t like button. He always seems so self-satisfied, it’s really annoying.

His a millennial, that's why he seems off.

Not sure you can call someone who was born in 1980 and is about to turn 40 a millennial. By the strictest definition perhaps but it's not what the majority of people (IMO) would expect.

You're right, he is borderline millennial who's trying to make up for it with exaggeration. I can't help but cringe every time he brings up CLC father's death like he did this weekend during an interview with him clearly steering Charles in that direction searching for tabloid-like sensationalism. Why would feel the need to mix that with F1, give the guy a break.

Are you talking about Button or Buxton?

[Bullitt Five-Oh]

Buxton.

Will Buxton has recently published a book "My Greatest Defeat" which is based on interviews with drivers about their lowest ebbs. He's looking for the angle behind the drivers and perhaps should be praised for getting drivers to open up to him which it would seem he is actually fairly effective at. The question therefore may be to ask why is he so effective at that?

So does Piers Morgan, and he's effective. He's clutching at straws.
