Croft has to go
Discussion

These guys are so silly including Jenson.
You expect it from Croft but for the thousandth time- to move aside Checo has to be in front of Max! Something he has never achieved. This is real desperate commentary
Half the problem is they have so much airtime they just spout meaningless crap to fill the time. You expect it from Croft but for the thousandth time- to move aside Checo has to be in front of Max! Something he has never achieved. This is real desperate commentary

It’s like “coming next Sebastian and Jenson have a chat” then after about a minute, “ you can see more in our xxxx program”
It’s desperation, they all have nothing to say.
Is it COVID related? They used to do a piece on the city they were in, and then show some sort of challenge (Kimi on the hovercraft, etc.)It’s desperation, they all have nothing to say.

I have to agree unfortunately. Very underrated driver, lovely guy, steeped in F1 history but dull as dishwater. Jenson is much better and Rosberg turned out to be better than the entire Sky team put together!
Never a better statement this weekend, watch the sky team of idiots do the opposite I know they all have to fill in airspace from time to time but the"pub banter" and giggling at the end of every meaningless sentence they utter is bloody annoying. Perhaps a little research would help them fill in with meaningful commentary rather than giggling about what they had for dinner the previous evening. It's like they think we might be remotely interested

The beauty of TV as opposed to radio is you have pictures and don't have to talk all the time to avoid 'dead air'. With the increased amount of on screen graphics and information sometimes the picture can be enough. (ESPN I believe had/have a philosophy that there should be enough information on screen for the viewer to follow what is happening when it is being show on a screen in a bar with no sound)realjv said:

F1 are apparently working on a lot more graphics, hopefully of the factual rather than predictive type. In the last couple of races we’ve seen the start analysis, looking at 0-100kph and reaction times. Pulling out things like which gaps are closing and who’d started going unusually fast or slow would be useful. Rob Smedley has done a few interviews on the subject in recent weeks, he’s now working with F1 on performance analysis - for those who don’t know him, he spent a decade as a race engineer, most notably with Filipe Massa.

Smedley could do worse than sit down and watch how the motoGP boys run their shop

Yeah smedley talking about improving data was a bit galling, given I was watching 20 years ago with live timing on the side screen, something that now the several hundred quid I pay sky is not quite enough and they want to grasp more, and just to rub salt, we are subjected to Amazon's patronising attempts to digest for us our technical sport.

You pay sky several hundred quid to watch F1?Smedley could do worse than sit down and watch how the motoGP boys run their shop

If you've got a laptop/notebook handy while you're watching the race you can get live timing here: https://f1.tfeed.net/liveLukeBrown66 said:
Have to admit that I thought he was OK in Mexico, not usual for me to watch f1 live but he was bearable in comms for a change.
Have to agree (and I've been very critical of him in the past) he kept the shouting to a minimum although I was casually watching rather than glued to it so maybe I just missed it

He probably is on PH
