I had a fair bit of time for Di Resta, especially as he gets a lot of flak on here generally.
But he’s gone full RB lately and i didn’t think that’s what people want from a pundit.

Perhaps though, he is just being honest. I can just tell that all the F1 TV crews (and quite possibly the rest of the media, FIA/Liberty) are desperate for a different story to tell after Merc/LH domination.

Why does Croft insist on getting excited about which driver has the fastest lap on about lap four or five when it’s obviously going to be beaten many times in the course of the race?

OH god!! Karoon just told Crofty to keep volume on maximum until at least turn 5 on first lap!! "It's lights out and away we go and go and go"

How many times did they talk about Lewis and Max today, every other sentence, anyone who worked for Sky, I don’t think they talked about the other drivers, maybe Bottas once

That's my sentiment exactly.

It could be the best lap in the world, but if you don't cross the line it's nothing.

I could fly until I hit the ground.
I wonder if we have any recent examples, of a lap that was really good for the first 95% of it but ended up counting for nothing..?

I will struggle to watch the live ch4 race with this nob. I’ve mentioned before but no one here seemed to comment on it (so maybe it’s just me?) but they seem to do something to the reverb (? guess) to make his voice very piercing. I seriously can’t hardly listen to him, it’s painful. It’s not just the volume cos I can turn the volume down a bit, but it still hurts. So I’m positive it’s not natural, something is enhanced.

Norris runs over a dislodged bollard, “You can see how downforce works there Martin, it was sucked under the car”. No you idiot, he just ran over it rolleyes

Another one;

Martin commenting on helmet cam: if you want to see how this feels, imagine lying down in the bath, looking over the taps, doing 200mph, looking through a letterbox

Gobste Crofty: ‘I can’t imagine a bathtub doing 200mph chortle chortle’

No you tt, that’s not the point. Martin, an ex-F1 driver who has driven a couple of these modern cars with Halo devices is trying to give the viewers a sense of perspective. He’s not LITERALLY saying it’s like a bathtub doing 200mph.

He just loves the sound of his own voice rolleyes

He is also looking like a goose fattened up for Christmas. How does he run round the track?

Perhaps it's like one of those road car vs F1 car videos TV shows do occasionally; Crofty starts three corners from the end of the lap, while all the ex-drivers start on the start line and still catch Crofty before he gets to the finish line?

"Whose going to be on pole?? We will know in 30 seconds"
No you won't you plonker. We will know in 30 MINUTES!!
God he is going to be intolerable tomorrow screaming out of the TV for the entire race. Plus if his hero Max wins the decibel level will smash the TV!!

Starts trying to add tension/drama talking about stewards possibly looking at whether Max had run wide on one of his runs and would have time deleted.

Failing to notice since that point he had gone faster on another lap since, therefore making his point totally irrelevant.

Clueless idiot.

Agreed! He is so buy yabbering down the mike he never has time to engage what little brain he has and say something sensible. Its TV you idiot; you don't have to talk non stop all the time!

Channel 4 are showing the race live today, so no need to watch then moan about Sky.

C4 will be covering the race live today for anyone looking to avoid sky coverage, but only from 5 mins before the race.

I've said it before if C4 had all races live I'd choose their coverage over sky, more of a sense of fun and genuine enthusiasm for the sport on C4.
