Are channel 4 not doing their own commentry?
Nope, it’s a direct feed of the Sky coverage, presumably with all the Sky logos and references as an advert for the pay-TV provider, as part of the deal. You’ll be getting Crofty and Brundle on C4 live. Adrian W said:
He’s back spewing rubbish, apparently Binotto designed the car whilst eating his breakfast,
Have you heard Sky’s new advert for the F1 season, wow. He is even shouting in an advert!We have arrived at the Eve of the new season, and I am still not sure I can be arsed with it. I am giving very serious consideration to binning Sky F1, £216 a year to listen to that clown.
The problem then is the only option if I do choose to watch is Channel 4 and that’s means listening to Coultard defend every single thing Max and red bull do.
If it were me I would try and find a place to watch maybe in a foreign language for free, try and stream perhaps, I get the annoyance, he is a moron and a shouty moron at that and he totally ruins certain parts of races.
Quite why SKY continue to employ him suggests to me he is asked to do it by cretinous directors and producers.
I know Murray got excited and shouted a bit, but it somehow seemed bearable with him as you know it was just Murray getting excited, with this retard it just seems forced and he seems to think he is amazing.

Yes he really thinks he’s got a Brand going doesn’t he.Quite why SKY continue to employ him suggests to me he is asked to do it by cretinous directors and producers.

But you just know he’d turn on the same ‘excitement’ for 2 flies crawling up a window.

The thing with Murray was that you knew he was a genuine enthusiast and knowledgeable about may types of motor sport including motor bikes. Croft doesn't demonstrate the same passion. But, thinks shouting works !RichB said:

But, thinks shouting works !Turning the tables a bit I caught Covid at Xmas and to treat myself I got the F1tv basic package so have been watching the archive, haven't even clicked on anything recent. A lot of it is not BBC and people like SImon Taylor did a world feed he has a voice like a drain hole but you get the footage at least
But for the BBC stuff my word James was a superb co commentator, he saw so much, and said the very least to add colour and insight. He was often criticised for picking on people like Patrese or de Cesaris or Arnoux, but with damn good reason, watch it back sand some of their driving was poor.
I had forgotten how much of a dick Eddie Cheever could be at being lapped too, he was a damn hothead!!
But you do get that smoother flow, and it somehow feels right, unlike this modern idiot who thinks shouting is the only way to add excitement, I have some sympathy with him at times as to me modern F1 has very little jeopardy, the carsa re so reliable and the tracks drivers etc, you would get races back then that would come to life at the end as cars brooke down or ran out of fuel, but really he does ruin the coverage so much
