What the blithering fk? “I just have this feeling Ted that we’d see Mario Andretti in the paddock with an inflatable dolphin under his arm” because Mario coined the phrase “porpoising” to explain the bouncing of the cars back in 1978.

Can someone at Sky please sack this moron?

I just watch it now with the sound permanently muted.

I'm sure you'll work it out

Yep, box ticking. It’s the same across all sports broadcasting. F1 is behind football, cricket, rugby etc in getting on messsage. Golf, predictably, is still behind.

What’s worse is I’m sure you will find suspension textbooks discussing suspension frequency and porpoising a long time before then.

Clear off to another thread - this one's to have a go at Croft.

Have you said similar about Natalie Pinkham, Rachel Brookes or Rosanna Tennant?

She can have a more knowledgeable discussion of driving with the drivers than any of the above 3 or Simon Lazenby, might as well add Herbert to that list too.

How do you feel about Billy monger presenting?

Watched the practice, Croft continually spouting rubbish as expected, but why us Naomi Schiff (looked it up) there all she seems to do is agree with the other presenters and bring nothing to the party

I think she's pretty good.

She's got strong looking legs.

Already a hell of a lot better that Di Resta could ever be.

Have they sacked him?

We can only hope.

I usually don't mind Ted but there were far too many silly k**b moments in the notebook today. I gave up after five minutes. The whole Sky format seems very stale now

No, both PDR and Ant Davidson are busy at Sebring.

I like Ant, but I hope that Paul stays busy elsewhere.

Great to have Valsacchi back commentating on the lower formula, proof you can be a bit of a loon but still both skilled and enjoyable. There's a bit of the Murray about him I feel.

[Adrian W]

Crikey I think I’ll be watching F2 with the sound turned down this year DV is back and they have both been taking lessons from Croft

I was certainly hoping so.

DiResta has been driving at Sebring this weekend, winning together with a 16 year old co-driver.

Class win. Paul is a decent driver, but a terrible pundit.

Shocking pundit, he seems to genuinely have trouble putting successful sentences together.

And sound off

Only watched highlights, the shouting seems worse and somehow even more than usual, I do think it is fed by producers sadly, which shows the contempt they have for fans i guess.
