Croft has to go
Discussion
I dont watch f1 much no, I take a few races in so enough to comment, but are you adding to the discussion or just taking the mick? One is easy, one take a bit more thought huh!
Regarding WEC I like Shaven Haven, he makes me laugh, he is critical of decisions when necessary and drivers, does not sit on the fence and I dont mind his waffles, but then WEC is suited to that, Davidson adds a lot as a recent driver and is more interesting than McNish who is as dull to listen to as anyone I can recall!
I used to watch session in F1 years ago, but quickly realised it was full of rubbish, it used to be better when they got journos in the box, like MotoGP did years ago, you got news then and rumours not just soft language, stats and garbage like now

How can he spout so much rubbish, he was just screaming gibberish, we are all watching DR and SV 100 metres between them and he’s commentating on a different imaginary race
Sky have very clearly told him to dial up the hype when the races are dull. Imaginary battles are his specialty.Adrian W said:

Last week's new tyres being stickier than a very sticky stick that's sticky or whatever inane drivel he was spouting did for me. It's just condescending.Got F1TV pro for £6.99 for a one month pass, very pleased actually. Commentary team follow the action far better and read developing situations, talk like adults that aren't addressing a summer camp for hyperactive children, and also use split screens when they want to focus on something the director isn't, such as the inevitable start replays that always play over some live track action. Didn't even miss brundles input (which has been waning anyway, I think working with croft has destroyed him).
So it'll be goodbye sky I think, guess I'll pointedly cite croft if they ask why;). Discovery app will give me Eurosport for bikes and other stuff and I'm wondering if I should bother with a Freesat DVR or go full web
After being a fierce critic of him for years, actually watched a race complete today for the first time in ages, with a mate who loves it to bits and the muppet was bearable today, it was not a great race obviously so he did not need to get shouty but there was enough going on for him not to stat drop every second.
Just wish he could do that every time really, all he needs to do is inform, nothing more. You get the impression he knows people, so tell us a story now and then?

This is what I am thinking of doing too, I have motorsportTV for WEC/Le Mans stuff and the only other sport I watch is the NFL which I beleive Channel 5 has also picked up. I take it the F1 app uploads past races etc to stream in case you miss it live
