Croft has to go

[iandc]

The Sprint shoot out is just made for Shouty!! He just screams out of the TV with utter garbage and misses crucial stuff. God I wish he had a volume button fitted. Thank God for the mute button on the TV.
PS The pizzas in Baku must be good based on the increasing size of his gut!

Croft’s shouting, Croft’s never shutting TFU, and the transition of F1 from racing to circus and now pantomime means I won’t be renewing my Sky F1 contract. I actually feel bad about having renewed it last year.

It’s kebabs, apparently.

Probably one of the few times he’s quiet is when he’s shovelling that filth down his gullet.

He didn't even notice Max hit the wall in the first lap at T3.

...and there's not even a 5Live commentary to replace him with.....

[nordboy]

Someone explain what 5 abreast means?????

Dull tt thought that 5 cars behind each other in a row is 5 abreast!!!

Such a tool

Beat me to it - what a tt!

Croft is a tyre expert now, apparently his tyres are knackered, yet somehow Verstappen can’t get past

[86]

The whole Sky F1 format is well past its sell by date. Croft is dire and gets worse it just seems very tired. Today was one of the worst

I know I'm repeating myself but I'm reading this having watched the sprint race on F1TV and recognize none of it. Their commentary (Alex Jacques and Jolyon Palmer) is measured and not shouty at all.

Someone at SKY obviously likes him, they had quite a big clear-out this year, but still ended-up with this Elephant in the room.

Quite why he feels the need to use 10-words when 5 would have been sufficient, I cannot imagine. His latest wheeze seems to be to insert a useless fact into the middle of a sentence that tends to make the whole thing incompressible.

And yet he will be there in Miami, next week, parroting the same utter BS.

I've now binned off my Sky F1 sub and will now try surviving on Radio 5, C4 highlights and "other sources" - fed up with paying for their stale, noisy, lowest-common denominator fare.

Yep. I can also confirm he is still removed from F1’s YouTube channel highlights.

Ditto, damned if I'm paying to be shouted at, happy enough to watch on C4 and YouTube these days. Would love if I could still watch F1 live and for free but c'est la vie.

Yes, you only need to look at BBC sports coverage to get a handle on a really boring sport - 24/7 Snooker coverage ……and, this is good for a laugh

Croft thought the SC was bad news for Checo.

What??????

This must be a wind up to trigger us.

Yeah it's mad. He's been commentating on F1 since 2006 and still doesn't have a clue. Just shouts about tyres and DRS and no substance underneath.

Strolls car must be damaged because the car behind is faster

Sorry - it's easy and personal, but ........... - there's many layers of fat underneath.

Sorry

This race is really showing up his shortcomings in having zero knowledge about fk all, it has just been the Bernie Collins show because he has no idea what to say and relies on people with actual knowledge.

The team is worse than it was last year.

Someone also needs to beat him with a dictionary, CHAMPING! Not fking chomping you utter oaf
