Crofty and Karen equals verbal nonsense and trivia. Oddly slagging off the event . No doubt they dont enjoy being there.
Missed Alonso late charge to within .6 seconds due to some st they were on about or something.
Roll on Miami where even if its dross they will be super enthusiastic due to fear of being caught in a random shooting spree lol.

Christ on a bike! Croft was even worse this weekend - if that's possible.

I seriously rate Bernie Collins - she brings a new dimension to the punditry that is most welcome.

I know a lot on here don't rate Damon Hill, but he does speak his mind, which is a welcome trait. Had to chuckle when he said he thought Max was just sulking after the sprint race.

Next year they either need to bin Crofty of change the track layout to remove the long last straight. Every lap car B was quickly catching car A in front, but despite his screaming down the mic, no overtake was completed. Utter crap!!

Was Mr Croft ever actually involved in F1 in any professional capacity?

nope.

He comes from an ahem, "professional" commentary background. Football and darts.

I doubt he was even a fan of F1 or motorsport beyond superficial. I suspect when "this gigs" up he'll walk away and never think to think of F1 again.

The only competitive setting he's ever been a part of is probably pie eating.

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
TBF to the lad.

rofl
Classic!!
Sorry I thought that was a reasonable question for someone in that job would presumably need some inside knowledge or at least be a ‘super geek ‘ on the subject but fair enough.

Hi Mark,

Sorry, that was not aimed at belittling you in any way, it was aimed at Crofty's credentials. It was a reasonable question and one that many F1 fans have been struggling with for years.

You could never reach his lows, although my not thinking more broadly did somewhat.

My apologies for any confusion.

He wasn't mocking you Mark.

The poster was exaggerating his faux outrage at the implication that Croft has any competence in any field he accepts payment in. And that he may not, as suspected, be a gold digging mini sausage on a stick quaffing we to whoever bids his fat arse to the easiest paycheck with the most self-aggrandizing opportunities for narcissism.

I wouldn't take it personally.
Spot on!

The coverage that we see on screen is down to the director - at the approach to the end of each race it is always about the winner, so that is what Crofty was shouting about.
Alonso wasn’t really on a late charge - Leclerc had a big margin so he coasted home doing just enough to stay ahead of Fred.
The race was pretty dull - it must be hard to commentate on the race when not a lot happens.
Martin is much better at giving an insight than Crofty - Karun did a good job in a bad situation.
I’m far from a fan of Crofty, but this week was a bit much - all Crofty without the contrast of Rachel or Natalie in any session.
I liked most of what Damon said this week, but he is still one of the weakest former drivers on the team - Ant, Martin, Karun and Jenson are all preferable to Damon or (please fk no) Nico.
Ted is great value - Naomi I just don’t get.

Just listening to the end of the race

Ted "they are crossing the pitlane and dont realise Occon still has to pit"

Croft in school teacher mode "Its in the regulations Ted, that your not allowed to climb the fence on the pit wall"

Croft once again shows he really dislikes Ted.

I'm pretty certain that that feeling is reciprocated by pretty much everyone who has to work with the oaf. Especially love it when Ant Davidson gets stuck in.

Looks like they are trying to force another lady into the team as well, which is fine, but I find her voice more grating than a cheese grater biggrin

Sky F1 team is terrible atm, worst it has ever been IMO, sooner T.Kravitz in particular gets the boot the better !!
