Croft has to go

[Adrian W]

Why does Croft invent ridiculous statistics

Does anyone find his voice extremely fatiguing?

As a hifi buff it minds me of how cheap speakers driven into distortion are more fatiguing to listen to than better quality units, for identical sound levels.

Yep. He's an Amstrad.

I think Lazenby is a lot better than he was, he’s learnt about F1 and doesn’t ask stupid questions (in the main) anymore unlike Croft. And bearing in mind what’s going on in his ear (watch the upload Jake Humphrey posted of what’s going on in his ear) and the chaotic nature of people turning up for interviews, I think he’s OK.

Brundle, Ted, Karun and Ant are good, Button is still learning the game, Hill’s average and Jonny’s only really any good for a bit of fun. And Rachel’s miles better than fashion conscious Natalie.

Agreed. He's a lot better now. I thought he was dick to begin with, trying too hard to imitate Jake Humphry's style.

You can hear the Crofty gradually deflate whenever Hamilton sails off in to a lead. And the blare goes out of his voice.

A big storm took down my 4G internet stream at the start of the race yesterday, so we ended up watching the C4 show last night.

An entertaining show is exactly what C4 provides. The whole production is slick and well planned and presented. Jaques does have the benefit of overdubbing some comments, but i don't really understand why some want him replaced. He can keep calm when not much is happening but can up the pace as, and when, required.

Another race spoilt by you screaming, please Sky sack him

Pinkham is also hard to watch. Utterly bland and every cliche in the book. I'm sure she wasn't this bad years ago (though not a patch on Louise Goodman who was brilliant).

Brundle too not a fan of Hammy.

He likes Seb

Actually thought the race TV director did a worserer job today.

When crofty is dissing your ability to do your job and has a point you need to just go lob yourself in the harbour really

Pinkham, and she is dreadful.

Not a patch on Rachel Brookes either, who at least is less concerned with her image and more with F1.
