Even Brundle tried to stop Croft spewing rubbish about Alonso being happy not. Being on the front row, yet he just keeps talking

He’s so bad there are now two threads on how much he’s ruining F1.

The stupidest thing he did yesterday is quote a famous poem about death and mortality at the start of qualifying, because the first line contains the word night, and the qualifying was happening at night.

‘Do got go gentle into this good night…’

It just shows the depth of his thinking does not extend beyond the entirely superficial.

……but he is very good at promoting SKY Q.

Presumably that was the deciding factor for not getting rid of him along with the other dross presenters.

Nico or Jenson are all we need in in the pitlane. I feel the Ant Davidson and Brundle could provide a perfectly adequate commentary to the race. The action takes place in front of your eyes, so very little extra input is actually required. Croft is simply a distraction from that enjoyment.

I continue to defend Crofty.

But “the old switcheroo” makes me want to chop him up into small pieces……

And the Commentator of The Race prize goes to..........CROFTY
Special mention of the first lap screaming Banshee, not one, but two, Switcheroos, plus of course the multitude of totally banal statistics!
Where would we be without his added value to every F1 race?

Christ all bloody mighty! I didn't think it was possible that someone like Croft could single handedly ruin my enjoyment of a sport. But he's worse than ever!
The hysterical, childish shouting along with the name-dropping and the endless, utterly pointless stats, have just caused me to dump Sky and go for an alternative feed with commentators who are an absolute joy to listen to.

I will miss Nat Pinkham, Ant Davidson, Martin Brundle, Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button and just a very small amount of the Sky pre-show b0ll0x. Lewis on the lie detector was magic!

I won't miss, Lazenby, Croft, Schiff and some of the other alsos that they wheel out from time to time. And frankly, without all the pre-show guff, I'll regain a whole chunk of time to do other good stuff.

Keep up the pressure chaps, but I'm done.

Yeah, most of what he says doesn't bother me, but you know "the old switcheroo" will be mentioned every time 2 cars remotely close to each other take a slightly different angle into a corner.

He is just unbearable now. I cancelled my Sky F1 before the start of last season, partly because of the clusterfk that was Abu Dhabi and partly because of this clown.

I watched YouTube highlights last year, yesterday was so bad I had to result to watching it on mute!

I think someone needs to tell Croft what "Side by Side" means. He seemed to be shouting it a lot but the cars were no where near to being overtaken.

His idea seems to be this



Everyone eles probably thinks this

Can anyone persuade David Croft to Tweet something very political and left-wing? It seems to be working in the football.

It seems to me that some folk watch F1 blindfolded with Crofty’s voice on loud speaker. If you can see what’s going on and understand F1, one doesn’t have to take what he says as gospel. There’s brundle and the trackside crew plus one’s own view of the racing. Crofty for me is is just back ground noise. Sometimes I agree with him others I don’t, but he never gets in the way of me watching the show.
