I though Schiff was pretty hopeless, then some bird called Ariana turned up on C4!

Presumably they are ....cheep.

FTFY

I do not keep up with the life and times of Mrs Wolff, so forgive me for not knowing her whereabouts,s last I heard her and Toto were having kids, there is nothing wrong with a mother wanting to be a mother, so what is wrong with presuming that? if she is doing that job fair enough.

She was also Team Principal for the Mercedes Formula-E team too. Hardly a stay at home mum.

Venturi Racing, not Mercedes.

Can't win sometimes can you mate, if you'd said she was running a Formula E team and she actually was a stay at home mum you'd be getting flak for instead! Like you've implied, both roles are as important as each other and nothing condesending in assuming one over the other.

[LukeBrown66]

Jim, if you had posted it there would be no flak, I have a target on my back for all sorts of reasons, it's why it is so much fun posting in the F1 section!

Be careful what you wish for. This weekend we've got the qualified experts Herbert and di Resta.

Indeed, I watched the whole thing with 'mute' engaged today.

[andygo]

Watched todays FP1 and FP2.
I can't really comment other than she is not the best for the job and especially out of the Sky F1 gene pool of presenters.. At least give Rachel Brooks a go instead.

She offers nothing, nothing at all other than a tick box. Her comments are a literal waste of time. But hey, got to be better than a GP race winner, not.

It’s become a fashion show with her…..

[anonymous-user]

They were talking about Hamilton racing with a piercing earlier and she mentioned that she herself raced with several piercings.

She mentioned her ears, belly button and then I felt she stopped herself from going any further.....

I am pretty sure she said something like "and some others" or similar....

Either way she is at least eloquent albeit does not appear to have much insight per se and does seem (to me at least) to mainly say obvious things...

Don’t think the rules are as strict in the VW fun cup.

She also mentioned when talking about piastri the "fact" that previous f3 and f2 first time winners had gone on to win the WDC in F1

a fact she completely made up.

[MissChief]

I’ve always got the impression she’s a Liberty plant into Sky as she does loads of content for F1 directly. She’s not terrible, but she’s also not great.

[andygo]

I initially thought she was hired directly from the Star Wars bar with her dress sense.

My wife and I watched the post qually show and you coud see that Nico was about to say something, but she was faster on the draw than him, but had nothing really to say. Bin her, she's annoying.

I like her.

I noticed that though - twice .

Nico was very chilled. In his head: "it's okay, I'm a famous, world champion F1 driver, and mega rich, you go ahead" .

I get the crofty thread - the bloke is super annoying, in spite of his knowledge gets so much wrong, and wakes me up with his shouting - but the anti Naomi brigade and thread I find odd.

Each to their own of course!

Me too

She’s a natural presenter, seems to get on with the other presenters & drivers and aside from Damon, Ant & Martin is the only team member with any sort of racing experience

I wonder why Rachel & Natalie dont have seperate threads though

Natalie can be a very good presenter, I just wish she wouldn't use every race as an evening dress fashion show and make it look like she's just trying to cop off with the drivers? Trying a bit too hard maybe?

As for Naomi, I like her, she's natural in front of the camera and doesn't seem at all phased by it all.
