Who's Watching the Race on the BBC?

[Chrisgr31]

So as tghe title asks, who's watching it on the BBC? I have managed to avoid finding out the result and now settled down for the afternoon.

Eddie Jordan is here and apparently wasnt here yesterday as it was St Patricks day. What an excuse!

[Chrisgr31]

Seem to have more of them doing the grid walk. Yet another interview with Button. Maybe he like the BBC!

Eddie talking to Domenicali.

"It's not good enough, is it?"

[Chrisgr31]

Think I will get used to these highlights, on to the warm up lay 8 minutes in!
Race under way 12 mins in.

Hmm.. Not sure on the commentator.

Race distance is something like 90 minutes or so, so they don't need to do much cutting. Hopefully they'll leave most of the analysis to the Forum so we get more of the cars going round.

No worries about missing bits of the race whilst they repeat the start numerous times!

Same here. I think I prefer Ben's commentary over Crofty's.

Me too.

[Marc W]

Another one here who is watching both!

[Eric Mc]

Picking up a few different things to the Sky boys.

[Marf]

I think I'll probably end up watching both when Sky have the live race, and just BBC when they have the live race too.

Looking forward to the Forum.

I think he's abit much for me. I liked Brundles laid back commentating.

Marginally better but yet another shouty commentator, forcing MB/DC to raise their voices to be heard. Shame these two muppets transferred from radio to TV as both are ill suited.

Sky have paired him with a "shouty man" too.
