rofl



Beginning titles were amazing.

Nice entrance for Suzie but it will be tough for her to be as good as Jake.

Not that tough. Jake was good, but in his last year so so full of himself he almost disappeared up his own arse.

The Beeb's new title sequence is a straight rip-off of Sky's, with historical footage of the old champions.

0/10 for imagination.

So this morning BBC1 showed the remainder or qualifying and then - just as the actual race started on the other side of the world - ended the broadcast, electing to show it this afternoon.

What a f**king mess of a broadcast event. Shame on you BBC.

BBC bdS!!!!!!!

I watched quallys yesterday and listened to a presenter saying: We will see you all in the morning for those getting up at 5.15 am which would be a signal to me ( yes, I should have checked) that it is on the beeb as per normal.

So here i sit with the right royal hump.

The BBC have had it, they are doomed. fk them and fk their licence fee.

Watched qualifying in it's entirety on the BBC iPlayer this morning at 8.30 am. All there - no problems.

Perry was very useless and dull as dish water.

Truly out of her depth at the moment.

Similar to the race last year that was BBC highlights with just DC and Lee while Jake was at the Olympics (Canada?). Suzi did a good job, once the BBC live races start and EJ is there, things will get more lively hehe . For the highlights shows where it's all pre recorded, I can't see why they can't get Ben Edwards or Gary Anderson with them more.

I thought that Suzi Perry did well, and that it worked well with DC, particularly liked her comment about no flowery shirts at which point DC oh they'll be along later in the season.

DC seemed to be doing more than he did last year. Also I suspect that with Suzi they are certain to get an interview every race with Vettel!

Yeah because I'm sure he's gagging to talk to someone in their 40s as if she's the fittest thin he could get.

Indeed. And to be fair. Lee is (probably) younger and gets far far better interviews out of Seb. Simply because she's been in the paddock a long time.

Suzy Perry is a lazy, unimaginative appointment IMO. As if the BBC couldn't think of anyone else and figured that "men of a certain age" would like her.

She's not very good. Been promoted to something way beyond her abilities IMO.

I cannot believe that somewhere, there is not some fresh, new , whip-smart and sassy person out there who they could not have hired instead.

It is all so predictable.

Lee Mckenzie is much, much, much better when it comes to experience and respect from drivers and team members around the grid.

Frankly, most drivers and team staff have no idea who Suzy Perry is and are probably wondering how this bland, anonymous person got the BBC job.
