Someone should seriously tell him this could be really off-putting to new fans trying to get into the series.

I think I actually hope the two guys from the official ELMS stream will be on the WEC App Le Mans feed.
I often agree with his jabs against F1. Commentary isn't the place for that though. In commentary it comes across as an inferiority complex, yes. It's like a rugby commentator nervous about the challenge from soccer. He should confine his withering if not altogether off base criticism of F1 to his show. Sportscars stands entirely on its own two feet - or at least it should and his commentary should reflect that imo.
