Don't need to so much when we have THE idiot in the commentary box. Had to laugh (again) at Croft getting all excited in Q3 about Perez' lap in the 26s - announcing it like it was the first we'd seen that fast - until Martin pointed out that it was slower than a couple of the 26s laps in Q2.
Good to have Danica back - good American connection for the races in North America. |

C4 had an ex Indy car driver co commentating. His delivery was in sharp contrast to DC and Alex J.

I thought he did OK, even though his name meant nothing to me.....

No, I confess I've forgotten his name. Michael (something)?

Was it not James Hinchcliffe?
I switched to Sky comms. |

Yes, it was the Hinch. Thought he did a good job, seemed to be able to read the race well.

Ah was it? That's great! Anyone who views the Indycar coverage will be aware of his quality. He and TBell make a good analyst pairing alongside Leigh Diffey.

This may be Geo-locked but there was a feature on Jennie Gow on the BBC One show this evening. The amazing recovery so far and the struggles she continues to have.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...-show-22052023 The intro to the feature begins at 1:30 |

Yeah, saw that last night. Very pleased to see the progress she has made. She's obviously a very determined lady, and with great family support. |

Thanks to Ch4 for showing the 2019 film of the history of the Monaco GP, before qualifying tonight. Not seen it before, very interesting.

I enjoyed it. But the footage of the Bandini accident, even though I’ve seen it before, remains horrific.

That's not really anything to do with the broadcasters though.
Sorry to nitpick but if we're going to criticise safety standards, let's do that in a separate thread! |

Donington Park has a bronze of Williamson outside the circuit, all thanks to Tom Wheatcroft, who helped bring on his short lived F1 career. Could have been one of the greats, especially after his successful F3 career

I thought the new camera positions and use of the helicopter were great.Brought the circuit alive.Wish F1 had taken over from Monaco TV a long time ago.
