Which is probably an indicator why the entire production needs a major overhaul and revamp. If the forced ditzy reporting from the female contingent isnt demeaning enough, there are too many in-jokes, too much fluff and too much focus on the same team(s) and drivers. They could probably start with a reshuffle of the commentary team.

Red Bull front row lockout, McLaughlin back in 7th. Gotta feel for Scotty, he's fighting a lone hand without a team mate to take points or grid spots off the opposition.

The two blondes are given the same lame and ditzy jobs which most females are given in motorsport which is often demeaning to them professionally, and the two in the booth spend too much time focused on the same people, teams and in jokes. The support card is sterile, and the whole production is stale and past its used by date. There's enough commentators there to at least shuffle them around to see who's the better fit. |

The 'blonde pieces' have names champion.
Moving on from wahhhs about the girls, Fabian Coulthard must be in the fast lane to being fired. He won a race a few rounds ago but has little else to show this year. He desperately needs a string of podiums. |

Can you imagine trying to get men in the commentary booth of the netball? It'd never happen because try and find a bloke that knows the ins and outs of netball? Yet we get stuck with a Barbie Doll who doesn't know a driveshaft from a crankshaft. Mind you with the corporate netball leagues etc there's probably a fair number of blokes who do know the netball deal. Surely there's some women out there who know motorsport, so why do we have to put up with one of the drivers' bit's of fluff? She's not even a looker!!
I don't mind Jess Yates so much because she asks intelligent questions and doesn't point out the blindingly obvious, and doesn't sound like a pre-programmed robot. |

Coulthard will be gone season end. Chaz might be looking good for a drive at DJR/Penske. |

Maybe you pair should give them back their handbags, instead of swinging them around in here?

Contract expires?? Since when has fulfilling your contract has been a binding issue in sport these days! I wouldn't be surprised if he has a 'performance clause' somewhere in his existing one?

Chaz would be a good fit, again if contract obligations aren't a problem and they usually aren't. Chances are they already have the problem sorted. Then again they could also be happy with Fabians performance. |

Meantime, the house of 8’s are back, smacking them.. again..
And the Penskes can’t seem to convert to race wins. And the retiring fella still has his race craft... |

He's had a pretty rough weekend.
One can only wonder when he'll catch a break? |
