Default Who's up for the F1 then?

Two observations;

why are they all wearing the same watches? didn't think the BBC would allow thatsort of advertising.

Secondly, I might give Leigh McKenzie a bit of finger.

Chop

Only a bit of a finger? That's a bit stingy

It's all a bit of a mutual jerk-off I find....

Shame for Lewis with the 3rd gear issue but dont think he would have got past Alonso anyway. I think Mclaren can wave goodbye to both championships now as barring Redbull taking each other out one of them have the title and lets hope its Webber.

What happened with Jake? Leigh McKenzie was out of her depth I thought.

Lol my pleasure.
Picture went for a mo, then returned with track only audio, so they switched to the alternative commentary which was far more charged with excitement.

It has to sound lively because the words paint the pictures!

Crofty and Davidson are great. If it wasn't for Martin Brundle I wouldn't bother with BBC1 commentary.

They commentate on the practice sessions and its infinitely more interesting and funny.

I personally dont mind the commentary martin brundle comes out with some classics however, he blamed Lewis for his DNF on last race at Singapore. NO...that would be Webbers fault, Lewis was clearly past on his overtake and Webber saw red and made a stupid lunge back. Very unlucky for Lewis since it was a front wheel vs rear and rear normally comes out on top. T hink thats Lewis,s chances fekked now for this season.

When Legard goes, they should replace him with Crofty.

It was a good race to watch, good bit of overtaking too. Hamilton did well in spite of his problems.

I get fed up of Legard suddenly winding himself up when he gets to what he think he is exciting and at the same time demonstrating his knowledge about something which is quite irrelevant. How I wish we still had Murray Walker. Martin Brundle does his best to bring it all back to sanity at least.

I thought the girl did pretty well, just needs a little bit more experience to polish it up, but she brought a bit of relaxation to the essential information, and EJ was much more polite for once!

Glad you've cleared the audio glitch bit up...I thought my sky+ had thrown a wobbly and started to record the red button commentary..
