Wonder if has anything to do with that sponsorship deal his team had with a chinese broadcaster a few years back...  |
Having happened again in 2012, care to elaborate? They didn't even address the fact he wasn't there.

He was there though wasn't he?
I'm sure I remember him spouting nonsense about Raikkonen on the post race forum. (He claimed that all the places he lost at the end where all due to him loosing concentration and ignoring the fact that his tyres had clearly gone)

Did the awful 'Shouty Crofty' really have to give away the score of the Man U v Everton game during the F1 coverage?
Twat!

Not really, I knew the score. But it's the principle.
Must ensure I tweet him the next West Ham result |

Take the point about the footy, it's not something I ever recall before.
However, as a Manchester City fan, it pleased me. |

Apart from Brundle and the choose your view Sky really isn't very good is it.
Damon isn't exactly incisive and that Lazenby chap is annoying as hell. Ant is wasted and that girl is as ridiculous as she is pointless.

I would have loved to have been in the script meeting when they explained the concept of exhaust geometry to her
It's trying too hard to be 'high-tech' and modern and it really doesn't have to. Their coverage of the cricket is outstanding because it's a load of old cricketers talking about cricket and their features aren't designed to advertise the sport, rather enhance the peripheral knowledge/interest around the sport.
That's what F1 needs - people who know about the sport talking about the sport to people who also know about it. Not "Look! These cars are really fast and really expensive!" for an hour and a half.
I also think Brundles beginning to find Croft a little annoying, especially with his inability to distinguish drivers. |
