Ok
so heres my verdict after two races.
So in no order:-
Brundle - As much as i hate to say it, i hated him for ditching BBC, however he is F1 for me, knowledgable, unphased by celebs and also he has not changed his style at all from BBC which for me is a good thing. still needs to tidy a few things like the silly circuit guide which is poor to the old BBC one so for now BRUNDLE =9/10
Simon Lazenby - He's actually ok, trying too hard to be Jake Humphreys in fact his dress code is straight from Jake Humphries own wardrobe, even copying the stance and the ipad waving. Not all bad though and he does seem to be able to focus the conversation and holds his own with the F1 royalty. still hard to know how long term but so far i will give him a 7 /10
Damon Hill Damon Damon Damon............ Probably the weakest link of them all, The guy is a bafoon, he has all the charisma of a wet fish. He stands there like a gormless melon waiting to be fed lines, he has no understanding of anything, he argues on stupid points, perosnally if Sjy have the chance, bin him and let Johhny herbert takeover his position full term or just get DC fromt he BBC. Annoys me just watching him, ruins it all, i even hate the way he can;t hold the microphone in a relaxed manner. So Damon gets a big fat zero from me Damon = 0/10
Gerogie Thompson it works for me, not sure why as she has a real strange shape and she's a bit of a midget, side on profile she has a huge arse and bit bingo wing on the arms, but i really want to bang the sh-t out of her, so she has the seired affect, a little like Suzi Perry used to do on the Moto Gp rounds. Strange one for eye candy and she probably looks fitter than she really is as she's in a male dominated environment. 8/10
Ted Kravitz Simple message this one, Ted nmeeds to be told to wind his neck in a little bit, seems to be overplaying his role a little bit here, keeps turning up mid interview on practice and Quali and really thinks he's the bee's knees now. Ted needs to be put back in his box and left in the pit lane a bit more. He also seems to want to have a geek off all the time with David croft over Sauber wins, really stood out as he trys to make out he is more knowledgable than others. So wind your neck in Ted, back in the pits and stay there and only come out when requested by the commentary team, for trying to makeout you were related to Lenny Kravitz at oz GP you get a 3/10
Natalie Pinkham ok she gets a point for being shaggable, however she's pretty shite, she keeps asking stupid questions, even Kimi yesterday looked confused by her. In my opinion she needs to be replaced by Leigh mackenzie, she looks ok and knows her stuff. Pinkham, easy on the eye but thats your lot, 3/10
David Croft knoweldgable, seems to work well with brundle, however my critic of him last year when he did practice sessions online for BBC are still the same " DAVID YOU ARE NOT ON THE RADIO" keeps getting excited about things that have not happened and forgets we can see that its not happening, ie "He's going for it and he looks to take him into the corner, oooh is he going to...." when we can see that at the point of him saying "going for it" he stopped the move. so relax a bit more and just do the commentary, also needs to polish up his knowledge on technicals i would say, geeks will spot he does not know enough on certain areas. but overall it works with brundle, so i'd give him 7/10
Anthony Davidson Pk Anthony, yes you drove an F1 car ( pretty shite as we remember) so in my opinion you are le mans driver more than an F1 driver. Secondly, skypad, great, why the feck are you jumping round like a retard trying to make amazing moments out of stuff all. Sorry but i really do not see the point of " Ant" he just detracts from Georgie, in fact i hate the stupid sky pad, it really is a stupid piece of crap and usually signifies a cup of tea for me. Bin this idiot 0/10
so overall, we are sitting at a 7 out of 10 for the whol coverage, i love the after race coverage, its a bit like the F1 forum, nice and relaxed. Sky's access seems to be above an beyond that of the BBC's last year, they seem to have a lot more clout. Still expensive for what it is. bin the Skypad, stop telling me its on sky HD blah blah blah, i know that as i am watching it.
As for the channel going forward, needs more race series, turn it into a motorsport channel and start showing me some bikes and tin top racign from around the world. They could do replays of World superbikes, british superbikes, BTCC, WTCC. They would get a lot more sign ups.
oh and get Goergie dancing for me.
Track 328i and some supercharged turbocharged skoda
