F1 commentry

Leggard I think it is, who's in the box with Martin, is it me, or can he not say the word "FORMULA" Fairly important when your commentating on F1!

At least Martin talks more than the first few GPs. Jonathan gets a little over excited some times and IMHO fails to see the bigger picture.

That said, Eddie Jordan is a PITA. I nearly hailed a tirade of expletives during qualifying this evening - managed to hold back when I saw my four year old staring at me with a perplexed look on his face as I was about to shout at the TV again!

I think Eddie Jordan is tv gold!! Imagine how dull and boring it would be if we had 2 David Coulthard types instead. With Eddie and DC i think they have a good balance. But as for Jonathon Leggard, he doesn't seem to know what hes talking about most the time, does anyone know what he's done before??

I agree, we only need Brundle to comentate, he is pretty clued up with how its all panning out, the other random doesn't even have a clue about pit-stops... though he might be OK next year

[poopers]

Yep tired of hearing Leggard saying “round the corner up / down the hill”, and his constant shock that cars with heaver fuel loads (Button) are slower than those without (Barrichello).

I reckon it should be Brundle and Ben Edwards commentating.

Brundle / Anthony Davidson, he is brilliant on the praccy sessions comentry

Not bothered with Leggard for ages, I switch to Croft and Davidson on the red button as soon as the commentary starts before the race. Only problem is that it keeps on going over to football or cricket scores every so often - even then there's always the CBBC commentary.


Borrowed this from another forum - you can almost hear Leggard as you read it!


"Kovalainen there.What can this man do? On a charge. Battle has been joined. Is it going to be good enough? Over the hill. Off the track now. Into the gravel trap. That man. Kovalainen. Out of the session. That's not what he wanted."

It needs 2 comentaters while one is talking brundle would be looking at the data screens to give us the facts.
I would really like to see Murrray Walker back for the last race. Say what you want about him but HE is MR FORMULA 1 its not the same without him.

He's 86 now though Unfortunately i just don't see how he could do it at that age.... not live anyway.

I think Davidson is awesome too, in fact yeah Ben Edwards is also really good - i watched the Practise session on Saturday and thought they were a really good combination

I love Brundle's commentary but agree Leggard isn't the best.... Even I feel like i spot things way before he has - Brundle is always spot on though, glad the BBC gave him a job and also got rid of Mark Blundell haha.

I agree with that, but I would prefer silence right now while Brundle checks data instead of that Murry wanna-be.
