Easily the best sport commentators they have. GoldenColt said: ImDyingYouIdiot said: http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2015/01/27/fans-worldwide-reveal-cost-watching-f1-2015/Interesting read up.

Moderator f1since08 60 Posted June 9, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2016 Martin Brundle is missing from Sky this weekend due to Le Mans commitments, so for the first time since Hungary 2008 he won't be behind the microphone. I don't know who is replacing him but I'd expect Anthony Davidson to be first choice as he and Crofty worked together on Radio 5 Live.Both Brundle and Davidson will also be missing in Baku, so the mighty Paul di Resta will probably commentate on the race. Joy of joys.And Crofty has now confirmed it'll be Paul di Resta. Oh boy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted June 9, 2016 I don't mind Paul Di Resta. He usually has some pretty insightful stuff to offer and it'll be nice to have him commentating on a proper competitive session rather than the usual FP1 and FP2 sessions.At least it isn't Johnny Herbert.

Mexicola 10 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Paul Di Resta's commentary isn't to bad I think, better him than anyone else on the team in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buttonfan 5 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Actually Brundle will be away this weekend because of a surgery or something I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MATT 23 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Di Resta is fine in my books, especially when you compare him to Herbert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I can't stand Di Resta. He's more boring than a toothpick and only has one emotional tone to his voice - depressed. You wouldn't know that he supposedly has a passion for the sport. It's going to be a painful weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator f1since08 60 Posted June 12, 2016 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2016 Well the commentary wasn't bad. Crofty made a few noticeable mistakes today but cock up of the day goes to Paul di Resta for thinking you could run softs throughout the race. He's a bit monotone as well tbh, I hope Brundle is back for Baku. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JulioMassa 17 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Well guys, I love your problems in the UK. Who will be behind the microphone - is it Di Resta, or Brundle, or Herbert, or anyone else. Here in Poland we have two commentators and that's all. I would love to have that kind of problem, because we don't have any choice. It's these two guys every weekend.

Moderator f1since08 60 Posted August 12, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 12, 2016 I've been reading an article on the coverage rights of the Olympics (if anyone is interested, this one: http://www.smh.com.au/comment/smh-editorial/iocs-tight-grip-on-games-threatens-their-value-20160809-gqocjr.html) and, whilst it has nothing to do with the F1 tv rights, one of the closing quotes is very relevant."the danger for the IOC, I suggest, and for sporting bodies that are going down the same path, is that by increasingly enclosing and walling off something that draws on the emotional energy generated by shared experiences, it threatens the value of the thing it owns."Bernie should take note.
