He's done various things, was with WTCC/Eurosport for a long time, but has been doing TCR (touring cars) more recently. He does production stuff too, he's previously worked on the Dakar coverage.
Trivia for those who don't know, he is the son of Bob Constanduros, the F1 podium announcer and former "Chaaammmmppppaaaaggnnnnne" caller.

Is the the corner Meeke went off on? That a flat right from a slow left. A nothing corner. He is following clean lines. Too many off Meeke mistakes look the same. Citroen have a rear torque bias homolgated, every other team 50/50. Im starting to feel sorry for him. In many ways Mikkelson pace is proving this car is not easy to drive. Maybe Meeke is making it look better than it is. Why would Mikkelson want to continue to drive this car.. it could damage his reputation.

Looking at the Highlights I have to say Breen's issue is also a little bit his fault.
The stone was not in the middle of the road, but rather on the outside and most drivers cut the corner. Yes he was following lines of other drivers but since the stone is clearly visible also on Ogier's onboard it must have also been visible in the recce.
Anyway questions for today:
- How much faster will Ogier get?
- Are Paddon and Østberg able to stay near top?
- Will Lappi and Hanninen keep the pace without that much road position advantage?
- Will Mikkelsen drive faster (even with worse road position)?
M-Sport/ Ford have been testing using a 'simulator' in the USA. They say its helped improve the Puma Rally1 car, especially for tarmac. Does anyone know what this simulator could be like ? Story...
