Legard isnt the best but does make some amusing mistakes. Loved it in malaysia (race or quali cant remember) when he said:
'and here comes Jenson Button. You can tell its Jenson Button because of the yellow top of his hat'
:rotflmao: when he fluffs he isnt as funny as Murray, but I think with Murrray we laughed with him but when Legard fluffs we laugh at him. Legard is alright, but hell never be as good as Murray.
Mike Gascoyne subbing for Eddie Jordan this weekend. Good timing as well!
What's happened to Eddie? Decked by DC?Quote:

To be honest, while Murray's gaffs have gone down into legend, in reality they were actually very few and far between. I watched a re-run of the 1987 British GP recently, and Murray was on top of his game throughout, with the cameras mostly trained on the dominant Williamses he was giving accurate, frequent, run-downs of the order, interesting soundbites and background information, as well as the gap between Mansell and Piquet in the closing stages of the race (the TV timing and scoring, while better than it is today, was still not up to the standard of say the live formula1.com timing & scoring).
Murray's mistakes, when they came, were usually due to fits of excitement and passion rather than actual bumbling incompetence.
Just been listening to Eddie Jordan's musical offerings on BBC Radio 2 (thanks, Chris Evans) and can understand why he might be shying away from the public's gaze right now. I was distinctly underwhelmed.Quote:

BBC's pre-race is fair (I'm not impressed with EJ so far), the race coverage is fine, but the reduced after-race is a big loss.
I don't understand why, in this digital age, that TSN can't PAUSE the BBC feed during commercials and pick it up where we left off??!!
Reduced after race? The post-race show is as long as the race now (90 minutes).
