EJ is better this week, not so argumentative. If he forgot his line of coke or whatever he prepares himself with previously then all the better for it. :up:
Bias on the part of sports commentators is so often in the eye/ear of the beholder, I find.Quote:

The thing that gets me is that him, Brundle, the pit guys always refer to the wrong car! I have a TV feed in front of me and I assume they do too, so why the mistake? They often seem to miss things that the viewers pick up on.
We were sitting here with three screens and managed to pick up on a lot of stuff that the commentators missed. I ended up with TV audio and was quite surprised how often they didn't seem to know what was going on.
Everything else was - as usual - excellent.
No complaints here!
I think some of you are too picky. DC and EJ are great, Martin and John get on quite well, and the services rendered by the BBC are phenomenal. Can only get better by every race.
another good coverage by the beeb.
Interesting though on what coulthard said, I dont seem to remember his brakes failing in Bahrain in 2003. (It was 2004)
apart from that very good, except from the pink shirt clash betwenn DC and JH!
Agree completely. After putting up with the ITV shambles for so long, we ought to be grateful that this standard of coverage is available to us, never mind asking for more.Quote:

Sometimes the commentators don't seem to have a clue what's happening but much better than ITV.
It would be good to have Ant and big Ben on the team but no worries from me :)
I was embarrassed listening when Brundle and Legard didn't know the difference between the Prime and Option tyres (the harder compound is always the "Prime", FTR - the McLaren team radio told Hamilton the Prime was a second-a-lap slower than the Option, twice, slowly and clearly, and asked him if he wanted the Option... and Brundle took it that the Prime was the super-soft, and went on to a long discussion based on the medium being faster. It wasn't until after Hamilton had actually made his stop, 15 minutes+ later, and come out with the green-striped tyres that they realised the mistake). I can understand them perhaps missing a detail on-track, or some of the more esoteric terminology, but that's pretty basic...
[After that, I tried to change to the 5L commentary, but it wasn't available with the main picture feed on Freeview because the snooker was on...]
