FFS Jordan and Legard, it's Li-ut-zi, not Lewitsy!
Well done BBC, very nice of them to wait until after the end of the race before engaging the "technical difficulties" slide :)
there was a couple of technical moments today.
which Is strange, as most have been coming from south africa lately. still, we (or at least, I) didnt miss anything
Thankfully, they just replayed the opening segment before going live to that Peter Sauber interview which was a good move, meant we got to see EJ playing with the crowd again :laugh:Quote:

A more verbose commentator I can't quite think of. :\
For a few minutes yesterday I was reminded why I listen to 5LiveF1's excellent commentary over the tv pictures. My Sky box went kaput for a moment and while I was messing around trying to get it working again I had to put up with Legard.
There's a gulf in class between him and Crofy, and while I miss Brundle's insights the guests on 5LiveF1 make up for his absence. Paul de Resta, Gary Pafett, Anthony Davidson, Maurice Hamilton, Patrick Head, Jackie Stewart and others have provided great interest alongside Crofty, who is an enthusiastic, informed and interesting commentator.
If you can access 5Live I'd highly recommend their F1 coverage.
The screen went fuzzy 3 or 4 times for me during the race but I don't know if that was Sky or BBC.
At least we didn't cut to a break and miss England's goal like ITV.
Although I think this only affected the HD viewers.Quote:

I'm glad that I had 5 Live commentary on, from what I've been hearing here and elsewhere about Legard & Brundle's performance.
The few snatches I heard on the post-race forum seemed to have Legard in a world of his own, and Brundle bored senseless. The worst thing about JL is he keeps cutting accross Martin to the point where he doesn't even bother trying anymore.
There's clearly no chemistry between the two, whereas it's obvious that Crofty just gets along with whoever he's partnered with be it hs regular "sidekick" Anthony Davidson, or a guest such as Patrick Head or Paul Di Resta.
The BBC really need to take action over Legard, he's making me long for a return of James Allen!
