Interesting comment from Brundle a few races back when he said that yes they get the same feeds but his monitor was so tiny he couldn't make something out that was clear as day on the 19" TV my mum had in her kitchen (I'd been banished in there as she gets even stroppier than I do when her favourite Britney isn't doing well)Quote:

Ditto. He was rubbish. When Webber took Rosberg out and Rosberg was walking into the paddock Leggard completely got his name wrong, he said it was Button or Hamilton or someone else :crazy:Quote:

Then there was the time he said that a driver had STOPPED!!!!!! And because he wasn't talking about what we could see on the screen you had NO fricking idea whether their engine had blown up, their gearbox had packed it in or whether they were just making a routing pitstop. It was a routing piststop but for a good few seconds I had no idea wtf was going on.Quote:

Today sealed it for me - they've got to get rid of Legard next year. Absolutely hopeless, I could keep track of what's going on better than him.
you were not the only one.Quote:

It's frustrating to listen to Legard, almost made we switch to Dutch broadcast with commercials!
Also, McLarens 'Mission Control' (sounds like a 90's eurodance pop group) feature was pointless, but at least they've tried. It also made me think how F1 is wasting a lot of money on more or less unnecessary things, I mean do they really need 15 people (or more) in that room?
I found it interesting to see the kind of set up that McLaren have away from the usual stuff that we see, I hadn't realised quite what a large operation each race was.
And yes Legard was extra rubbish today, he really didn't have much of a clue about what was happening.
I think Legard's clearly taken all the criticism onboard. He was sounding over enthusiastic when some of the backmarkers crashed and he was trying to overegg Petrov's crash (I'm sorry, it was not that big).
The only problem is, it's just not natural for him. I hope somebody new comes in for next year
When you lot had to do the big switch from BBC One to Two, what would have been on BBC One that was so important that it simply couldn't be shifted?
