I think Sky Deutschland also cover it, but I was quite dissapointed with the coverage! I've seen both Spanish and Italian broadcasts of F1 too and I have to say the BBC beats all 3 of them by miles. So don't complain, you lot are spoiled! ;)

No, it is our brothers in Germany who are spoiled!

Lovely to share the commentary with so many racing drivers today. Thanks to Ant and Karun and to Martin Brundle who genuinely popped in.....

"...genuinely popped in.." or the BBC seeing how they'd work together ;)

They worked together very well, I'd say :D

:D
OK, so who would we like them to get in to cover the Friday practices, when Crofty moves up to the main job?

I was listening on the radio and I thought the same.

A broken handle on the TV commentary box the OFFICIAL REASON.

Yer Right

It seemed in Quali that Brundle (and Legard to a point) were making a real effort to lift their excitment levels, maybe to prove to the BBC he is still into it.

if a new commentator comes in next year maybe Brundle wants to start refreshed as for me today he seemed far more chirpy than recent races.

Maybe the spell in the 5live box on Friday gave him a new lease of life.

Here's hoping.

Dunno what drugs you took but Q3 was thrilling right down to the final laps.

Yer I know I agree, but before even in exciting moments Legard and Brundle this year have seemed a less than pumped up and I thought yesterday they finally reacted as the action demanded. :)
