    So only when you discriminate a certain population a fine is appropriate? Get a grip

    Came back to watching the rally through Firefox on my PC and I noticed they took the 'No Commentary' option, anybody here has that option?
    Only you know your true potential.

    Nope, i noticed it was gone since Sardinia at least.

    For a couple stages i switched to japanese because i couldn't stand the nonsense. Bringing the likes of Kris and others really shows how lacking some of the commentator pairings are... They should never put any two of PK, JD and BW together.

    You're right, NO ONE should ever be fined for speech.
    But more power to you for standing up for the precious feelings of massive corporations. Stunning and brave.

    Julian Porter is the only competitive commentator in the WRC crew. The rest are just talking heads. They say when they see. Becs is in motorsports for like 20, 30 years? and she has no idea about technical basics. Also questions at the end of the stages are most of the time cringe and stupid AF.

    Likely difficult to get people in Kenya, it makes a long quarantine for Brits.
    There’s no Molly, no Seb Marshall or Östberg or Meeke…

    Indeed, I like Julian a lot. Meeke, Östberg, Marshall were priceless additions imo. It's ok to have a talking head as you say to do the play by play commentary and ask questions on behalf of the audience to the expert. But when you put two of them together it's a disaster.

    Becs is not a bad commentator but she's got to be paired with someone like Meeke or Porter. I thought she worked well with Meeke actually. PK is a good presenter/voiceover but is lost in a live commentary situation. JD i think is forcing a certain style too much and lacks actual substance, it's like he's trying to hype up for TV but it comes off as fake, at least for me.

    And yeah the stage end reporters need to think a bit, sometimes they don't even ask a question...
