BBC Formula One coverage – My thoughts
- Overall I’m pleased!
- That Leggard fella is terrible! Who is he anyway? And why is does he insist on cutting Martin Brundle off at any given opportunity?
- The tall lad presenting with Coulthard and Jordan is quite good. Excellent ad-lib abilities.
- Everytime the tall lad says “OK” I stand up and head to the kitchen to boil the kettle because I think an ad break is on the way.
- BBC’s computer game style intro is pants.
- The Chain by Fleetwood Mac brings back absolutely wonderful memories of sitting watching a race with my father many, many years ago. (Monaco ’86 immediately springs to mind and the Parmalat sponsored Brabhams.)
- David Coulthard is wonderfully informative.
- Eddie Jordan is not.
- Stefano Domenicali of Ferrari has a mighty sense of humour. (Claiming they deliberately set fire to Raikkonnen’s KERS system to wake him up!)
- Who the hell is this Leggard fella? He’s still talking and not making much sense?
- There’s some fella called something Leggard who keeps talking over Martin Brundle and he hasn’t a clue what he is on about.
- Lee McKenzie is totally underused, her accent is gorgeous!
And finally, and I never thought I would say this:
- Where is James Allen? Come back! All is forgiven!
Ryan bit the MC bullet today I see… a very very public figure at mc to go considering how long he has been there. I remember him from the Senna/Prost years in 91
I think McLaren are in damage limitation mode Eoin. He had been there since 1974!
