I heard him saying sorry but I didnt know what he he said earlier - thats a real shocker of an error to make.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

If he was to get the boot for that comment he would probably get a job at Talksport.

 

[gethinceri]

What he said was probably the type of thing that's said off camera, the rest of the team probably cringed as he said it, thinking "not when we're on air, NOT when we're on air!"
It was a reference to the bends on the roads above the city and Princess Grace's death.

I have always found the guy to be terrible, he just looks out of sync compared to everyone else, does't have a clue what he's talking about.

I thought Jake Humphrey was bad....

 

[Jos the Boss]

I love Jake, he's very likeable

 

[mjo]

And he knows his stuff, and the drivers seem to want to be interviewed by him.

[Jos the Boss]

Jaques Villenueve joins Sky F1 coverage for Montreal...

 

[Slyboogy]

Oh god not him, his column in the F1 Racing mag is 90% of the time laughable.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I had the same reaction, only i didnt know about the racing mag

Hold on Sky viewers, you might have to suffer adverts from 2013 onwards. Apparantly Sky's commitment to have ad-free races was only in 2012.

I think that Sky will shove the F1 coverage behind a sports pack, and not have it free to HD viewers without the sports pack next year.

 

[Brogan]

That was already made clear no-FIAt-please.
It was to be expected that adverts would make an appearance sooner or later.

Still better than not showing the races at all.

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Sorry I was unaware of this. Still you when spending hundreds of pounds each year to watch F1 it must sting.

 

[gethinceri]

I am not spending hundreds of pounds per year to watch F1, I am paying that to watch dozens of channels including F1 HD. It's worth the money in my house. I would honestly prefer not to pay the licence fee and not have access to any BBC broadcasts.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Boycot Sky, Crofty called me a lady He read my tweet though!

 

[gethinceri]

Well, he does think your weather predictions are bollocks like the rest of us do, so it's not really that surprising.

 

[mjo]

Boycot Sky, Crofty called me a lady He read my tweet though!

What did you ask him?

 

[Jos the Boss]

Something about cutting the last chicane to gain a speed advantage on your qually lap, what would happen, I had an idea it wouldn't count, but i was just trying to get on TV again!

 

[Galahad]

I always thought "Believe In Better" sounded more an article of faith than a corporate promise.
