If he's bored, he should stop commentating for good. I won't miss him anymore. His commentary has been sub-par for several years now. IMO he should have quit when the rights went to Sky. His views as a driver who hasn't raced in a top-tier open-wheel series for 20 years now are totally irrelevant...

Also http://tv.eurosport.co.uk/tvschedule.shtml P.S. Don't knock bikes, the action can be truly breathtaking, as well as incredibly dangerous. |

Endurance racing no matter how many wheels is never that thrilling to watch for more than a few minutes at a time.

Looks like Sky have asked Vandoorne to join them for their race coverage tomorrow.

Hill and Herbert for the grid walks then....
EDIT: Unsurprisingly it's Paul Di Resta on co-commentary duties this weekend as confirmed by Crofty: https://twitter.com/croftyf1/status/740966888222658560 |

Sky Race Control, red button, option 7 - I'm sure that wasn't meant for broadcast

Sky Studios test card with an Alan Partridge soundalike engineer checking levels shouting "Goal, Goal, Goal!! -0dB indicated?, will try with limiter on. Goal!!! Goal!!" Now showing placeholder for Catalan Dragons v St Helens...
I can't even access Race Control at the moment. Just seeing an "Interactive services are not available" message.

Having qualifying and the race start at 18:30 UK would surely have been more preferred. |

It feels like FOM are more reluctant these days to move the timings around football compared to 5/10 years ago.

Should have dropped it back 30 mins to avoid the clash with the Cricket but not too late as that would clash with Baseball.

P.S. Don't knock bikes, the action can be truly breathtaking, as well as incredibly dangerous. Never really found bikes ever a good tv spectator sport, except sidecars, now they are great to watch. Cant say watching anything dangerous ever inspires me to watch. Sky sports news mentioned that Brundle will be at Le Mans from next week and will not be in Canada this weekend, not ill as someone had mentioned. perhaps it was a planned medical visit. Is he back racing then, not sure he has done much for a while. Hoping its herbert more. Do find di resta is ok but he waffles too much for me. Mind hes not doing too bad a job in qualy. |

I do like the angle on Grosjean's car, looks great when he's skimming the walls.

Sky coverage was terrible today. Why do they have to have interviews during qualifying sessions.

I'm disgusted, there's a rounders match on in the school nearby I wanted to watch, but now the F1's clashed so they can't. Typical FOM there... It's a ****ing disgrace.
