Not sure what happened to the driver interviews on the BBC website, but mine cut off as soon as Vettel started speaking German. Didn't get to hear Hammy or Alonso at all.

Legard was once again awful. So many mistakes. He's just mumbling, goes on and on and on and on with useless information. Driver X ahead of driver Y. But what can Z do? Is it going to be good enough? Down the hill (seriously, that 1 meter drop before s/f?) Háh!, there's the answer!'. Grr...

Which makes what he says seem all the more strange.


Somehow I got the impression. Nevermind then.


Yes well there is a standard you'd expect from the 'color commentator'. I don't think anything Kubica did in today's qualfiying says anything about whether he'd be in the Alonso and Hamilton league, I mean hasn't Hamilton made mistakes recently? It's just not up to standard.

I believe the 'down the hill'is meant to show that legard knows the track quite well.

The X-Factor style intro was absolutely awful. Apart from that it was a pretty decent show, enjoyed Jake's driving clip.
Legard was okay, only time he annoyed me was when he kept going on about Vettel being fastest in Q2 when he was the only one to have set a time!

I loved it!

But my favourite bit was EJ adamant that ferrari would try and get hamilton penalised as they don't want him complicating matters before changing his mind when someibody obviously pointed out hamilton on pole would be great for alonso.

he made his point, they the went to DC, jake then went back to EJ and said something like 'yes, so ferrari want hamilton out of the way'..and then EJ disagreed with him!! Completley classic, making a oint and then disagreeing with someone who echoes it!

Im surprised no one picked him up on it at the time, because a Hamilton win makes it very very difficult for a Red Bull driver to take the title.

Just watching the intro now - loved it, very tongue in cheek.

Loved the intro, was good!

I thought the intro was funny.

I don't think EJ, DC and Jake are very good at intepreting what's going on to be honest.

Very good at getting access to people and the inside scoop on stories but interpretation is not their strong point. Same obviously goes for Legard and more surprisingly Brundle has been a bit slow on the uptake with some things this year, macca's pit strategy in brazil for instance.

This. There's a reason why I don't watch ITV these days and they had to go and do that. What the hell is going through their minds? I'm missing the old BBC so much, they'd never do this crap.


Disagree. It's the same old rubbish punditry, the same old crappy music videos of season highlights with the 'Ledge' blaring away. And the Jake Humphrey reality TV segment =

Why are people so pissy at the coverage? I thought the X-Factor intro was a piss take and Jake's driving bit was good

Holly Samos is leaving the 5Live team. It was mentioned in last night's show.

I agree. Too many expert keyboard pundits with a lack of objectivity. There are bound to be errors and the odd cheesy set-piece, but we should be grateful as there is great pressure on the BBC to look at areas for savings. Surely we should be letting the Beeb know that we are keen for F1 coverage to continue. In a few years time it could be cricket!

Same!

They were quite obviously just having a laugh, to those with the sense of humour of a twig.

meh didnt like the intro, liked the driving thing with jake, wish they had more on the dragster tho

guy who did the intro is on my first against the wall list, along with legard, and the woman who does the property shows on ch4

Ah, you should have seen him on celebrity juice, he's a cool guy!

Yeah there were a few tweets about it too.

Does anyone know what this donkey sanctuary joke is ?

No but it's funnier not knowing

I haven't seen pics of Holly so maybe...

Not all the women that do property shows are that bad!

I believe it's to do with her wanting a nice ass

Hmm so it seems crofty put on twitter that Holly is retiring to run a donkey sanctuary must be a story behind it.

Either way, Murray was in on it on R5L last night

How good was FP2 with ant, croft and brundle?!! Brilliant!

Really loved the intro to the programme today too

OMG, is he really that stupid ?

amazingly it seems so....

The song by Alistair Griffin which you'll hear at the end of tomorrow's show has been specifically written for the F1, and as thus is currently an unreleased track:

AlistairGriffin Alistair Griffin
Tune in to the F1 tomorrow for a thrilling finish and an epic end..with a little song wot i wrote
5 hours ago

Just saw that, how he compares the two I don't know

Was that the guy from Fame Academy?

Yes.

I'm loving the gridwalk today!

Yeah, not cringe worthy at all.

Eddie and Jake talking over Whitmash and Horner conversation.

(facepalm)

Shut up you useless git.

I hope this is the last time I have to put up with this complete and utter fool that is Legard, seriously he has made **** all sense from the start his constant rude interruptions with total bullshit while shouting is just too much

"Trulli losing a bit of front wing"
"Rear wing"
"Either way it's a wing"

Shut up Legard. Please.

Thats what i came here to say too. What a plonker.

FRONT WING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me he is hopeless.

After he said "Either way it's a wing", I think I heard Brundle giggle a bit.

Hopefully Legard's signed off... for good.

i literally cringed when he said that. was half expecting Brundle to just drop the mic and walk off at that moment

i had it on 5live today..

i can certainly live with David Croft next year if he's the choice... he's not perfect but at least i don't feel the need to shout at the tv every 10 seconds

Rather than annoying me the Wing incident made me laugh.

EJ needs to be banned from interviews unless he's accompanied by an adult.

Yeah, I didn't like Eddie at the start but warmed to him. Lateley he has just become annoying. He prattles on with endless nonsense.

Dang....I thought that crane was coming to pick up the BBC crew and take them off the air

Gridwalk was absolutely destroyed by Eddie.

I thought he was a bit snappy towards Brundle with his retort to Brundle pointing out it was a rear rather than front wing.

Yeah, brain isn't connected to the mouth.
