For me it's memories of the guys from sales and marketing trying to prepare slides for their presentations in advance of the annual user conference.

[Sterzo]

...and the Health and Safety lecture where the presenter tripped over the projector's power lead.

Judging by the comments on Damon's post here, I think the sky studio is getting a resounding thumbs down.

Ah so I was right, it is LED panels on the floor!

Enjoyed Nico putting Karun back in his box today.

Perhaps his opinion would carry more value if he, you know had scored a point.

 

Loved when he said if he knew it would only be him and Croft in China he woudl have preferred to be in the UK!

[Dalton007]

Nico has been superb. Technical commentary balanced with fan enthusiasm. 

 

Knows what set-up changes are required based on car behaviour. Blows the others out of the water. No contestant.

I had forgotten this existed, thanks for the memory lane injection.

Croft talks too much, not every SECOND has to be filled with speech.

Rosberg is brilliant. A no bullshit guy. Shoots down any crap immediately, calls out the drivers for their excuses too.

A new James Hunt?

[Garagista]

And loved his bottled frustration because of the no Spoilers about the Sprint.

And he was spot on about Hamilton, the setup cannot be an excuse, he dropped because of his error in the hairpin.

And all the "I was impeded" nonsense, which is the F1 equivalent of a footballer taking a dive.

Agreed he is on point

[Dalton007]

Croft and Rosberg are not too bad together. Rosberg reigns Croft in a bit, less jokey more serious about what's going on the track, gives us more timing data, and very sharp on car behaviour characteristics.

Brundle and Chandook don't give us that insight, especially on car set-ups and other technical data.

It reflects a little bit his F1 journey. By his own recollection to beat Lewis he had to go to the minimum detail. It kind of gave him a capacity to have a full picture, not that he is always right.

[Dalton007]

Croft frothing at the mouth to get his viking line in today.

[CSF]

I was half asleep at this point, but there was some incident at the hairpin where Crofty tried to say it was "like an incident Nico had at the same corner" well no Crofty that was in Austria. Nico didn't sound very impressed.

When pressed on that by Croft, Rosberg couldn't make his mind up on what point he was trying to make. He should never be allowed in the box again, absolutely dog crap he is.

Like Rosberg doing comms, although it's a sign of the times that even the Sky folk are hoping that anyone other than Verstappen is in the lead

I thought he was awful, especially if you compare to other historical drivers such as Button and Davidson.

Enjoyed Rosberg today.
Positive yet not cheerleading. Doesn’t shout.
A pleasure to listen to.

I pretty much agree with Matt Gallagher (from 4:12). He's a different fit with David Croft, probably for the better IMHO:

Rosberg was a positive change to the commentary. It's been a while since somebody has added somrhing new and intesesting from a technibcal perspective. He also has a good eye on what's going on off-camera. Rosberg / Davidson / Button make a diffference.

 

Croft's cheese 'joke' worked on a few levels.

[DinocoBlue]

It might just be me, but since they've gone to this in-studio setup, the picture quality from their crew at the track seems to have got worse. The studio seems to be in one resolution and the trackside in another,

(The race output is fine though as its not Sky's output).

They've had this going on for a few years now, often it'll be seen on footage from driver pen or something like that. Not sure why they can't resolve it?

Me either. Its like they've kept the HD cameras for the studio and sent them off to the track with SD.

 

And, I'm glad its not just me then... thought it might have been my telly.

Thanks for posting this, it is hard to disagree that Nico Rosberg did an exceptional job, he is intelligent, understands his audience, and relevant enough to the turbo era cars to understand the dynamics of them. I don't see how or why he would commit to a full time job, he has other business interests. Nico Rosberg and Ant Davidson both deal with the audience in a professional manner, Karun is to much of a fan to do the role he is doing, he has to much enthusiasm which is the opposite to professional, at one point on Sunday both Lazenby and Hill were laughing at him for going off on a tangent, I have said on this thread on numerous occasions if you watch Sky football, cricket, even darts they handle the production so much better. F1 deserves better than this.

Those were the days.

We had an high school geography teacher who would nip into the backroom of the class for a 'sip' every once in a while. He spent the first 20-30 minutes of class using the OHP to draw a very detailed map of Africa and all the countries for us. Not sure why he didn't do it before class, such a boring waste to just sit there and watch I thought. I was at the front closest to the projector and annoyed we had to just sit there. So, when he nipped out I gave the projector the slightest of nudges to put it just askew to where it was. The hilarity of watching him spend the rest of the class trying to fix the angle and making it progressively worse was fun.

[chdphd]

I was at a biology conference once and a guy from Moldova had printed out one of his scientific papers on acetate and just read it out. He angled it so he could read it, but it was at a crazy angle on the screen. The text was too small to read anyway. He went way over his 15 minutes and refused to stop until he'd finished reading the whole thing. A Dutch guy beside me kept saying "shtop" which was funny due to Grolsch TV adverts at the time. 

 

 

ANYWAY

 

The Sky studio thing is lame, but I watch very little pre- or post-race stuff now so I'm not bothered by this.

 

I don't mind Nico. He clearly has an ego, but if I was a handsome, rich, intelligent, F1 champion I might have one too.

 

Any news on which races will be Croft-free yet?
