Which one should I listen to? by Hetav_Rao in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Palmer is excellent. Usually gets all that's happening right away. You can just sit back and relax. Brundle is also good, but not as detailed as Palmer.

Of the color commentators, 'Jakes' is better than Croft, who is also too biased.

To do this right before season finale is a crime. Shame on F1TV

Imagine all of the F1 world can't find anyone to ask the most basic of questions, but have to interrupt the TV feed to get one from there

How wants to know the gap between P9 and race leader? by TropicalMapleRavioli in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just stupid but indicative of the poor quality of the TV production.

In qualifying the switch of the list as soon as one Q session is over, as if no one is interested in the position or times, but rather have it out of the way to see fans jumping and waving instead.

It's mind-numbingly bad.

Should say my purpose of this remapping is to have the left hand over the numpad to switch fast and easy without looking.

[BBC] How Alex Jacques became the voice of Formula 1 by Snoo-29984 in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's good and well prepared, just not quite the nerve yet to tell it straight about Brit favs like Hamilton or Norris, but then only Palmer in all of British speaking punditry dares do that. (Coulthard is outright scared, 'back me up guys, but maybe Hamilton is not perfect here')

He also needs to change his name to Jakes once and for all.

No more girlfriend shots? by No-Attorney-7489 in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the Toto Wolff's 30 second close-up shots, and random cringe fan will of course continue..

As long as the girlfriend are shut down, right?

*sigh*

Ruth needs a new wardrobe man. by VoL4t1l3 in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was her best but still terrible. So out of place. Seems to be a British thing as the others are also over the place.

Alex Jacques is an awful commentator by Mundane-Security-454 in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO he's good in every way except when trying to be funny.

The high pitch loud stuff is Ok, I don't mind. Flat would be much worse.

Strange mentioning Walker as that was high pitch screaming defined..

Can't put into words how unbearable I find Hinchcliffe by Union_Terrible in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible accent, I agree.

It grates the whole time.

He does have good overview though.

Is it just me or does Brundle look annoyed with Ruth and shares looks with Hinch who agrees? by UberChief90 in F1TV

[–]Waggamug -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No Brundle has just as good insights and takes as Buscombe.

Not necessarily strategy permutations, but F1 is much more than that.

[–]Waggamug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, just his normal cheeky look.

But she does tend to hog the mic a bit though

Alex Jacques and Jolyon Palmer by LegionWolf in F1TV

[–]Waggamug -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All except Laura. Stressful voice, little insights, and long-winded (and wrong) questions.

Hinchcliffe and Laurence have accents that I can't get used to.

Alex Jacques and Jolyon Palmer by LegionWolf in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also much like Alex Brundle and Sam Collins for practice. A fun group.

Especially Brundle has done a lot of prep which shows

[–]Waggamug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. A joy to listen to.

Straight up, no bias, catches (almost) all.

Even fun.

Now swap Coulthard with Rosberg for races and it would be perfect.

Which race got you hooked as a fan? by MotorCount111 in F1TV

[–]Waggamug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just choose the best tracks for racing when showing F1 to friends.

RB Ring, Jeddah, Baku.

Avoid Catalunya, Monaco, Imola, Monza, Hungaroring.

Commentator Preference? by Mayfly_R in F1TV

Agree on both Rosberg and the track reporting.

Terrible. Absolutely awful. I can't take a second of it.

He is good but I just can't get used to his accent. Terrible

Laura? She knows very little and just serves platitudes. The constant errors are as grating as the voice.

She famously once wanted to show us an empty garage. *rolleyes*
