I have not actually watched it yet, I have seen the results plastered everywhere though.

I did not watch last noght as I really, really dislike the commentary from ten, have hated it for years. When it was half an hour past the published time for the telecast to start and they were still just waffling on I went to bed. I hate the Australian commentary that badly that at the Aust GP weekend (I go every year) I ended up for half the race listening to FM commercial radio instead of the on track commentary!

Surely it is not just me who hates the Aust commentary? Does referring to a group of cars racing for position as a "Battle Pack" not get up anyone elses noses? Can you not stand to hear "Get the job done" "Could not get the job done" "Tried to get the job done" "Did not get the job done" "Pinched a brake" etc etc etc?

At one point at Albert park this year when even the radio was boring I doubled up with ear plugs and black noise earmuffs and sat there in blissful silence through a support race.


Hmmm, this turned into a bit of a rant didn't it? I miss Murray Walker! But the current BBC crop are OK.
