  • Didn't Wolff say in his post race interview that he 'let the stewards decide, I don't want to be a punter like some of my colleagues'? In the next breath he says it was like a tactical foul in football ie Max took Hamilton out deliberately.

  • To be honest I've just been switching off after the flag waves the past season or two. It's hard enough having to put up with some of the crap spouted during the race, an hour or so of nothing but that sounds like hell!

    Looking forward to being able to get F1TV and forgo the commentary altogether. Aside from the irritating biases, the amount of objectively wrong calls they (mostly Croft to be fair) make during the race is ridiculous. At least Murray Walker was endearing enough that it was forgivable to a point, and I guess back then we didn't have access to all the data that we have now that for a portion of the viewership makes play-by-play commentary superfluous (though the pit-lane commentary is handy I'll concede, wish that was given by Chandok over Kravitz though).

    Jesus that's a lot of complaining up there, I do love the sport but Sky (and F1 themselves to a lesser extent) have definitely made watching it more irritating over the past couple of years.

  • Yeah, and most of the stuff that comes out of the mouths of team members or drivers is just PR/marketing with sometimes a nod to the truth. It seems like all the 'my tyres have gone' type driver radio messages are just hoping to confuse their opponents just before setting a fastest lap!
