Croft has to go

[PlywoodPascal]

Interestingly, I’ve seen both the f1tv commentary (Ben Edwards) and SkyF1 (you know who).
Small difference that sums it up for me.
After Hamilton’s emotional thanks to the team, the commentators both said something.
Edwards commented on the emotion, offered an explanation for it and empathised with hamilton.
Croft reeled off three statistics about how many wins etc. etc. Hamilton has.

She shared some slightly awkward political views a couple of weeks back which caused a bit of a drama - mostly in the States.

No big deal really. However she has since said she's taking a break from Sky and expects to be back in October, basically for Vegas.

Reading between the lines I would say she's being taken out of the limelight for a short break to let anyone bothered by her views forget all about it! Perhaps also to allow Sky/Liberty to road test another US pundit to see if they can find a better fit..

There's no big story here.

Lazenby going on and on about having six different winners so far, then Brundle shooting him down with, let's put it in perspective max has won six of those races

[Adrian W]

Why is Neomi talks st on all of the time? Does this mean Sky are promoting her?

No difference to the previous couple of years.

Thants not right, she has been in every segment yesterday and today so far

Thanks to Crofty I now know it is 4000 odd days since Alonso did something. I am obviously not paying attention to the really important stuff!

Keep up

Did you hear Rosberg put Croft in his place, when Croft asked him if he could empathise with the drivers, Rosberg replied "that why I'm here"

[Adrian W]

Made me laugh what st talks st was going on and on and on but saying nothing about the driver market, and Rosberg just stared at here thinking why don't you just shut up

Although Croft was kind of asking if Nico could empathise with Checo as in being continually beaten by your team mate

That's been the pattern from the start, chuck her in everything and then she disappears from Sky for a few races before returning again. Rinse and repeat, just like her waffle.

Why was Crofty butt hurt about Max being up all night and morning on a racing sim? I heard Ted tried to put him in his place that not everyone needs full 8 hours of sleep and it is what he does! P1llock! lol

Naomi Schiff is really horrible, I'm sorry but it has to to be said.

She makes the show unwatchable and makes it very obvious that she is part of this worldwide agenda to push black women into everything for "diversity".

Besides her, great grand prix though. Max has to learn to calm down.

I think she’s lovely.
And, for balance, I have no issues with Crofty.

Lol, you could see even Rosberg was giving her that look of embarrassment as she was spouting some unintelligible st.

I was going to say that again , let's call it the Rosberg death stare, she really was spouting gibberish.

Croft needs to understand that he knows nothing about the cars and tyres, he needs to stop giving us his expert guesses based on something he overheard
