I am sure her detractors will be along soon, but I think she has settled in to the role and was a good choice. I know some will say that Lee McKenzie should have got it but she has a good rapport with the teams drivers etc and that is needed for the in race and qualifying interviews.
Suzy is lovely I am sure.
But she is in the wrong job.
I am sure she is awesome at bikes and gadgets and stuff but she's out of her depth in F1.
Too many mistakes. Says too many stoopid things.
I think they can do much better. Hiring her was unimaginative; as if someone in the BBC who knows nothing about F1 was told to hire a female character who is known in the UK for motorsport and who appeals to "men of a certain age". They googled this criteria and her name came up. They could'nt think of anyone else.

She is very sexy and she has been the best thing about F1 this year
Really? She knows nothing about F1, has an annoying presenting style, and is a good few years past her best imo. Natalie Pinkham is much easier on the eye, and Lee McKenzie far more knowledgeable, both are much more watchable than Perry.

You do have a point I supposeNatalie Pinkham is much easier on the eye, and Lee McKenzie far more knowledgeable, both are much more watchable than Perry.

I've noticed a bit of acrimony between her and Eddie
Eddie is hugely knowledgable about F1 - and has an inside line to a lot of the teams.Perry... he knows she knows next to nothing about the sport, has no interest in the sport, and is only there because of her male fan base. I don't think many of the team personnel or drivers have a lot of time for her, either.

Sums it up perfectly I think. Perry... he knows she knows next to nothing about the sport, has no interest in the sport, and is only there because of her male fan base. I don't think many of the team personnel or drivers have a lot of time for her, either.

But she is not there for detailed knowledge, they already have Lee, Eddie and DC for that, she is doing an anchor job, and I think is doing it well, and is gelling with the teamPerry... he knows she knows next to nothing about the sport, has no interest in the sport, and is only there because of her male fan base.

Are you sure you are watching the same thing most other people are?She is most certainly not gelling with the team. Her co presenters all too often have to save her or correct her. EJ frequently corrects her and had to do so multiple times this weekend.
You can tell he doesn't respect her much , simply because she does not "get" F1 and isn't about to either.
I think we were spoiled by how naturalistic Jake was. It seemed so effortless when he was doing it, yet now I see Perry floundering I realise it's not a simple job 
McKenzie should've got the gig from the start though - can only assume the Beeb weren't happy about that little bit of extra weight she used to carry. Shame really because she is very good.
