Chris2K Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Apparently Ted Kravitz is gone from Sky F1 and nobody seems to know why. If it's true it's a damn shame, I love Ted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted February 23, 2019 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Literally the only reason to watch. Mind you, him and Buxton together on F1 TV would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Good news, but diminished by the news that the Qualifying/Race notebook shows aren't coming back, and Ted himself won't be brought to 6-7 of the races. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted February 28, 2019 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I guess I get him not being at every race - with a very young family now - but scrapping the Notebook is a horrendous decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Lineker Posted March 7, 2019 Author Admin Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Figures. Officially it's a 'leave of absence' but yeah, he won't be coming back any time soon. Meanwhile, IndyCar will be broadcast on Sky Sports F1 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Looks as though F1 will introduce an extra point for the fastest Grand Prix lap. I know it's not a new idea because they did it back in the 1950s, but I like it. Having something potentially to play for in a processional race should make things a bit more interesting.

Chris2K Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 The Netflix F1 documentary series dropped today, I've only seen the first episode but it seems to be really well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm three episodes in. It's good, but it's hard to tell who it's aimed at. If you're an F1 fan, you already know the outcome of all of this; but also it's hard to tell who's going to watch this other than F1 fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 The only thing annoying me about the F1 series is the fake, post-produced commentary they're using throughout. It always sounds so forced and emotionless, as well as the F1 fan side of me knowing that nobody watching was interested in whether Carlos Sainz finished ahead of Fernando Alonso at Baku, and that no commentator was discussing it when they crossed the line. They're using the Sky commentary as well so it's even more obvious. In fact my favourite part of this was them using the same guy to announce title victories by Ayrton Senna, Damon Hill and Lewis Hamilton right next to each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Really? That puts me off checking it out a bit, like with the Sunderland AFC documentary that had editing so disingenuous it made me mildly irritated watching it every episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 To be fair it's a really small part of it, and the documentary side of it is top notch which is what really matters. You even get to meet Christian and Geri Horner's donkeys. It's just something that always jars me, BT did it whenever they did shows of archive goals and had someone commentating from present day trying to feign surprise at a goal being scored. And after the Monaco episode I've somehow managed to find a way to dislike the Strolls even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugobomb Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) EDIT: Not sure where I pulled the Perez/Stroll thing from, seeing as Stroll had only had Massa and that Russian lad for team mates Edited March 12, 2019 by hugobomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
