The difference being, I don't pretend to be good at it. I never liked the "well you do better" idea because otherwise I'd like to see someone have a pop at open heart surgery when a doctor loses a patient. Just because I'm not a TV presenter, doesn't mean Jonathan Legard was good.
Honestly, Channel 4s coverage is dire. Steve Jones asking questions that make ITV look cutting edge. Questions like "how important is it to be on pole?" There is no answer to that question. It's just talking to fill the time. The pre show had absolutely no content at all except for DC and Webbers grid walk, which even then was 75% celebs. The rest of it was filler nonsense. Then Edwards seemed stunned that the VSC helped the cars that hasn't pitted - very simple concept.
Honestly, the coverage was awful. It isn't as good as Sky's (although you could argue you get what you pay for), it isn't as good as BBCs, and it's almost identical to ITVs. Since we lost BBC as the sole provider, it's like they put in effort to discourage you from watching F1.
As for team radios, I agree. We should remove them. But the rule is nonsense, which is my point. They introduced it with the idea that it'd increase in track action and stop things being decided off the circuit. Well here we are deciding the race off the circuit again, so how's that worked out? And the other time it became an issue, it turned into an eye-spy game with Lewis which made the whole thing look ridiculous.
Either take the radios out, or let then do whatever they want with them. Trying to regulate them like this is silly.
