Their attention will be constantly changing between each of these and yet provide a seamless continual flow of commentary.

You can't seriously fault if looking at a different screen when something happens on the world feed, and they have to make an instantaneous call on which driver it is.
I wonder how often Stirling Moss changed his white Herbert Johnson?
