Spot on
Jake is a personable enough guy but I really feel he has got a little bit carried away with it all in some interviews he does during the race shows and his questioning technique is a bit OTT.

I listened to the auotsport interview with Steve Rider and though he sounded very articulate and seems to really know his stuff. On the other hand this chap Jake Humphrey sounds a bit over the top to me and very full of himself....

Again, spot on, imo
He is very self confident, in itself not a bad thing for someone in the media and working within F1, but you only have to look at the reponses he gets from some of his interviewees to realise that they aren't at all impressed.
