I agree with earlier comments about Lee McKenzie. A class presenter. Better than most of her Ch 4 colleagues. She, DC, Mark Webber and Billy Whizz make a great team.

I agree Lee is a class act. She's great at presenting and not just F1 or motorsport in general. She's very good presenting the rugby too. She certainly deserves a bigger role

IMHO Harry Benjamin was a VAST improvement over Croft but like nearly all commentators, he did have the odd annoying trait. The probability percentage of a SC is regularly referred to at other Grands Prix but I'm struggling to remember if they've also said 100% or left it at "highly likely" or something like that.
Croft genuinely spoils the experience for me but I reckon if 20 of us were lined up and asked for the key aspects of a perfect commentator, I'm tipping that there wouldn't be even 2 identical lists. |

I was ambivalent to Harry Benjamin. He wasn't fantastic, wasn't horrible. It didn't add or detract from my F1 experience.
I'm sure he was massively nervous for his first proper F1 race, and will find a rhythm in future. |

You know what, I retract some of my previous statement. Because this is totally fair. Whilst he is not new to commentating, the gap in viewership numbers between anything else and F1 is crazy.

Listening to Jacques and litle Brundle sounding off to.each other in F2 qualy yesterday was like a battle of the cheesiest cliches delivered as loudly and as slowly as possible.

I quite like Alex Brundle's commentary/punditry style. He always sounds like he's having a laugh and has his tongue firmly in his cheek.
He does crowbar the gags in fairly forcefully though. I wonder where that comes from...? |

The Chuckle Brothers are back on Ch4. No Lee unfortunately.
