What's wrong with Brundle and Crofty?
Probably great guys to sit down, have a beer with and talk racing...but as sports commentators...boring as hell.
AUS was my first time watching their broadcast and they offered nothing more than where the cars were currently circulating on track.
There was no speculation as to what any particular team might try with tire strategy to under-cut at pit stops...no additional facts about what the teams had done in the off season to gain performance...nothing other than 'calling' the race.
I hated the screen display format of driver's names during the race.
The lettering was extra small and the font color blended into the background, making it almost impossible to read.
In addition, there was no tire information posted... as in what tires were currently on the car..you only saw that during tire changes at pit-stop.
Just as they were cutting away to a commercial break, I saw brief flashes of the Williams and the Sauber on screen.
After the break...no mention of what had happened to the Williams, only a brief shot of Marcus walking with Sauber personnel and a mention that he was out.
In 47 years of watching F1, it had to be one of only a few instances I can recall of me just wanting to get up...walk across the room...and simply turn the television off.
It was that bad.
