Brave The Sky coverage annoys me at the best of times, but in the UK it’s the only place to watch a full season of live and uninterrupted coverage, so I make do. However, this season has to be the worst by far. The team grows every season and it’s getting a bit silly now. Simon Lazenby, Natalie Pinkham, Rachel Brooks, Ted Kravits, David Croft, Martin Brundle, Anthony Davidson, Karun Chandhock, Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert, Jenson Button, Naomi Schiff (I’m sure I’m forgetting at least 1)… then they’ve started adding one-time type pundits depending on the race, so at Miami we had Danica Patrick. For fuck sake, yes F1 is a global sport and travels across it, but you’re broadcasting primarily to a UK audience. Why do you think I want Americans presenting it?
As for Miami… well it felt to me like it was trying to be the US version of Monaco. It was more star focussed than usual. Felt like it was a race for people to be seen rather than the actual race.
And before you ask, yes I’m fine 😂
