Yep. Theft is entirely justified if you don't like the price of something.

I started watching F1 when it was Grand Prix on for an hour at midnight if you were lucky. The races the BBC don't show live now they seem to have hour and a half highlights of an hour and 40 minute race - I'm not sure why those that don't want to pay for the better service are complaining; you still get more or less everything and waiting a couple of hours isn't that big a deal. Of course you have to put up with Eddie Jordan.

He's at less and less races these days, thankfully.

Maybe the bbc are trying to phase him out without him realising it

I agree on not missing much on the bbc highlight races, they cut a few laps out and that's it and they'll make sure they're not laps where something happens.

If only Sky could swap out crofty with DC, Ant or something like that.
Crofty is in love with his own voice.
He's excited but that doesn't do it for me..

Thank god for Martin Brundle commentating on qualifying and races, talking some actual sense and bringing some real insight.
That man is worth his weight in gold.

I wish he'd stop saying "It's lights out, and away we go!" every single race.

Would you rather they stuck with James Allen? At least Crofty doesn't do a redneck NASCAR impression at the start of the race!
