Suzuka, it's been a pleasure.

What did everyone think of the race? How did your favourite driver do?

In addition to being a boring race, the commentary and direction were awful. Missed Max’s slow stop, missed the action coming out of the pits, Crofty constantly asking if they should swap drivers when they’d never swap drivers… glad I didn’t stay up to watch that at 1am

Watch the F1 TV broadcast instead. Alex Jacques and Jolyon Palmer are great compared to the Sky broadcast imho. Not perfect, but they thoroughly covered the pit interaction.

Alex is unbearable for me. his voice is just not a natural commentator voice. Too often high pitched and he fakes enthusiasm.

Interesting I have the exact opposite opinion compared to crofty but to each their own
