Constructive Criticism is wanted? Firstly this thread was started as a light hearted poke at James. But if you want my real gripes here goes:
1 The shouting at the start of each of this years races sounds artificial as if he is trying to fill the boots of Murray
2 Quite a few tired old cliches have been used
3 Attempts to be a comedian just do not work if you're naturally not funny
4 Too much digression from the actual action on track
5 Counting down to the end of the race on numerous occaisions, giving incorrect laps remaining and how many laps the race was long
6 My personal opinion is he tries too hard to sound as if he's been around for ages
As I said in the very first post and Ellis later mentioned, the world feed was very poor. However timing screens are provided to give accurate information, and can be used to good effect (especially by M.Brundle),to keep viewers informed of what's actually going on on track. Admittedly not everyone who watches F1 on ITV is as mad about the sport as the people on this forum, But judging by the reaction of my workmates(some fans and some casual watchers) his commentary leaves a lot to be desired!
