Was? 😢
At least Jones is enthusiastic. Lazenby just looks out of his depth, he's been on the team as long as Pinkham IIRC?
Lazenby isn't even a himbo. Put it this way, I wouldn't * him to get to even Jenson Button 😃
There's being enthusiastic and then's also trying to be cool with the kids and attempting to make the viewer think that he was best mates with the younger drivers in the paddock even though they didn't have a clue of who he was. In his first year, his knowledge was woeful and in the VT links he would make jokes that would fall flat with an older audience. C4 tried to have a young fronted presenter to pull in a younger crowd when they lost the F1 contact to Sky but they forgot that a lot of older viewers who didn't want to subscribe to Sky had no other means to watch the races. He alienated a whole lot of long time viewers. In his second year he reigned it back massively, was less of an irritant and improved his knowledge. Still wasn't the right person to front it my opinion.
Hahaha! Lazenby isn't by any means great but he can make a dull race seem like an epic wacky race with * Dastardly taking out the opposition with custard pies. He's really earning his beans this year on that front 🤣 But it's good that they pair him with a decent co-presenter so you can ignore him. I like Button, I also like Davidson. I don't know how I feel about Chandhok though, depends of what type of mood I'm in!
Edit: I'm thinking about Crofty. 😅
I’m old school… Hire people solely on merit.
@ScarDuck14Agreed but also allow them the opportunity to earn that merit. Then we won't ever be in the position where we feel people of certain genders (or ethnicities) are there just because
We really should get back on topic 🙂

Seven pages later we are worried....why? 🙂
@TotosHeadphonesBut earning that merit froms from working your way up and takes time. You don’t earn merit by simply being pushed in at the deep end to fill a quota.
As for taking threads off topic.. We are infamous for it. And is far better than just single post threads screaming about something like the FIFA boards.
