MARTIN BRUNDLE -hilarious

emmemm

Find the Grand Prix a yawn.Only watch it for Brundles pre race shenanigans at the start.One of those -so bad that hes good. Great comedy.

One of these days someone very rich and famous will lamp him!

Dr. Dre

Yeah, I love his grid walks.

Brun: "Who are you?"

Quality.

i really like his grid walks, though i think he milks his thing where he gave the king of spain a run in a car once, he uses it every time your man is around.

i watch F1 on utv because of martin brundle, i don't particularly like the people on network 2 and james allen is a bit of a twat

neokenzo

I like the grid walk too. He's just hilarious.
Dont watch the Network 2 F1's either. I find their commentary a bit bore. Always exiting on UTV.

Töpher

Yeah, Allen is a bore, and NET2 sucks balls, but Brundle is a great commentator, and his pitwalks are hillarious! He has some occasional genius comments while commentating too, Autralia: saying Baumgartner shouldn't even be allowed to drive a road car.

quarryman

yeah i love brundle's random person chat. when he can't find anyone interesting he just stops some stranger and asks them why they're there. and he gets so p|ssed if people walk in his way yet he has no problem barging into someone elses conversation.

projectmayhem

yeah he's great. tim allen is there because he's the person most likely to be like murray walker (minus the mistakes) in the future. he's doing a pretty decent job in my opinion.

rte is just ****e. that red head bloke goes on like brundle but actually knows NOTHING of the sport. and the other guy... he used to do rugby!! how far removed from f1 can you get?

seeing as we are having a go at the RTE F1 commentary team.... Does any one else hate it when we hear of Nikki Heidfeld, last i knew it was Nick. How is heidfeld refered to on ITV?

Davey Devil

ITV would be ok if they fired Tony Jardine who's in the studio, I hate that guy.

they must be on an intimate first name basis now that he drives for jordan

ITV should get Ben Edwards to partner Brundle imo., he used to be very good when Eurosport covered F1..

And soccer - another one to add to the list

It's like when Pedro Diniz was in F1, the RTE twat used to call him "Pedro Paulo Diniz"

Aye, him and John Watson were just sublime. They sounded excited about the racing, the RTE pair are just dull... dull like golf.

Lucy Lu

I used to hate watching it on RTE but after watching it for the last while on Speed in the states I am glad to be home watching RTE again!

brainstorm

Yup the Eurosport team were brilliant and they used to cover every session.. happy days.

is that the guy that used to commentate on Cart aswell on Eurosport a few years back? He was brilliant. I think he does Toca commentary now on Speed sunday. Man I used to love watching F1 on the Sunday morning and in the evening watch the crashes in Cart with people like Montoyo and Zanardi dominating! Whatever happened to Eurosport?

TBH I think the commentator with the multiskills on Rte is ok, he really gets into the race when it gets exciting, I have a few races recorded where he goes mental like Canada '98 when Frentzen was pushed off by SchumacherM. I don’t like the other idiots on Rte though, they use this phrase a lot: 'a little bit' >>> usually means a lot, like for instance 'Jordans Ford engine is a little bit slow compared to Ferrari's'

NTL:

I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed by our decision to replace Eurosport with CNBC Europe. This decision is based on reliable market research by two independent research companies. Inevitably, despite the findings of the research there will always be disappointed customers when a channel change is implemented.

While Eurosport will no longer be available to ntl subscribers, either as part of our basic tv pack or our Go Digital pack, we would like to remind customers that there is still thousands of hours of sport available on our other basic tv pack channels. In particular, all the main tennis tournaments are still covered on these channels. We do appreciate your feedback and always strive to improve our channel line up.

so who does show Eurosport in Ireland?

bizmark

Sky digty does

Quatre Mains

I actually dont mind the black haired guy on Net2 but the redser is a bit kiddie-fiddlerish, always rubbing his hands together and squinting. He also seems to like himself a bit too much

I hate the pitwalks. WTF right have the likes of Naomi Campbell et al got to be on a pitlane 5 mins before a race

I did'nt belive it then I still dont! They must a canvassed opionion during a quiet spell in the sporting calender when Eurosport was covering indoor bob-sledge or other obscure winter sport.

yea, david kennedy is the red guy. Funny thing is, he's driven in F1 & Lemans, one of Ireland's more successfull drivers in fact. I spoken to him in the flesh and he is actually very knowledgeable. I guess he turns off his brain when he gets on the mic!

Is1ldur

I hate watchin the RTE coverage. They make so many mistakes it is unbelievable. The dark haired guy, Peter Collins or summat, is completely clueless.
