    I think both do a good job, but it was nice to have someone with an American accent last night during FP1.


    It's too bad Bob can't stay!

    Leigh is excited about the racing.

    Bob is excited about himself.

    Where's the "Watch SkySports or BBC coverage instead" option? :p

    At least they aren't Derek Daly.

    I'm surprised Varsha gets that many votes.

    I can't stand his political correctness: It is rare that any sports commentator ever criticizes a driver, and so when it happens I'm over the moon happy that finally somebody comes out speaking the truth. And when it happens, Varsha feels the need to immediately step in and "correct the wrong" by negating what one of his co commentators just said.

    The guy has swallowed an entire fountain of corporate Kool-aid.

    LOL :D

    Varsha makes lots of mistakes. Seems to say it's a certain driver when it's his teammate. Happens alot.

    We must remember he is a lawyer by education and practice. I have no idea what Leigh D's background is.

    I've only seen Leigh for one week so too early for me to decide, but I thought he did a good job. I actually like the foreign accents while watching the race.

    Don't really understand the strong dislike for Bob though.

    It's not his employer he fears, I suspect that it is the wrath of Bernie.

    Nah, not buying that...... While he may indeed be omnipotent I'm certain not even he is monitoring off-site broadcasters. (Or on-site come to that).

    *If* someone should say something egregious Bernie will no doubt hear about it, and may have a quiet word. But knowing his reputation he'd more likely make some cutting comments in the press rather than the occasionally used "bringing the sport into disrepute."

    Anyway, I'm surprised at the voting; Seems the Varsha "haters" here make more noise than his supporters, which appear to be in the majority despite the bashing.

    FWIW, I too am also fully "Sky'd", but I thought it was an interesting Q. Even if few voted. :(

    Cheers,
    Ian

    :) Indeed!

    Listening to that (sounded like those stupid Japanese game shows!) should make us appreciate either of "our" guys!

    Dayum, that would get old in a hurry! ;)

    I wish Varsha would announce soccer (futbol) in Europe and get off my television. That way he could torture Europeans every weekend by continually repeating that "as a reminder folks, you cannot use your hands" "and if this is your first time watching, that one team has to kick the ball in the opposite teams goal" and "explaining red and yellow cards."

    UGHHHHH!!!!!!

    Agreed. Other than being mildly annoyed with Diff's volume, I really don't have a problem with either of them. Never could understand some of the venom around here.
