It comes up almost every year now. Personally… This feels so easy to fix. Just send someone out in front of Brundle to gauge everyone’s interest, or just tell him to back off a bit when he meets legitimate resistance. Why manufacturer drama like this? The sport just doesn’t need it in my opinion. He had two opportunities to not do what he did this weekend, but he pressed on.
Sure, it’s historical and all. But it just feels a little greasy to essentially force an interview on someone. Who is to say that Brundle can demand someone interview with him? Why are we owed that? I like Brundle and his way of interviewing, but I feel like he needs to be more respectful of those that aren’t there to be interviewed. We don’t own celebrities and no one is owed an interview simply because a celebrity decided to attend a race.
Thoughts?
Over this season I’ve migrated over to only watching the F1TV coverage and haven’t switched back to the Sky feed at all anymore. I don’t miss all the awkwardness over on Sky at all and the F1 coverage has caught up on anything that Sky was better at before.
Same. I like the F1TV guys a lot.
