Karun is the absolute worst. I wish they would fire him. His chunky thighs and knock knees are so gross. I hate Bernie Collins too. Canāt understand a word she says. When the both of them are on together, Iām ready to eat a bullet.Karun - if Iām being honest
So, to play fair, Karun has gotten better. I think someone let it slip he was saying a form of "honestly" far too often for a broadcaster/journalist. He definitely packed on a few pounds after no longer being in the premier series, which isn't atypical. For Bernie, jury is still out on her. She has the knowledge, doesn't throw juxtaposition around, and actually worked for one of the teams (as a strategist?). Her accent, I can catch about 95% of what she says, and I do like it. I used to date a woman from the English midlands (Yorkshire), so getting those accents is not a problem for me, and I kind of like it with women. It's when they're going full-on Welsh I can't understand a word.
It's the commentators that never drove an F1 car, or worked directly on a team that annoy me the most.
As many have said, Jenson Button gets the most votes for which presenter should be at the top, but he's busy with Williams duties and his other racing series/teams. I think a Button/Coulthard/Anderson pairing would work well. Maybe rotate in some other former drivers to guest comment, IF they have a personality (keep that boring fuck Rosberg away). Maybe get Kimi loaded up on ice cream and alcohol and he'd have some fun things to say.
I really like the old pairing of Bob Varsha and David Hobbs back on the old Speedvision and NBC coverage days. Matchett was blowhard that couldn't get out of the mid-90's and his "at Bennetton" days.
David Hobbs was fantastic with Lee Diffy back when NBC had them. Lee has that voice that seems to make it more exciting. I miss him when I occasionally turn on indycar or when he does the Olympics coverage.
I like Leigh when he first started out, then his voice really started to get to me. He and David Croft are basically the same person from different continents.
And another note. During Qualifying, minimum lap time will be 1:54, which is meant to prevent lollygagging (my interpretive word) and stacking up. Listening to the Sky feed for a change, and Damon HIll is schooling Crofty on lap times vs. tires. Crofty is getting a bit salty 
Also, last 15 minutes of FP3 is like qualifying. Everyone is throwing down. Lap times aren't really dropping, but man are some of these guys hanging their cheese out in the wind!
Lastly, I like the new camera angle on Hamilton's car, just wish it wasn't on a gimbal.

Lets see. Yesterday at the time you posted this, I was still at work, since this is/was our big inventory weekend. Got home from that, watched FP2 from the night before, and then started FP3 up, and literally finished it in bed as I was falling asleep
Back in bright and early this morning to get everything finalized w/ our inventory and just now got thru Quali. But at least I'm DONE w/ work for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully I have the energy to stay up thru the race tonight. I'd put it at about 60/40 I don't make it
Oh I have been out in the yard all day, cutting grass, edging, trimming hedges, etc. I doubt Iām making it another six hours without some form of unconsciousness.Lets see.

Pre-race? I, I just canāt do 90 minutes of fluff when the race is about that long.pre-race starting!! Lets see how this goes
Thatās like eight hours of pre-game for the Super Bowl when the game itself should only take an hour (without time outs).

59 minutes, ok. But a full hour? No way.
Put the reserve drivers out on pit bikes or karts, let them rip for an hour. That would be more fun.
