I was just watching a replay of Spa last year and boy I don't miss Legard one bit. I think what makes the DC + MB pairing so good is that they're mates in real life, and that seems to make the conversation more natural on air.

Why TMC is still responsible of the Monaco GP "World Feed"?

They probably pay the FOM guys a weeks holiday.

Well, they've been doing it for over 50 years already, so I guess it's become a bit of a tradition now. Besides, the Monaco Grand Prix is organised by Automobile Club de Monaco, not Bernie and also Royal Family's strong connections with the race plus the fact that TMC is partially owned by the government all contribute to the secure position of the current host broadcaster.

The forum was great :D And the directing during the race was okay, I had expected something much worse.

Just a heads up - this Sunday, 5th June, there's a programme on BBC 2 at 8pm about Murray Walker.

You finally caught proper HD cameras there Mäth :p
Noticed that the F1 communications (FOM) cameramen and crew got new clothing. I think since Spain...

The directors have gotten worse this season. I know it's hard with the overload of action but every race there are 4 or 5 incidents where you have zero idea how they occured at all.

I mean Jenson's girlfriend is insanely hot but I'd much rather see Webber passing Schumacher. I care not for Anthony Hamilton or Jenson's ugly dad on my screens. Show the action or show replays of stuff that's happened!

Will we ever get replays of Di Resta and Rosberg? FOM Highlight clip? Official DVD release?

The FOM highlight reel after the race might have included them. But there are only a few channels that are broadcasting it.

Martin and DC really are a great combination. The way they kept us entertained for nearly 2 hours waiting showed their broadcasting talents. Imagine we had to do with Legard still...
