Good commentary used to be an art. Now it is treated like a mere function. Indycar isn't the only motorsport that suffers from this plight. For example, ITV need to fire Tim Harvey from a big cannon for being as irritating and repetitive as they come.

Yes, all the TV crews need to commentate as if they were on radio, and not 'commentating on what we can all see'.

It's something that blightens all of Motorsport ATM, Indycar, NASCAR, F1 etc. etc. If you turn down the TV commentary and switch on the radio, the races are sooooo much better.

Same goes for football.

he gets 8 points docked for braking too late yet RHR got just 3 docked for a crash that destroyed a tub, had a car nearly land directly in the cockpit of another driver and was a clear block to keep position in the last moments of race in a downpour. inconsistency still reigns it looks like. im not favoring either driver im just saying keep the decisions the same.

RHR also didn't continue in the race and finish in the top 10 after he ruined another drivers race though .

He's also not a giant douche who is a big start-ruining prick with stupid sunglasses and a plastic face and a big butt and his butt smells and he likes to kiss his own butt.

Why this took 3 days to work out and didn't happen during the race is the big question. Blame BB.
