BBC F1 Radio Commentary
I had the misfortune to have to listen to Jack Nichols and Jennie Gow for the qualifying session today. What a poor show.
During an exciting Q2 where it looked like Russell might make Q3, Jack Nichols was talking about Ukrainian F1 drivers, and instead of summing up the Q3 and session as a whole all Jack could say was "I've run out of words". You are a professional commentator and that is the best you can do.
Jennie Gow is just so out of her depth, she just displays her lack of knowledge by going off at irrelevant tangents, she sounded hysterical when Norris got P2. It was not easy listening on the ears, I had to turn the volume down.
I get the impression that Jolyon Palmer would rather be somewhere else than in a commentary booth with these pair. He is a good co-commentator, chipping in with his experience and knowledge. I just feel the BBC are wasting his talents.
