Plenty of praise from him for drivers when it is justified.It’s not faked.
Faking it is what the TV commentators in your beloved Supercars do.

Praising a bloke on the broadcast after having smashed him in the wider press makes for a fickle friend. It’s been done to Mr Hamilton and Mr Ricciardo amongst others. Some of the on air criticism of Mr Hamilton has been dreadful and disrespectful to my old ears.
Bias is fine when you can see it. You can choose to listen, or couch it in that bias to neutralise it. Flip flopping as a fair weather supporter is tiring and makes the mute button my friend.
Perhaps we could switch Ms Schiff’s sharing back into the mix. Or indeed make more of Ms Collins’ talents.
And yes, the V8Supercar coverage has more rough spots in the commentary team and practices than desirable. They seem to be working on it.. but that seems to have reduced screen time for the one bloke who knows how the world works.
