Buxton replaced by Brundles' Son

Post

Long time F1 lurker, finally posting!

Title about says it all. Buxton replaced by Brundles' son, what do you think? I have my own opinions but I’m wondering what people generally think. Thanks.

I also saw this thread which I’m in agreement with:

I though brundle jr provided good commentary and was quite insightful and he looked like he thoroughly enjoyed himself. He should be a good addition.

Well, I'm happy to see Buxton gone as I couldn't stand him, so good riddance.

He was an okay color commentator, but I guess we'll see how he does as a primary commentator over the season.

His name is pretty easy, it's Alex Brundle.

Will Buxton's tendency to state the bleeding obvious with gravitas is intolerable to listen to, whereas Alex Brundle is quite a listenable F2 commentator.

Overall an excellent decision by F1TV!

(One must apologise to the Indycar fans who now have to listen to Buxton's commentary and hosting... Yikes!)

Great news! Buxton and a few others are simply not experts, and are just shouting for money basically.
Also, I hate too professional commentators, who are basically follow a routine, and look at this as an act rather than truly understanding what is going on and enjoying it with us.
I do not believe commentators have to make us excited, especially when there is no reason for it. That is cheap and is turning off every real human. Brundle was also among the best, and his son seems to be like a well made copy haha :)

I managed to see 2-3 videos with him, seems far better than Buxton so for me it is a upgrade for sure.

Off Topic a bit but I heard David Croft on F1TV during testing. Really, really hope he's not there for the whole season.
