The sky commentator, Croft?, has a lot of work to do - I'm only a casual F1 watcher but even I heard mistake after mistake from him.
The commentator for sky has left me unsure, far too excited for the entire race...... Even with the safety car out....... Have to say though that Sky seem to be doing an outstanding job.
Good race all in all, and although I bet on Hamilton am glad Button won. Would love to see him take the championship again.
Think the race proved that Vettel probably just had a bad start to the weekend and Alonso is getting everything he can from that car.

David Croft is an immensely knowledgeable F1 man, he's been at every race for over many many years now heading 5 live's commentary, works brilliantly with Brundle imo, so much more suited to the job than DC was... the presenter and Damon Hill are laughable, they dont let anyone speak, theyre always butting in!
Great start to the season
A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach.

Think it will be an interesting season, I can see McLaren improving the car from the baseline they have already set, Red Bull will be the nearest rivals to them but think it will be McLarens season.
For me Vettel got lucky as Schumacher & Grosjean left the race giving him two places he didnt have to fight for and then got a lucky break with the Safety Car.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I have been listening to Croft doing F1 on 5 live for years and he's a good commentator,he's used to having to bring the race to life for radio listeners so that's why he's a bit louder than other F1 commentators,when he gets used to doing tv I sure he'll calm down a little bit.
As for the race it was easy in the end for Button once he got past Hamilton to the 1st corner,the Ferrari team has a lot of work to do to catch up the top 2 teams.It was good to see Williams back at the right end of the field with Maldonado until his crash and hopefully they'll stay there for the rest of the season.
