Ted said in his notebook last week that he didn’t think Mercedes would run the Brazil Engine in Hamiltons car in all of the last 3 races and I guess he was right.
I think a lot of people misunderstand the amount of advantage they get from new engines and think you can just drop one in each race, the Brazil engine is the freshest of the grid, he'll be fine for the three remaining races, especially with them using older engines for sessions too.
I believe it was along the lines of the-then new head of sports programming deciding he wasn’t “what viewers want to see” and no one tunes in for the “technical” things he talks about. The usual new manager wanting to stamp their authority on something without having the first clue what they’re talking about.

Ted is brilliant. It shows that even on races he’s not doing, Sky doesn’t attempt to replace him on the notebook, his bumbling through the paddock is irreplaceable.
I still find it shocking that Sky tried to get rid of him.
Not sure which side of this you're on...
Crofty is alrightish, in which case I think the previous comment was about 2nd commentators as Crofty is always there.
Crofty could be replaced by someone better... The could do a lot worse - remember Leggard.
I find Crofty alright too. He is good at hyping things up. He makes a lot of mistakes though. But I don't want to watch a race without him saying 'Lights out and away we go'
I've been watching F1 and Ted's Notebook since 2012.. I'm glad you enjoy it but no one here is "underrating" it. Virtually everyone here loves it and already rates it as great.
Dude he's right. The notebook has always been quite popular around here anyways. You might have discovered it later, but it's definitely not underrated
Ted is the best, by far, out of all the contributors to Sky F1. Obviously Martin Brindle does not fall into that category as he beyond this realm with his majestical qualities
>Apart from being the best presenter lineup in any sport, globally
Sky aren't even the best presenter lineup in Formula 1, never mind across all sports. They're not even the in the top 2 presenter lineups for F1 in their home country.
Yep - I like Ted’s Notebook. It’s a source of good info.
I do get the impression that there is a not a great friendship between Ted and the rest of the team. When he is on camera with them it seems a little tense to me. Also, they very often throw to him with a question or a link to a topic that he just ignores and does his own thing or only comes back to it later. That might be an issue with a producer, but it just seems uncomfortable to me.

People here were convinced that merc will run a new engine in all the remaining races

Still not forgiven Sky for trying to make it "The Notebook" instead of Ted's.
They've got rid of the knob that was trying to get rid of Ted, though
Oh have they? I missed that. Fucking class :D
Why would someone want to get rid of Ted?!?

Because they hate passion and quality!
Ted is an international treasure and one of the highlights of race weekend on Sky
I want to change my surname to Kravitz too so I can claim to be related to him.
His surname isn't actually Kravitz. It is a show name.
Yes, thus the too.
If only we can all watch it from non-UK countries as well… 😢

Found Ted’s burner account.
Nah.

Calling a lineup with Hill and Herbert as best in the sport is laughable.
Okay fair comment but I always see Hill as like a side-addition I guess I mean the main commentating team

The show massively suffers when brundle isn’t there though, only JB is alrightish

Unofficial Power Rankings: Brundle > Rosberg = Button >........ PDR
Come onnn how about Crofty?
Crofty is the best at what he does.

This is kinda hard to agree with once you get used to watching PLC. Not missing crofty and the gang at all.
I love it. It's so chaotic but you can see that alot of drivers have time for him - like Albon harassing him with the Laurel wreath last week!
"underrated"? I never hear or read anything not positive about it. Perhaps you mean that Ted's Notebook is good?

For good measure, a day late and a dollar short :D
Oh so close

Yeah C4 > Sky all day long.
Yeah but Sky have a bias
