commentators

[sgrok]

It could be my cynicism in overdrive, but do commentators take backhanders from over-enthusiastic PRs/teams to mention certain drivers more than others?

If not then perhaps the silverstone ff race should have been renamed the Mike Conway Trailblaze, as it seems according to the commentators he was the only man on the track at the weekend.

I've also heard far too many innacuracies - they basically make things up - and much slagging off of the backmarkers - fair enough they're not race winning material, but don't these commentators understand who pays them? It's the competitors - all of them.

A lot of people listen to commentary - esp on TOCA radio etc, and surely these men have a duty - in fact it's their job - to give fair and accurate description of what is happening on the track?
