The Best Thing About ITV
Published
By Mr. C.
We've said it before and we'll say it again - the best thing about ITV's F1 coverage is pit reporter Ted Kravitz. Why he hasn't replaced Allen already is anyone's guess.
Anyhow, Ted's come up with another fine post race report on the ITV website. My favourite point is the one he makes about Honda's front wing problems:
It was discovered that the stickers that cover up the front wing pillar bolts on the underneath of the front wing were being peeled back by the front jack when it was pushed under the wing.
These half-peeled stickers then hung down at 90 degrees, fouling the airflow under the car.
I've not heard that from anyone else, including Honda, and it's a great bit of insight. The other thing of note is the following:
The ITV crew loves Toyota as they are the only team in the pit lane to host an annual dinner for our entire production and technical team.
...
And you won’t hear a word said against Toyota from our technicians. Some of our guys now even think the Yaris is a nice-looking car.
Ha. Who says you can't buy love eh? Mind you for a couple of kebabs and bottle of wine, I could be persuaded to say nice something nice about Ralf too.
Just saying.

I think I've said something similar about Kravitz too - he is a decent pitlane reporter and probably would fair better than Allen in the box. He seems less fantastical and more down to earth. Almost an adult in comparison to James...
I actually like the Yaris, simply because it does what it says. I would never own one (Tasted Audi, can never go back), but if I were in the market for a cheap, reliable car and knew nine other owners, I'd be well up for a game of footie.
And it would have to be a seriously decent bottle of Chianti from a well respected vineyard owner before I ever say anything nice about Ralf (and mean it, before you quote me). ;-)
