i've not heard james allen's "commentary" for about 18 months or so but i imagine it's still "HAMILTON HAMILTONHAMILTON HAMILTON HAMILTONHAMILTONHAMILTON HAMILTON OH MY GOD I'M COMING UEEEEEEEEEERGH OOOOOOOOOH HAMILTON HAMILTON HAMILTON HAMILTONHAMILTON HAMILTON HAMILTONHAMILTONHAMILTONHAMILTON HAMILTON"

Rinse and repeat for 90 minutes. Or 120 in the case of the Monaco GP.

# To be fair
I was watching the Monaco race on Premiere Live in Germany and the commentators here have a habit of repeatedly ignoring what's onscreen to tell you what each of the German drivers is up to in the race. Since there's 5 German drivers and the commentators don't wank repeatedly over any one of them (except Rosberg if he's not tearing his car to shreds along the wall, or Sutil in the last race who deserved it) it's nothing like as annoying, but I dread to think what it was like back in Schumacher's hayday.

Nevertheless, I agree. ITV should give Allen the boot right now. Their F1 coverage will be remembered much more fondly for it.

# I don't have a problem
with them keeping you informed of drivers progress, but Raikkonen's bad start was described by JA with, and I quote, "THAT WAS A BRILLIANT MOVE INDEED BY HAMILTON!" and "HAMILTON HAS HAD A DREAM START"

Somehow I doubt Hamilton dreams of going into T1 in 2nd place.

I love* James Allen.

I don't really mind when they go running through where the German drivers are. Our commentators used to do that in the days when they remembered that there's more than one driver on the grid.
