Jennifer Gow has had a serious stroke. I wish her a full and swift recovery.
Soldato
Agreed, always seems one of the good eggs in the F1 paddock. Best wishes to her 
Mid 40's having a stroke isn't something you expect to have happen!

My brother had a stroke at 40. He was a carpet fitter and injured his neck whilst carrying a carpet which is what caused it.

I can hear the radio calls already.
"Alex, it's James"
"Logan, it's James"

This is fantastic, the interaction, the friendship and the relationship between Jackie and Graham is superb.

Johnny Herbert and Paul Di Resta have been dropped by Sky for 2023.
Soldato
Where's the 'it ain't half hot mum' gif
Sky could drop about 80% of their line up and nothing of value would be lost.

Sky's line-up was getting a bit big anyway - although Herbert seemed to be around for most races last year. I always liked him - glad to see the back of di Resta - his stints commentating were dire.
Personally I'd love to see the back of Rosberg as well.

Boo and yay, in that order.
I liked Johnny, not so keen on Paul.
Agreed. I'm just thankful that he was only occasionally a talking head last year and not actually in the paddock.
/edit
The Sky Sports F1 line-up for 2023 consists of: Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Naomi Schiff, Martin Brundle, Damon Hill, Karun Chandhok, Anthony Davidson, Natalie Pinkham, Ted Kravitz, Danica Patrick, Simon Lazenby, David Croft and Rachel Bäche.
No Rachel Brookes or Billy Monger either? Who is Rachel Bäche? Is that Rachel Brookes with a new name or just a typo?

Was Billy Monger ever on it? He's Channel 4 isn't he? Yeah think that's a typo as she's been listed on other sites
Commissario
I dunno, I've only watched F1 on Sky and I'm sure I've seen him.
Ahh, it could have been doing the post race interviews, in which case it would make sense.
Yes, I've seen Rachel's name correct on other sites so that must have been a typo.
Man of Honour
Ah that makes sense - he's part of Channel 4's normal coverage team - makes sense he would get a shot at the post-race interview
Soldato
Shame Herbert's gone, always liked him as a pundit and offers a lot more than some of those still left in team.
Rather have PDR back, at least he's allowed to be at races
Soldato
Rosberg's inputs are beyond useless. There's a painful delay before he can talk as he's on the phone and all he does is agree with the statements which prompted him to utter something. And when he does start talking he rambles on, leading the commentators to have to cut him off when something interesting happens.
I'd rather have DiResta as commentator every race than Rosberg on the phone for 5 minutes.
