Alex Jacques

And obviously, in your role, Ed, you've got a responsibility to maybe upset a few people every once in a while by telling the truth of the story and getting to the point and reflecting that for your audience and for the race.

It's an incredibly knowledgeable audience base, isn't it?

They're expecting the absolute cutting edge of analysis when it comes to Formula One.

So that, I can see how it would happen if you're in the paddock for like,

you know, 40 years as a nature of it.

But, but broadcast wise, every, every TV broadcaster I know just wants it to be an exciting season of Formula One.

And the notion that, you know, I've got a, I've got a French surname no one in the world can pronounce because I've anglicized it.

That's what my family have done.

That's how we say it.

Right.

So like the idea that you would write, ah, you know, and it's shocked.

The guy who's actually called Alex Jacques, but we say Jake's wants a British driver to win.

It's a nonsense.

And we're going out to an international audience.

And yeah, it's a mad old thing, the bias thing.

But then I totally understand it because I will look at comments and, you know, I'm biased towards this person.

I'm anti this person.

And then...

And then I'll watch my football team at Switchtown play.

And then the co-commentator, I'll be like, oh, here we go.
