So how would this be any different?
Yeah, it's a very interesting one that you say about that.
There are so few people who, as you were saying about maybe the audience not appreciating the myriad of things that go on in front of a commentator or the nature of the process.
And I said in my answer, well, they don't really have to do that.
They just have to enjoy the Formula One race.
But it does to the aspect that Nelson just spoke about.
it is really useful because so few people know the demands of the job and the demands of the job in this era where you've got lots of timing pages in front of you, lots of information in front of you.
You've got all the social media feedback.
It is very useful being able to go next door and compare notes.
It is useful to lean on someone who's got that rare experience of knowing what it's like.
And there's a proper camaraderie
I find with the TV broadcasters on the gantry of those that, you know, everyone knows how easy it is to get it right and easy to get it wrong.
And it becomes a level of respect for, as I said, your noisy neighbors because this is something that life's work goes into.
It's something that everyone wants to be there.
And I think we all know how easy it is to β
drop the ball I made some dumb mistakes and then as a result you know when it goes well you
you, you cheer for the people when they get it right.
And, and, and you feel for them when they get it wrong.
And that, that applies in formula one and in, in, in sport beyond.
Um, I find the, I find the, the good commentators are classy people behind the scenes.
