Yeah that had me too. As a commentator, White is a real drama queen. It only takes a slightly wrinkled mudguard or door mirror knocked off and its like "THERE'S MASSIVE DAMAGE!!" being yelled at you through the TV speakers

One disturbing aspect to Channel 7s coverage was that ugly reminder of their old race telecast ways, via the inclusion of 'non-core celebrity'. Anyone who remembers 7s old telecasts (especially Bathurst) will view with dread their quick return to form, via interrupting a motor race show with inane interviews of completely unrelated (to motorsport) athletic stars or actors or TV show hosts and yes, even descending to the dreaded politician

When interviewed the inevitable question was: "what do you know about motor racing" to which they would ALWAYS reply "I don't know the first thing about it but it looks like fun & I'm having a lovely time here, thank you" .. I mean FFS who gives a damn?

Meanwhile you could hear but not see the race (you were hoping to follow) going on in the background, off screen. I really used to detest Channel 7 for that and no I couldn't give a rats arse what ball-chaser Federer (or whoever it was) has to say about MY sport
