Will Buxton - Stay or Go
Me, I say go! Dump the guy. He seems to have a bias for and against certain drivers and teams. He often makes stupid comments or inaccurate observations that the other Speed commentators feel need to slap down. He just seems like a tool, so next year I hope they have someone a bit better. Of course next year it probably won't matter as Speed will probably be 24/7 NASCAR... Although today was good: F1, ALMS & Moto.

Meh...no opinion yet for me. Some of his questions have been very insightful. That said, some of his feedback of the "regular guys" has been lacking. Even Bob Varsha called him out on at least one occasion.

^+2 The guy was great at what he did. Personable and very very insightful, particularly when it comes to more technical or detailed issues. Buxton is the Ryan Seacrest of Formula 1. Some of his questions have been good, but many have been equally bad and he seems to want to be provocative.

I've never understood why it always seems to be popular to bash race announcers. When Peter Windsor was doing this job, he was constantly abused.
Personally I don't mind Will, and I appreciate his enthusiasm. To me he reflects the enthusiasm that me or any typical fan might have if given that job.

He's enthusiastic and insightful, whether you disagree or not. We need something in these races to keep us from falling asleep

[QUOTE=Darren;7855764]You mean like when he agreed with the stewards about Vettel's screw up with Button? I think I'm with Will on that one...

I think you may have been watching NASCRAP if you fell asleep during a race yesterday, because there was a lot going on at Spa.
I'd like to see Windsor back on the starting grid and the post race interview room. I don't like Buxton.

NASCAR was actually an exciting race in Montreal.
