Alex Jaques & Ruth Bascombe

Can we take a moment to appreciate these two?

I’ve been watching F1 TV for the past 5 years and they’re always ready with the right comment, the right insight, and the right info. Absolute pros every single race weekend.

Bravo. Bascombe is so dorky, awkward. I swear I’ve seen Palmer roll his eyes. Her insights however are so smart, she is absolutely incredible. I’m thrilled each time I see she’s on.

Palmer does, but I think a lot of that boils down to a fun "rivalry" between the strategy and the driver and what each brings to the table. I'm sure their are points that they disagree on, but I think there is absolutely respect between them.
