Speed Channel's F1 Announcers-Where Are They?
Just curious, other than Peter Windsor who is roaming the pits and interview room, where are the other three announcers? Are they also at the race venue or are they back in the US doing the commentating by video feed?
Wherever they are, they are much better than the CBS announcers. I like the impromptu interviews Windsors does as he wanders the pits. I also like the collective "Ohhhhh's" when something happens on the track!

Sitting at home in thier underware.
 They are NOT at the track. Sometimes I wonder if they're in the same room with each other.

The one announcer reminds me of Marcus Brody from Indiana Jones - Last crusade. It dawned on me yesterday whan watching the race.

Thanks for the info.
I just started watching (rather taping and watching later rather than 3 AM) F1 races then I realized they never showed the announcers other than Windsor. Figuired they may be up in some studio at 3 AM here in the US doing the commenating. They do a good job and are very enthusiastic!!

The coverage of Niki Lauda's crash was pretty cool. I liked how one of the commentators referred to it as the Grand Pricks (in jest of course).
