Bernie has enhanced Sky’s F1 coverage exponentially just on this first race weekend alone. I’ve learnt more this weekend listening to Bernie‘a insights than for a long long time.
@@sonsofblackwoodmc4570 that got stuck in your head and you didn't notice the rest. even martin was impressed a couple of times. and why do we have to be so mean?
@@sonsofblackwoodmc4570 I was looking for you on the pit wall all race long. Couldn’t see you. Funny that. She’s probably forgotten more than you know about F1 fella, you’d be wise to listen to her rather than dropping snide comments 😘
@@sonsofblackwoodmc4570 She's inexperienced and not used to speaking on air in front of millions, so obviously and inevitably she's going to trip over words and repeat phrases. Live speaking like that isn't natural and everyone sucks at first. Look at how wooden Naomi was initially and now she's much better and more fluid as she's gotten more comfortable. Her valuable insight is what you should be listening to anyway, not how she phrases things. Also, she was never sacked at all from what I could find, she willingly left and opened up her own consultancy firm and has now been hired by Sky.
It's great that Bernie wasn't just there for 1 show. She gave us a great insight into some of the techy stuff that the former drivers don't really know about. Thanks for adding her to your crew.
I agree - during the Austrian Sprint Race grid-walk, Bernie & Ted were paired up, and it must have made some teams nervous as they were pointing at various things and talking into their microphones, it was awesome.
Totally agree her credibility and authority is instantly apparent. This weekend has been reminiscent of the time Jurgen Klopp went on Monday night football - I felt thick afterward as he just took everyone and viewers and all to school. That peak behind the curtain is essential
Before the race she was easy understand. During the race I could hardly understand her. It's something with the mic coupled with me not being a native speaker. Hopefully they'll fix the mic before the next race.
Bernie is a high-quality addition to the team! First time in years I felt like I was actually learning a lot over the weekend! The former drivers are great, but they are also many. It's great to have a more technical perspective. Its one we rarely get. Bernie alone over the weekend added so much to my F1 knowledge, its incredible! Can we see her every race weekend please?
She's absolutely amazing on the broadcast. Great signing. Love the accent also. She's less biased (despite her past experience at AM) than most F1 commentators.
Thought the addition of Bernie has been exceptional. Her insight into what she would be thinking at certain points is really interesting. Delighted with her addition.
Bernie is Sky F1's best signing since Martin Brundle. You've finally signed someone to your team based upon their knowledge and their ability to explain in a way that most viewers can understand, instead of signing someone based upon being a 'big name' or how many diversity boxes they tick.
Great addition to the SKY F1 team! I have been watching F1 since the early nineties and never have heard these kind of educational insights before at this level. Love your accent BTW! ❤
I also have been watching F1 since early 90's, I totally agree with you. Since SkyF1 got Crofty and Martin, I won't watch a GP by anyone else. Now, their whole team is solid, and with Bernie (at the Austrian GP) it's been brought to another level.
I love to hear the input she gives to F1. A great edition to the F1 team. I love to hear what the strategists are think or working on when the race is ongoing. A very Huge Welcome to F1 Sports Bernie
I love the addition of Bernie. If she could speak up a bit, that would be way better. She has given us another perspective from the strategist side which is valuable. Keep up the great work.
She is the best addition to Sky F1 Team, so amazing at picking up small things which sky f1 team has no clue. Only complain want her coverage more for the race.
Bernie is AWESOME addition!!! All of her input for the Austrian GP was SUPERB. The Grid-Walk with Bernie & Ted was fascinating! Would love to see Bernie paired with Martin on a Grid-Walk, or a practice session Pit-Walk.
Welcome Bernie. Great insights from you BUT my friends and I struggled to make out everything you were saying. Not sure what the issue is and hopefully the sound people can sort this out for you and us as it would be a shane if we don't benefit fully from your insights amd input. 👍
Probably able to give insight, however sound level, accent, pronunciation and poor articulation makes it very hard, if not impossible, to make out what's said.
Wait how do you go from someone with an important role in a On location F1 team to a journalist istead of a rival team? That would be a really interesting story
I like the engineers the most. They're very clear and technical with their input, which I appreciate more than just the colorful commentary. Tbh I can just turn the commentary off sometimes bc it's just old dudes joking around and I don't really care. Id like to see more like Bernie brought in that bring current technical insight rather than some guessing old dude that probably should know based on their time in the sport, but doesn't.
I honestly couldn't imagine a better addition. Adding a more logical head to squash the Sky F1 teams' sometimes kooky theories can only be a good thing 😂
Thought she did great this weekend ,I really appreciate the fact they're bringing in mechanically minded people and not just drivers , sad to see Di Resta leave but the show must go on .
Well done Sky Bernie is fantastic we are getting a good insight to what is going on behind the pit wall , I think Bernie would pair very well with Martin Brundle .
Sky needs to provide her with a better quality mic. It sounded like she was falling asleep. I suspect this is to do with the tech instead of her. But good addition to the SS F1 team.
I agree, the Wikipedia page on her is impressive. I kind of wonder if the teams get a little nervous when she's around with a microphone, telling the world some F1 insights that other pundits don't know of. She's awesome!
She is excellent. I have seen some weird hate from what I assume are new F1 fans which makes sense since they don't know a thing about racing in general. This is the best idea Sky has had with bringing someone one with actual knowledge and insight into REALLY what goes on. Fantastic stuff Bernie!
She is giving some good insights. But sometimes she is difficult to understand, which seems to be a mix of her microfone just not beeing loud enough and her accent/dialect.
What a great asset you are as a broadcaster. I learned so much from you during the race although I missed a few words now and then. if possible, please speak a little louder next time. After all you’re standing next to Crofty.
Her insights are very interesting, to have an experienced strategist do commentary is excellent ! My only critical comment is sometimes it’s challenging to understand her, but most of the time I do understand what she’s saying.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her insights this weekend. I like Damon but wasn't particularly happy with him for the few times he interrupted her to say something unrelated.
Ted doesn't do every race (hasnt for years) and did say last race that he would'nt be at Saudi. It's the same with Martin - not everyone does every race.
Welcome, always nice to see a new face. Could she speak up a bit during a race please? Compared to the other presenters/commentators and analysts she's very hard to hear.
Wow, I'm really looking forward to hearing her insights as a data / performance engineer on F1! That's surely gonna give a different perspective and dare I say a more informed one than "just" another former driver!
Finally a female presenter with great knowledge and experience on Sky Sports, and not purely to tick a box. She gave great insight at the race today and didn't need to be fed cues/questions like others on the team.
& thankfully Bernie's no paddock poseur who needs to wear a specially-commisioned Formula 1 logo necklace to add credence to why she's there...unlike others...🤔

Literally said "cat and mouse" to every single maneuvere , there's a reason she's sacked.

Rather than tell us what we are seeing, Bernie Collins is telling is why it's happening. Great addition.
Great signing. Love anyone who can do the nerdy tech and strategy stuff and give away inside secrets.
I agree - during the Austrian Sprint Race grid-walk, Bernie & Ted were paired up, and it must have made some teams nervous as they were pointing at various things and talking into their microphones, it was awesome.
A breath of fresh air compared to some of the others and nice to see someone being hired on merit
Totally agree her credibility and authority is instantly apparent. This weekend has been reminiscent of the time Jurgen Klopp went on Monday night football - I felt thick afterward as he just took everyone and viewers and all to school. That peak behind the curtain is essential
The devil himself
Absolutely, some of the additions in recent years have been nothing short of a box ticking exercise.
You sound like Alan Partridge on a chase 🤨
Haha totally true. The black girl really shouldnt be there as she knows nothing.
Some really interesting insights during the weekend. Great addition
Her voice sounds like a broken radio😂😂
Bernie is such a good hire. She's levelled up the commentary big time and has a wealth of knowledge to share with us. Bravo Sky.
Thoroughly enjoyed Bernie's contribution this weekend. But please Sky, turn up her microphone, it's much quieter than Crofty and Brundle.
Before the race she was easy understand. During the race I could hardly understand her. It's something with the mic coupled with me not being a native speaker. Hopefully they'll fix the mic before the next race.
Totally agree. Louder please
Bernie is awesome!! Please keep Bernie for every race!! Absolute pro
Finally a fresh view from the F1 Sky! 👏🏻
Extraordinary new addition to the Sky team. Absolutely LOVED all her contributions during the weekend.
Bernie is a high-quality addition to the team! First time in years I felt like I was actually learning a lot over the weekend!
The former drivers are great, but they are also many. It's great to have a more technical perspective. Its one we rarely get.

I think Bernie signing to Sky F1 is good.
She’s also very sweet and kind.
The calming voice of F1 ❤
Excellent addition to the team, already brought so many great insights to the coverage. Hope this is a long-term signing!
Thought the addition of Bernie has been exceptional. Her insight into what she would be thinking at certain points is really interesting. Delighted with her addition.
Now this is the type of pundit we need Sky not just there to tick a box and think being 2 secs slows is good
I love her! Those information she gave during the race was awesome!
U Think ?
Great signing, she was a wonderful addition to this weekend and I'm looking forward to her insights throughout the rest of this season
Bernie is Sky F1's best signing since Martin Brundle. You've finally signed someone to your team based upon their knowledge and their ability to explain in a way that most viewers can understand, instead of signing someone based upon being a 'big name' or how many diversity boxes they tick.
Give her all the airtime! I'm so glad someone knows what they are talking about.
Bernie actually knows what she is on about 👍
Bernie is the best thing to come to sky. Fantastic insight to the sport
Great addition to the SKY F1 team! I have been watching F1 since the early nineties and never have heard these kind of educational insights before at this level.
Love your accent BTW! ❤

I thought it was a Cameo. Definitely happy it’s permanent! Much needed analysis needed during the race.
Really interesting insight from Bernie this weekend, she adds a lot to the team.
I love Bernies insights
I LOVE THE ADDITION OF BERNIE, THAT TECHNICAL INSIGHT AND HER GLOW IS COOL 😎 ❤😊
I love to hear the input she gives to F1. A great edition to the F1 team. I love to hear what the strategists are think or working on when the race is ongoing. A very Huge Welcome to F1 Sports Bernie
My 11 year old daughter was so excited to hear Bernie. Both being native Fermanagh ladies. First weekend she sat and watched the whole race with me.
Having someone competent on the program is a breath of fresh air
I love the addition of Bernie. If she could speak up a bit, that would be way better. She has given us another perspective from the strategist side which is valuable. Keep up the great work.
Bernie is a great addition to the coverage. She'll bring a wealth of engineering knowledge to the coverage.

you just need better hearing mate
She isn't used to borderline shouting at all times on the live coverage like Crofty.
Just needs to speak up and be more confident. She'll get there!
@@ScottPC she has good input not mindless filler so it's appreciated
Probably able to give insight, however sound level, accent, pronunciation and poor articulation makes it very hard, if not impossible, to make out what's said.
Well done, Sky. Well done! Looking forward to your insights Bernie! It’s been great so far!
Wait how do you go from someone with an important role in a On location F1 team to a journalist istead of a rival team? That would be a really interesting story
A positive signing in more ways than one. 🙂
Loving Bernie’s commentary. Please have her at every race.
her voice gives me the fuzz idk why but it just feels good to listen to her
hoping to see her commentate more frequently during f1 weekends 💯
She’s absolutely amazing insight so far! Welcome Bernie, glad to hear an Irish accent on Sky!
Northern Irish
She's actually from Northern Ireland 🙂
Excellent new member of the team. Please employ more people of her calibre in the future.
Top top top job Bernie, you have added to the team without doubt. 👏👏👏👏
I like the engineers the most. They're very clear and technical with their input, which I appreciate more than just the colorful commentary. Tbh I can just turn the commentary off sometimes bc it's just old dudes joking around and I don't really care.

Loved her insight this weekend! She’s a great addition!
Getting someone who used to work in the industry is a great move. We got to learn everything that happens behind the scene.
Paul Di Resta needs to come back !!!
Welcome aboard, Bernie!
I honestly couldn't imagine a better addition. Adding a more logical head to squash the Sky F1 teams' sometimes kooky theories can only be a good thing 😂
Thought she did great this weekend ,I really appreciate the fact they're bringing in mechanically minded people and not just drivers , sad to see Di Resta leave but the show must go on .
After all this time I now realize what it meant when Seb was blowing kisses to Bernie.
Simpin for Bernie.
Bernie loved your commentary this weekend!
Well done Sky Bernie is fantastic we are getting a good insight to what is going on behind the pit wall , I think Bernie would pair very well with Martin Brundle .
I totally agree. A Bernie & Martin Grid-Walk, or, maybe a 'Pit-Walk' during a free practice session.
Bernie’s been brilliant this weekend!
Great addition to the team, fascinating to hear from a strategists' perspective.
Amazing addition! Loved her insights
Sky needs to provide her with a better quality mic. It sounded like she was falling asleep. I suspect this is to do with the tech instead of her.
But good addition to the SS F1 team.
i really love her accent 😍 i love it when she comes on in the commentary during grand prix
A pleasure to listen to and to watch. So much knowledge delivered with a great accent. I can see why Bernie was hired !
Very welcome, but Sky needs to mix her voice in better. Because of the higher pitch, it often gets drowned out by the cars.
Great job. The p and q sessions were insightful and truly added to the broadcast.
Good hire... really good.
Great addition to the team. Massive amount of credibility thanks to her engineering background. Looking forward to her input at every race!
I agree, the Wikipedia page on her is impressive. I kind of wonder if the teams get a little nervous when she's around with a microphone, telling the world some F1 insights that other pundits don't know of. She's awesome!

I found Bernie very knowledgeable, and was enjoyable to listen to as well, especially with her accent. Great job! :)
Great !!!! the new adding and great to see her again.
Idky her voice is so calming when watching f1 today
Welcome 🤗!!! She’s brilliant!!
She is giving some good insights.
But sometimes she is difficult to understand, which seems to be a mix of her microfone just not beeing loud enough and her accent/dialect.
Great knowledge from Bernie what an addition sky's coverage is getting stronger and stronger
What a great asset you are as a broadcaster. I learned so much from you during the race although I missed a few words now and then.
if possible, please speak a little louder next time. After all you’re standing next to Crofty.
She is great. But I couldn’t understand a lot of what she was saying during the race.
Such a great addition, a REAL expert to give insight
she needs to raise her voice a bit more you can hardly understand her on the mic
Yeah she's brilliant but as others have said you need to sort her mic levels out during racing.
Sky, put the volume up when she's speaking during the race cant understand a word she's saying
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but she needs to work on projecting her voice. It is way too soft.
She was great, great insights, welcomed addition.
Her insights are very interesting, to have an experienced strategist do commentary is excellent !
My only critical comment is sometimes it’s challenging to understand her, but most of the time I do understand what she’s saying.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her insights this weekend.
I like Damon but wasn't particularly happy with him for the few times he interrupted her to say something unrelated.
Damon didn't seem particularly happy or at ease throughout this race weekend..perhaps it was just being in Saudi that had a downer effect on him...
WHERE IS TED
We are awaiting Lewis' bowel movement, and he should pop out
Ted doesn't do every race (hasnt for years) and did say last race that he would'nt be at Saudi. It's the same with Martin - not everyone does every race.
insulting anorexics
Welcome, always nice to see a new face. Could she speak up a bit during a race please? Compared to the other presenters/commentators and analysts she's very hard to hear.
Fantastic addition to the team. Love her insight!
Harun: "Bernie, what do you think?".
Bernie: "Vorsprung durch technik. Monosodium glutamate. Hondoitedly!".
Great addition to the team!!
Definitely turn volume up when she is on. I don't mean that in a bad way, just that she knowledgeable and I don't want to miss the knowledge.
because she has no social skills
Enjoyed her drip feeding information about the tyres among other things.
Vettel 2:20 - oh no that's him cancelled
As a irish man, I already love her lol
Congrats! I'm not from the UK so can only watch the feed on F1TV, will she be calling in during the race like the other dudes?
Wow, I'm really looking forward to hearing her insights as a data / performance engineer on F1! That's surely gonna give a different perspective and dare I say a more informed one than "just" another former driver!
Bernies insights this last weekend were great. A fantastic addition to the team! (just please dont fire Ted!)
❤❤❤ love the inside information brilliant so far 💕💕 keep it up
Another great addition in a similar type of role would be Blake aka BRRAKE F1 - also another former engineer, this time from Red Bull.
Great contribution so far
Finally a female presenter with great knowledge and experience on Sky Sports, and not purely to tick a box. She gave great insight at the race today and didn't need to be fed cues/questions like others on the team.
I wonder who you could be talking about 🤔🤣🤣
@@sazzycool Simon....the most feminine of the lot😃
Natalie Pinkham!? Rachel Brooks!?
& thankfully Bernie's no paddock poseur who needs to wear a specially-commisioned Formula 1 logo necklace to add credence to why she's there...unlike others...🤔
Best signing you’ll make this decade.
That's some tight accent there :) in a positive manner.
Keep it up! Cheers!
