The Italian men joked vulgarly on live broadcast.
Sky Sports’ Federica Masolin and Davide Valsecchi worked in the F1 pit together already in 2016. PDO
TV giant Sky Sports has shelved two of its Italian experts who made lewd comments on live TV during the Spanish F1 weekend.
The situation happened when the commentators Matteo Bobbi and Davide Valsecchi were analyzing the events of the race – Bobbi in the studio and Valsecchi in the pit as a reporter by Federica Masolini with.
Bobbi’s attention was drawn to the women standing behind Valsecchi in the pit. He told his colleague that if he turned around, he would find a great “upgrade package”.
In the F1 series, upgrade packages refer to new car parts with which the teams try to improve their drivers.
Valsecchi responded to the tasteless joke even more rudely.
– I already know them, but they have told me that I cannot test them. So I have to raise my hand, the commentator bellowed the British newspaper Express by.
Masolin, who was watching the men’s jokes from the side, was shocked by what he heard.
– Could we watch interviews in between instead of these two? Let’s hear what Carlos Sainz has to say. I’m censoring you two now, Masolin plotted.
After Sainz’s interview, Masolin read to Bobbi and Valsecchi the angry feedback from the viewer. The viewer suspected that the men’s wives were disappointed by what they saw. Bobbi admitted she understood.
– When I get home, I’ll probably get my back, he said.

Both Bobbi and Valsecchi later apologized for their remarks.
