I think Naiomi is still finding her feet, she'll come good. After all, she's a driver, not a media person, so she has a steep learning curve.
She’s an occasional driver of GT cars with a few F4 outings. I wouldn’t mind her being used in the same “reporter” role as Ted, Pinkham and Brookes. However Sky seem to be trying to push her into the SME role which is a bit of a stretch.
Why can't she be? She almost certainly has more knowledge than the vast majority of armchair experts on forums. She has driven formula cars and she is able to talk to the drivers and mechanics.
As I said I have no problem with her filling the informed reporter role which is the role you’re describing.
Unfortunately Sky are using her as an SME alongside Davidson, di Resta, Hill, Button which it’s clear she isn’t, and it’s a bit embarrassing. There was a toe curling technical segment a couple of weekends ago with Schiff and di Resta being alternately asked questions by Lazenby and Schiff being given twice the air time talking a lot while and saying very little. No fan of di Resta usually but his face was priceless…
