I wish I were alive in the '80s to watch James Hunt booth it up.

Eh, he seems pretty stiff. Not sure he's well suited to camera work.

He's loosened up a bit since the beginning of the Indycar season though.

Solo: David Hobbs

But my favorite pair has to be Dorsey Schroeder and Calvin Fish. Those two are hysterical, explain things well, and always entertain.

Though they still do excellent work separately at Sky and the BBC, Martin Brundle and David Coulthard were great when together at the Beeb.

Also, while he's not in the booth per se, I always enjoys Anthony Davidson's insight on Sky's current broadcast.

David Hobbs, because when I hear his voice I can very quickly imagine the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo flying around Laguna Seca/Columbus/Miami

It isn't the delivery that i enjoy it is the information and candid commentary.
