Probably the most iconic words in F1 in Crofty’s voice, without which no race could start, “It’s lights out and away we go”, appeared many a time in fans’ congratulatory messages.

We often hear Crofty reminding the Sky viewers of the special features they can access while watching the race. Some fans had a field day with those jokes as well.

And how could we let go of his partner Ted Kravitz, who often reports from the pit lane, updating viewers on pit stop timings and all the chaos?

We appreciate this fan showing restraint from making a naughty joke. But does mentioning it nevertheless classify as showing restraint though?

Here is a fan asking for the right congratulations.

Crofty has two sons from his first marriage and Laura has a daughter from hers.
