He has raised the gravitas of many legendary moments in the sport with his passionate voice. F1 fans gathered to congratulate F1’s iconic voice as he announced his engagement to Laura Bradley.

“Crofty” has always been secretive about his personal life. However, his relationship with Laura was never one. They both often posted pictures of them together on socials. Laura works for the Aston Martin F1 team as Chief of Guest Services & Hospitality. The passion for F1 surely must have played a role in bringing them both together.

Crofty made the announcement of his engagement with Laura on both Twitter and Instagram. On both socials he posted identical messages that read: I asked, she answered, we’re now engaged. A Christmas Day proposal to my soulmate, thanks for saying yes @lozbradley Bloody love you #soulmate #engaged.
Fans came up with the best of Crofty’s F1 commentary puns to congratulate the couple. Some even posted some naughty responses. One particular user had the best one that read: Must not make fastest pit stop joke on the wedding night.
Have a look at some reactions from Twitter.
Must not make fastest pit stop joke on wedding night

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?
Congratulations but you’re definitely punching above your weight with this lady!

We appreciate this fan showing restraint from making a naughty joke. But does mentioning it nevertheless classify as showing restraint though?
THROUGH GOES CROFTY! UNBELIEVABLE STUFF!! Congratulations to the both of you.
(I was going to go ‘BUT HERE COMES DAVID CROFT!’ but that wording felt… inappropriate 
)
