I read an interview David Hobbs gave last year in which he said that Varsha has a contract that he could not get out of at Fox. Bob Varsha also said on his Facebook page I think, that Speed and NBC came to an agreement and Bob will be filling in at Malaysia, Spa, and somewhere else this season.

I, for one, welcome him on the NBC payroll for this. It's like getting the band back together.
And one more thing - it seems to me that I heard plenty of commentary and insight from Steve and Dave during the race.

Personally, when Varsha is paired with the rest of the crew, the positives are the longstanding history and comfort level that makes for some jovial race coverage. However, it's a double-edged sword because at times, the old crew is too comfortable and lacking some proper play-by-play style calls. Diffey brings some energy in and, I think, will keep Hobbes and Matchett 'on-track' with the immediate goings-on and play-by-play of the race as it happens.
I'm happy with either crew and happier still that we get to hear both crews over the course of the season.Formula Platypus 2012

And as I watched the F1 race yesterday, all was right with the world again.
