OFFICIAL: Brundle and Coulthard to form part of new BBC F1 Team

[Spoonbender]

The BBC aired a documentry on Lewis Hamilton this week. The only ITV presenter that featured with his views, yup you guessed it, James Allen!! Only proving that BBC have obviously got contact with him. For those that didn't see it, it's on BBC's iPlayer website.

I don't really think that proves anything, to be honest.

Jonathan Legard showed great insight on Inside Sport and knows his stuff. Don't particularly fondly remember his commentary for 5live.

David Croft is still a preference.

I too think David Croft is better on Five Live than Jonathan Legard was. Still reckon Ben Edwards would be a better bet than either, though.

I hope not, just thought they would have been better getting the views of Martin Brundle, especially if we're all asuming he will be part of their team. Guess we'll just have to wait (hope) and see.

I second that, David Croft's commentary on 5live is top notch, along with that, he also does Darts for the BBC and Boxing on Setanta (he's commentating on Calzaghe v Jones Jnr for them this weekend), so his sporting knowledge. If he were to end up getting the BBC TV commentary on F1 full time, i wont be complaining. But on 5live he has built up a good commentary pairing with Maurice Hamilton and i have a feeling that if Brundle does indeed transfer over to the BBC, then Jonathan Legard will get the nod.

HOW I WOULD LIKE IT TO END UP
PRESENTER/ANALYSTS: Jake Humphrey, David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan
COMMENTATORS: David Croft & Martin Brundle
PIT REPORTER: Holly Samos

HOW IT WILL LIKELY END UP
PRESENTER/ANALYSTS: Jake Humphrey, David Coulthard & Tony Jardine (i have a feeling he'll return)
COMMENTATORS: Jonathan Legard & Martin Brundle
PIT REPORTER: Lee McKenzie

“I briefly considered calling it a day, but in the end I decided to take up the BBC's offer and I am now very excited about working for them next year.”

Great stuff

At least we have one bit confirmed which we know won't be rubbish lol.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

More importantly - when are we going to see Brundle in the Suzuki Liana on Top Gear?
