anybody recon Jake Humphrey and EJ will do F1 for BBC next year or will they present for BBC and Sky? It will be sad to see the team split up, Jake has his eyes on the Olympics (boring) I have only started back watching F1 since the BBC took over so hopefully they can keep the guys on
tbh I wouldn't be surprised if all of them; EJ, DC, Jake and Brundle deciding to do other things next year and we'll look back at 2011 as the year of the dream team.
Its a shame, I think they work really well togethor, eddie argueing with team bosses, wearing dodgy clothes...it all makes for good television.Quote:

How is this too cautious.
What is Bernie wanting. Apart from more money..
Even more money, wet dreams of money.......Quote:

Or perhaps he heard it differently. Maybe something along the lines of: if it ain't broke, break it, and run away with all the money left behind by the unfortunate losers.
PR BSQuote:

Bernie is regarded as a highly accomplished businessman. Brundle once said that Bernie's remarks are like coded messages.Quote:

It seems people have forgotten that Jake left F1 for a time to do the Commonwealth Games because Jake said he wanted to present the Olympic Games.
