I always really liked John Watson as a commentator. The Edwards/Watson combination on Eurosport I found to be very good. I wouldn't mind seeing that combination again if I'm honest. Apart from this years BBC commentary I still thinkt he Edwards/Watson combination was the best overall I've experienced on F1.Quote:

I'm delighted for Ben and his charming wife. They deserve this and I am sure Mr Edwards will be an instant success with the British public.
Largely helped by Jonathan Palmer having to step up for the Beeb.Quote:

Edwards will do a good job. He is a better commentator than Allen or Legard. But I personally would have preferred Charlie Cox.
Cox by Name, cox by nature. the guy is a complete tail... he would actually ruin F1 for those of us watching it on the BBC. Have you ever listened to his MotoGP commentary?Quote:

Jake Humphrey presents a review of the 2011 Formula 1 season, in which one driver yet again proved to be the dominant force from start to finish. Sebastian Vettel blew the grid away as he stormed to his second successive world title in his unstoppable Red Bull RB7 car. Winning five out of the first six races gave him an impregnable lead, and he cruised through the rest of the season to win the title by an enormous margin.
One rumoured name drops out of the frame for any kind of BBC role in 2012:
