Not in the last race it wasn't, quick round up and away. That's it.

They could. But then the race wouldn't be live, and they'd get howls of protest from people using live timing etc.

I think Gascoyne is a terrific choice. Clearly the idea was that Coulthard would give the perspective of a driver and would be quite straight and give nifty sound bites. Eddie Jordan was supposed to give the perspective of a team (but he's not exactly what you'd call a normal team boss) and probaly a technical perspective aswell, aswell as being a little bit edgey and a bit of a character.

Gascoyne though will be far more knowledgble especially on the technical side considoring he held high positions at Renault, Toyota and Force India, he only left formula 1 last year and he's still a character but he'll be a lot more reigned in that E Jordan was.

JH has explained that was partly due to most things being covered during the red-flag period, and partly due to them being forced to take shelter in Brawn's hospitality area without their usual equipment. We've been promised an hour-long post-race red button fest this week, so let's see what we get.

Ah so that means I can't Sky+ the race this week either? Damn :p

Is the hour-long post-race only available to Sky digital users?

It's on Virgin cable and probably BT Vision, but I don't think it's on Freeview. Should be on the website though.

Agreed. He did a terrific job working with ITV explaining his strategy calls mid-race.

Sack EJ and bring back Pitbull.

:up: +1 for Gascoyne. He's far more useful and restrained in his style than EJ. The pitlane walk was very well put together, and let us hear from people we don't usually see during a GP weekend.

I think Gacoyne id a good job and im was impressed by him.

although Eddie has already won me over, i dont know what it is, his edge, humour, the banter he has with DC or whatever, I really like him and so will miss him a bit this weekend.

But Gascoyne is a brilliant temporary replacement none the less as he provided great knowledge etc.



had to laugh today when DC entioned his own pink shirt, to which Humphreys replied 'who would wear a pink shirt on the telly 'ay?'

and David tried to hide his embarrasment, but his face after that was hilarious. Thank you JH and DC, another funny moment from the Beeb-team
