I wonder which of Murray's mates was listening to the show and decided to stitch him up... I reckon James Allen :)

Dave,
Brilliant! Thanks for that. That's my drive home tonight sorted :D

It was indeed perfect for my drive home! One of the main themes being 'why are McLaren so slow?!'

Fortunately I saw Jake mention it - it was a really good programme well done 5 live

Part one of a preview show (video too this time!) with Jake, EJ, DC and - I guess I now have to call him MB.

They're - rightly - not impressed with the new McLaren!

There's a rumour doing the rounds that the BBC is looking to get rid of it's F1 coverage from 2014 due to cost cutting.

This cannot be allowed to happen!

Could this be Auntie attempting to play Bernard Charles at his own game - as in, you know we have given you the best form of coverage you could hope for in the UK, now drop your price or be forced to hand it back to sub-standard commercial TV. We've been spoiled with the quality, light years ahead of ITV's half hearted tripe - the Beeb just wants it cheaper.

Well, I hope so, anyway!

I hope so too! ITV seemingly aren't interested any more, they want the football. The BBC is the only reasonable home for it.
