Agreed. Personally I think it's a load of bull poo poo's

in an earlier post i mentioned costs. on bbc teletext a LABOUR mp, andrew mackinlay, has questioned the costs and said editors should have probed senior managers for details. he also said the announcement was too celebratory and that the money should have been spent on REAL sports.

didn't bernie give the labour party a large sum of money?

A long time ago, and he got the money back, albeit in return for the ban on tobacco advertising being delayed. I don't think this has anything to do with it.

I like the idea of combining Top Gear and F1, but maybe as an extra feature. It would bring a new audience to F1. However, they obviously shouldn't let the F1 coverage turn into a Top Gear joke.

As for commentators, Cox and Brundle would be better than what we have now. Hopefully they don't get Ben Edwards, not because he's bad (he's good), but because I want him for the BTCC.

Will They Show All Of Live Qualifying?

someone start a petiton to stop Richard Hammond becoming the presenter, cant stand the little squirt.

BBC will be showing live qualifying.

Extra recorded and Live action will be available via the red button(uk people know what that means)

Every single grandprix will be availbable to see again via the BBCIplayer for 7 days after the race.

More To The Point Will They Capitalise Every Word!

A large consensus for Charlie Cox. For some reason I think he's better suited to Touring cars.

What I do like about JA is the geeky insights he picks up on and which Martin Brundle can't help agreeing these days, but then again some people think F1 is far too technical sport for most people to enjoy.

The geeky insights that JA picks up on are usually things that he stole from Martin Brundle in the last race.
