replaced with Coulthard? I'm not sure...
Same here - two former drivers to analyse what's happening and no formal commentator to describe what's happening doesn't sound quite right. I'd be worried that they'd tread on each other's toes rather than complement each other.jamieboy said:

I'd be worried that they'd tread on each other's toes rather than complement each other.I think it will be the best commentating F1 has ever had on tv, just my 2p though.
I would have preferred David Croft or Ben Edwards replacing Legard if I'm honest, but I'm just glad that Legard has gone. As stated above I think that Coulthard will assume Brundle's old role, with Martin becoming the lead commentator. Provided that Coulthard can suddenly be overcome by impartiality and not keep banging on about Red Bull all the time I'm sure he'll do a good job.
God I have that poxy Crash.net website - too many pop-ups, ads and random stuff that doesn't let me read the f'ing thing!
Anyway - surprised. As posted by someone else, I'm not too sure about two ex-drivers who will both surely have a propensity to analyse rather than describe.
I can't believe they haven't given David Croft a shot, who is fantastic.

Within 15 minutes, the Coulthard bashing begins! I'll wait and see, before bhing.
Not meant to be Coulthard bashing at all - I've been pleasantly surprised by how good he's been alongside Jake and Eddie, and I don't even mind his Red Bull bias as much as some seem to.Just wary that he'll be too similar to Brundle for them to work well together - Tom & Jerry works better than Tom & Tom would, Laurel & Hardy works better than Laurel & Laurel would, Robson & Jerome ... ... actually that last one's not such a great example.
I take other people's point that Brundle might shift slightly from pundit to commentator, though, so I'm more than happy to wait and see.
