Former F1 driver Martin Brundle has confirmed that he will be joining the BBC’s commentating team next year. The series will be shown on the BBC in 2009 and award-winning commentator Brundle delighted race fans last night by revealing he will also be moving.
Brundle told guests at the Autocar Awards, at London's Royal Horticultural Hall, that he had considered quitting F1 presenting before agreeing to join the BBC. ‘I'm delighted to be able to tell you all that I'll be joining the BBC next year,' he said.
‘I've been commentating on Formula One for the past dozen years, and I briefly considered calling it a day. But in the end I decided to take up the BBC's offer and I'm now very excited about working for them next year.’ According to reports David Coulthard, the Scot who retired from Formula One this year, could also be joining the BBC as a race pundit.
