God I want a D type.....

Also, those little F3 cars sound cracking on board.

[Crafty_]

Nice little jaunt in the D-Type, must be fantastic to do that. I need to be rich so I can wander around doing interesting things like that.

More fun from WTF1 - and you thought he was dangerous in a car...


Someone posted this under it "Later that day..."

That piece with Martin Brundle in the TV camera helicopter was brilliant.

I like listening to her, always pretty open and honest.

She always has that lovely girl next door English rose aura about her.

Prefer Lee Mck's presentation style though.

Adding a bit of humour to the commentary is one thing but wtf does he know about F1?

I'm Not Going Out on that ...

All three of the BBC's female F1 presenters are what I would describe as "hands on" females.

Looks like it, which is good news as we can get someone in her place who knows what they are talking about ( as good as she is at being a lead presenter it always feels like there a gap in the knowledge ).

She's the anchor, and just about every British ex-driver seems to be a shoe in as a pundit these days; surely they've got enough knowledge between them (well, apart from DC).

It's not just her lack of knowledge; something about her delivery just really grates, particularly when having to do stuff on the hoof rather than scripted. I vote Lee McKenzie - I thought she did a top job when she filled in for Jake Humphrey back in 2012, and does a good job fronting the coverage of the (very few these days) free practice sessions the BBC shows.

I've always said that (when she started) Suzi was a size 8/10 and was the medias perception of an average womans size. Where as Lee was a size 14/16 and was actually the size of an average woman.

Lee should have got the job as with the exception of nerves she done a fine job when covering for Jake.

Please take the microphone from Eddie.

[TheInternet]

EJ's seems to be doing a good Bernie impression during this abysmal gridwalk.

[fulham911club]

EJ is hopeless on the grid walk - why don't the producers call him in? It's embarrassing !

[hdrflow]

Maybe he can bump into another driver for another interview

[211lover]

Probably worst grid walk ive seen. Phew, back to Lee.

[Hungrymc]

He has to go. Is it the BBC being controversial, keeping him on as he winds everyone up so at least we are talking about it?

[Alicatt1]

Thank goodness they got the mic from Eddy.... oh no he's back again

[LHRFlightman]

Jesus, this gridwalk is embarrassing.
