Jake, you wont be missed. F1 Forum should be interesting with Lee keeping EJ, DC and MB in check.

I think Jake does a good job to be honest, not saying Lee won't do as good a job and be easy on the eyes but its probably a bit harsh to say Jake won't be missed.

Legard on the other hand, I've tried not to let him bother me but his constant interruptions are really getting annoying now.

Did anyone hear Jake on radio1 before the German grand prix? I sent a text saying "pleasse tell him he's doing a cracking job" and Chris moyles read it to him - I was oddly chuffed about that.

Anyway, I agree Jake's superb in that role and I think Lee is good in her role. Not sure how she'd transfer over, to be honest, will be interesting to see though!

I actually quite like Jake. He seems to be a genuine F1 fan.
Agreed. I really like Jake and think he does a very good job. Certainly streets ahead of Rim Rosenthal and Steve Rider.

Jake, DC and EJ all do a fantastic job.

However, EJ is the main man. I didn't get him at first, but now I realise he is streets ahead of everyone else.

Disagree. He's doing a top notch job. That's not to say McKenzie won't either.

I must confess, I'm slowly warming to him.

Get in! I'm looking forward to this! She's pretty tasty but knows her stuff too! Will miss Jake though!

I would also like to add, how is DC going to concentrate in the F1 forum and not try it on with Lee?

Not sure if this is the usual Daily Mail's pack of lies. I feel the same as most of you; I think Jake is doing a really good job and could see him as the long-term stalwart of F1. If it is true however, he will be getting a good (looking) replacement. Pleasant.

When I said "Jake, you wont be missed" I only meant it in a fashion that we get to see the lovely L McKenzie more. Jake IS a very good host. Does well at interviews and the general circus that is the BBC F1 show. Seems to keep the Style Icons in check.

Definately a better host that Rosenthal or Rider (I feel sorry for Rider who was bumped into doing BTCC coverage)

Hmmm.

It is a good thing that the BBC are assessing their staff and are getting a back up in place, it's a shame they can't do it in other areas too. A new partner for Martin Brundle, for us to assess perhaps?

It's a shame they don't give Ted a go at commentating.

Mind you, the beeb seem to be sooo protective of Legard that they would probably put some C nt like Micheal Winner in the commentary box just so the audience would be asking for Legard back.

Isn't that what they did with James Allen? hehe

I was not a fan of Jake at first. Far too much of the school captain of every sport and all round jock about him for me. That said I have to say he is doing a very good job and I'm starting to appreciate more than just his technical skills.

Re Slimey Steve. If you knew more about the man away from the camera you'd know that sorrow is one of the last emotions that should ever be wasted on the odious scumbag.

I do like her (and Jake) but it annoys me when she asks questions that imply the answer too much.
But DC does that often too.

It seems to be all-pervasive in news and interviews these days. Next time you watch the news, watch the anchor feed the reporter.
