Both, Toyota and bmw spent half a billion and couldn't match jordans wins or popularity. He can be a willy though.

Nobody else can get Bernie in a headlock on live TV.

As a manager, he was OK, as a commentator, he is annoying. Jake Humphries is pretty good though. I think he, DC and MB work well. Jordan is there so that the others don't get picked on.

[Mr Gearchange]

He is the reason I record the GP and watch it later - just so I can FF through any bits where he is talking..

He, in my mind, is very much the latter.

[Podie]

He has some useful insight and is not afraid to ask direct questions.

Yes, he can be irritating, but I think the BBC coverage is spot on.

I like EJ's team-management insight pov. Balances out the hordes of ex/current drivers they have involved in commentary.

The fact that he is well known and respected in the pitlane helps massively with his touchy-feely personality.

I quite like the guy TBH, but personable-ness to the viewer shouldn;t be that relevant when he is there for technical insight. Being fun to watch/listen to is the job of the anchorman and the lead commentator.

[Use Psychology]

EJ is great because he asks the questions that I most want asked and everyone else is too polite/scared to ask.

[car crazy]

He gave us Katie price, got to love him for that

I swear Jake Humphries is going down hill though.

How many times did he mention "used to be a Fish market" and "Jensons greatest drive" this weekend?

What else was there to talk about though? Certainly not the race...
