i've heard that dc is joining the line up.

rumour had it that he wasn't going to be driving on sunday - bet they're glad he did now! had anyone else heard this?

[Eric Mc]

Expect this topic to be moved.

..promting bourdais? don't know why he deserves it..

heard nothing but they better hire brundle. i don't mind thingy pit man and i have got used to louise and her bionic arm.

whilst i am sure he's a nice chap mark 'estuary' blundell isn't good on tv and ryder is no better than count von count (although i am sure he wasn't this bad when he was on BBC??).

i'd swap james "the c0ck" allam for simon toff who used to/may still do the radio commentary and who writes in c&sc amongst other places.

We use English here on PH (at least, most of the time)

I would like to see:

Commentary Box
Martin Brundle
Mark Blundell (Give him a change at least)

Pit Lane
Ted Cravitz (Cant stand Louise)
Steve Ryder Cup

You're missing Sid Waddell, and any South American football commentator....

Although I like Brundle, he would not make a good commentator. Ben Edwards or David Croft would do.

Please no one from Top Gear unless they can do it properly and not ps about.

I hope Murray Walker gets a cameo at least

Actually, I'd never thought of that, but I genuinely think that Hammond could be a good addition to the crew.

As an excersise in getting viewers, he'd certainly attract more females (not that that interests me) but he's throroughly enthusiastic about cars, and has driven one (albeit poorly )

The experienced pros and their technical ability coupled with Richard Hammond and his light hearted persona, I think may go well together.

JC would not suit the seriousness of F1
JM would not be lively enough

Just a thought of course.

[stevejh]

Hammond is always saying on TG that he has absolutely no interest in F1 so might not be the best choice.

[motormania]

I'm sorry, but the last thing we need is anyone from Top Gear. They are great at what they do, but don't put them in a role which is not suited to them - look at Gordon Brown!!

I think the Beeb should make a call to Lee McKenzie and have her as the anchor, with Brundle in the comms box. Get some fresh new talent to run around the pits and then it's just the choice of co-commentator... that's the hardest problem.

[FourWheelDrift]

Steve Coogan is a Petrolhead maybe he could do the Anchorman's role as Alan Partridge

[Galileo]

I know I'm going to get flamed for this but am I really the only one on hear who thinks that the hamster is a bit of a tit? It would possibly be the worst thing the BBC ever did putting him on the F1 show. He has no knowledge of racing what so ever.

My choice would be the two chaps who do the MotoGp commentating for Eurosport. I dont know their names, maybe someone could enlighten me. If they included Ben Edwards in that line up they would make F1 seem so exciting the popularity would ski-rocket.

[philthy]

Please not Mark Blundell.
I want to slap the bd purple every time he throws an erroneous "what" into the middle of a sentence.

ie, something like "Lewis should have noticed the red light, like what Kimi did.

Learn to speak english you fking idiot !

[zac510]

Charlie Cox (the BBC2 MotoGP commentator) has just signed up to do the Australian Top Gear - presume that will film in the summer so not clash with motoGP.

Anyway haven't the Beeb already said they're not carrying over the commentators from this year? Thus most of the speculation in this thread is quite wide of the mark. Based on that from the BBC, their commentators are most likely to be the guys in Five Live.

[schuey]

Ben Edwards in the box with Martin Brundle would be good. He was always good when eurosport used to show the F1.

[jules_s]

I'd like to see Martin Brundle with a series of guest presenters in the first year. There are plenty of ex F1 drivers out there, and I would like to hear their views on the current state of F1.
