Good news on BBC F1 coverage.

Looks a good start with DC and Brundle on the team.

Hope DC will be at the gp's though, bit of a waste if he is stuck in London.

Or heard!

Sounds like it's going to be bad. No budget is the first revelation and will we get Brundle during the races as we do know???. Despite "the cock" at least ITV sent people out to the races and had them in the pits.

I disagree. ITV dont do alot with their budget now if it is big, just fly lots of people about! No adverts will be great and I think the team look good.

The link states Brundle will be in the commentary box with Legard

Well that article does say that Brundle will be commentating during the races so I guess so.

Budget is not all - it all rather depends upon how it`s spent.

GOod news on the link - I'm glad Brundle is being retained in a commentary role.

I really can't wait for it, having no adverts for the first time in 12 years will be amazing. Also, I really hope we have The Chain as the intro music again, unmolested, un-remixed, in it's original form:

Doooooooooooo do do doooo do do deedle dee dommmmmmmmmmmmm!

Wooo!

I Believe that the BBC said when the news broke that they were getting the rights that they would be broadcasting the races in HD. They will also make use of the red button and iPlayer, and possibly mobile content too.

If they must have Brundle in there I hope DC mentions when Brundle is getting full of himself (like he always does) that I did win 13 GP's Martin, sorry how many did you win again?........................

Looks like a good line up apart from?

"Jake Humphrey, the youngest ever presenter to host Football Focus and Match of the Day and who has also enjoyed stints on both CBBC at The Fame Academy and BAMZOOKi."

Who?

If they have anyone associated with that stupid game with Balls they should all be SHOT.

If so, I hope that Brundle then points out how many years Coulthard was in one of the best cars on the grid, and asks if 13 wins was the best that he could have done.

Someone post pics of the female presenter?

Anyone involved in the Fame Academy should be shot on sight?

My thoughts exactly so a quick Google: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/biographies/biogs...

At least cars is in his list of interests but way down the list below cycling and reading.

You can just hear it now " And Massa's pass on Hamilton is as sweet as Chris Boardman listening to Dido as he wins the Tour De France for the tenth time"

Not interested in who presents, speaks, makes films. Am interested in no ad breaks. What else matters. If all of us who post are such experts and we don't like Jake, don't watch him. He will not be in vision whilst the race is on, what's the problem. Personally, having seen him presenting at the Olympics, he ain't bad at what he does.
