Good news.

As for a replacement, surely there is someone who understands F1 and motorsport in general and can commentate?

Charlie Cox is OK but too much of the half-witted punning for me.

Normally I might find that irritating, but it took every ounce of strength I have not to requote all that!

I'll take the job on. It's a dirty job, but...

It needs someone who can articulate the details to the layman, not dumb it down, EXPLAIN. The layman is the majority, we are the minority, in terms of the TV watching audience.

In fairness he was quite good when he did the BTCC I seem to remember. I can just imagine how his catchphrases would go down amongst F1 fans though!! "He needed that like a third armpit!"

Never really jumped into this debate as I never had any problem with James Allen and don't really "hear" Legard.

I've also come to the conclusion that unless the second name is Walker, and the first Murray, whoever takes over is doomed to fail.

FWIW: I'd stick Croft in the chair next to Brundle and swap Coulthard with Davidson.

This, absolutely. Although DC is good value so would be happy with the Crofty swap.

Crofty.

Had the 5 live team (with Chandok not Ant) on Kangaroo.tv at Monza. It was good commentary.

Edited to add - also like Ant Davidson as the expert pundit. Ideally though both Ant and Karun will have drives next year and won't need to commentate.

For a laugh, they could give it to Briatore.
