Legard, Brundle, Coulthard, jordan, kravitz for BBC - Official

[news.bbc.co.uk]

the rest as we thought, but they've kept the ted kravitz move quiet.

i thought louise had more chance of moving across than kravitz, but anyway, not a bad team hopefully

Yawm.... Louise got a new job long ago.

I quite like Kravitz actually, Reading his column on ITV-F1 was quite refreshing as he was one of the people there who wasn't seriously biased But overall I'm not really fussed who is commentating (as long as it ain't Allen) as long as the FIA get off their fat asses and finally drag F1 into the world of HD.

Wonder who'll take over the BTCC coverage though

Not a bad lineup. I'll believe it when I see Australian GP coverage though.

That's good, I quite like Kravitz, now i think about it. Anyone know Lee McKenzie? I haven't really heard of her before, apart from the odd mention on motorsport forums.

She did some work for ITV motorsport, was about as good and relevent as Beverly Turner

Wow, if I'd been the head of BBC, that's the exact team that I would have made. Very happy with this, maybe the BBC are thinking along my wavelength

He rather hilariously got told to STFU by DC, and in DC's ITV column no less, so I still think he's a bit of an airhead.

Still, there's worse places he could be than the pitlane. He could have been moved upstairs, like Allen....

I'm sure McKenzie will be fine. She's part of a family with motorsport in them, and has been around it herself for a few years now, so it's not just some dumb bint getting a job because she's got nipples for DC to tweak, though I'm sure some will come to that conclusion just because she's in an F1 paddock and missing a penis.

Eddie Jordan? Not so sure about that. As in not too keen.

+1. I'm glad Kravitz is staying on. Along with Martin he was the guy I wanted to stay a part of the coverage. V happy now

Eddie Jordan is a curious choice though

What about Clarkson ?

Would've loved it. Just endless amount of criticism from him

But yeah, this line up rules, not sure about Eddie though. I've always liked Kravitz as in he knew what he was doing. Not sure about Lee and that other 5 live dude. But DC and Martin are stay on YAY!

Clarkson did point out on Top Gear that he had been mentioned, and then demonstrated how horribly bad a choice he would have been

Finally Legard, he is a superb commentator, fantastic news.

Does anyone have any recordings/clips of Legard commentating on F1? I really dont recognise the guy's name at all and would like to know what we're all in for

I'll reserve judgement on Eddie Jordan until I see Melbourne but the rest sounds good.

he seems good

Cheers mate! Sounds promising and I think him and Brundle would go together really well. Nice one BBC but I'll reserve my full judgement till I hear it for real. Btw, I found this mock BBC intro which I think is brilliant. I hope the BBC are watching lol.
