Isn't it Ben Edwards who does the A1 GP ? He used to be on Eurosport many moons ago and I thought he was brilliant. Ex racer who had his career cut short by injury IIRC. I was actually surprised that he never got the ITV F1 gig when Murray Walker retired.

Edwards, Brundle & Coulthard....I could actually be persuaded to tune in and watch F1 again :thumbsup

Reckon it is Ben Edwards. I reckon he did F1 on Eurosport when it was on Eurosport and the beeb. Used to watch it on there for the occassional Murray break!

As much as I dislike James Allan, i'm not sure I care much. F1 with NO ADVERTS, it's like a dream come true - seriously case of you don't appreciate it til it's gone!

He's going to be the 'Mark Blundell' figure.

Jonathan Legard will be the commentator and Martin Brundle summariser/co-commentator.

It would seem the team is about as good as you'll get. Even have Muzza back as a blog commentator and Q&A part-timer. Good stuff.

All they need to do is show the same commitment as they do to their MotoGP (with red button usage) and scale it up a bit & we've got a great setup.

Yup, looks a great team. Eddie Jordan and Coulthard will make great pundits, although I will miss Geezer Blundell's mangling of the English language. On qualifying: "Wevver there's something there wot's going to come out of the woodwork in qualifying we'll have to see." For any other Blundell fans more classics here http://www.planetf1.com/story/0,18954,3 ... 49,00.html :D

Can't believe nobody has mentioned yet that Lee Mckenzie is going to be doing the pit-lane interviews etc. :wink:

p.s. if doing a google search at work for Lee Mckenzie, be aware of a porn star called Mckenzie Lee :roll:
