Coulthard, Jordan, Walker, Brundle - What a team!

Could this get better?

BBC SPORT | Motorsport | Formula One | Coulthard, Jordan & Brundle join BBC

Karl · 24th November 2008

It's a good lineup, especially as DC often speaks his mind as does Jordan - who has fantastic experience of the politics and day to day runnings of a team. So glad they kept Brundle though.

And got rid of James Allen.

Glad to see they've got a woman with big breasts involved to keep up the interest

So glad to see the back of James Allen, he made waaaaaay too many mistakes, used to be screaming at the TV that he'd got it wrong or missed it.

So did Murray Walker by the end of his tenure though :-( Probably wise not to have him doing full on commentary. Good to see they kept the female element in there too, but I kind of wished they'd got Vicky Butler Henderson in the mix though, there is just something about her and her passion for cars that you just don't get anywhere else.

I'm glad they've not got her, she gets right on my tits, sure, she's got enthusiasm - but she's a squeeler - that might be alright elsewhere, but not on the tlly thanks.

DC is a pilchard and should of retired five years ago.

Karl · 24th November 2008

So are you, you should have been thrown back in the ocean as a tidler, but you don't hear us complaining

My missus would agree with you wholeheartedly; all I've been hearing every single race for the last few years from her is "I bet Coulthard will be out soon. Oh see I told you Buzz Lightyear is out again - he should retire you know, he's well past it" | "He is useless, see i'm right" | "Why does he bother, excuses, excuses".
I find that i've often been in agreement, but I can however vouch for the fact that the chap sure has a good eye when it comes to interior design (assuming he actually approved of his hotel in Monaco - I heard he did). Perhaps he should take up a TV career in that instead?

Pleased to see they've retained Ted Kravitz too. Hopefully they'll put him to work writing on the BBC Sport website, his 'Notebook' series of articles on the ITV-F1 site were the best thing there by miles.

Coulthard has done well out of this I think

Karl · 25th November 2008

DC has retired a lot the past few seasons, but when you look back, in 90% of the cases it's some twonk run in to the back of him or t-boned him, or the gearbox blew up.

I had taken to watching on RTL (no adverts) and listening on 5 Live (no James Allen) over the last few years so am pleased about the move to the BBC and Legard.

The proposed new qualifying format also sounds better: F1 : Teams consider new qualifying format - F1 - F1-Live.com if they go ahead with it...

Dont like the look of the new cars though, after all the rumours going around they would resemble those of the late 80s/early 90s I got quite excited but infact they look bloody awful. I guess it doesnt really matter if it does bring back some overtaking though! Still would rather watch NASCAR.
