I'm surprised this has been missed until now - brilliant news! We just need Murray Walker back to make it feel like the good old days

I saw it this morning. I don't miss Murray though. Maybe this will finally "Stop the Cock" though

Excellent no more adverts
More boring racing

Not too sure what "exciting" plans the BBC will have. Let's hope it is a Wacky Races theme!!

Murray Walker is an institution and I don't want to mock him, however he was loosing it 10 years ago so god knows what he'll be like now. I think I heard him on F1 ITV last season and he was in a complete muddle

Sad to see ITV lose it tbh.

They moved the spectical on considerably from the old BBC coverage. Let's face it, the BBC couldn't give a shit about F1 when they had the rights.

They have a lot to live up to but I honestly believe the 'new' BBC can make a real good show out of it.







Oh, and I can't wait for the themetune to come back on air

Dum dum dum
Dum dum dum, dum dee dum dee dum dum...
