Shame Louise Goodman isn't being retained.

Obviously being replaced by something prettier, but I somehow doubt that she will posses Louise's actual insight and F1 knowlegde.
She asks drivers what went wrong when they crash. She is f**king useless. And uglier than a bag of smashed arseholes which have been set on fire and put out with a pick-axe.

Hopefully DC will adopt his Sniff Petrol Persona. Remember that the BBC has to maintain its high quota of scottish voices so it'll help in that regard


I quite like DC. He's very articulate (unlike that useless f**kwit Blundell), knows modern F1 probably even better than Brundle, has a good sense of humour, and the respect to get places that a fudd like Lenny Kravitz would be slapped out of.

I think they should get Button to commentate for them too.

FOM need to broadcast it in F1 first before the F1 can send it to us.

classic interview technique and very incisive questioning.

I'd be very suprised if HD wasn't part of the deal. The BBC want to justify their investment in HD by bringing in more content, and Bernie will have wanted to sign up a major broadcaster with a proper free HD channel before making the commitment.

I hope so. It might be the excuse I need to get HD.

Sounds like a half decent team. I'll reserve judgement on Coulthard (will he live up to his Sniff Petrol persona?) but reckon Lee McKenzie should make a decent replacement for Goodman. Certainly she has a sexy voice ...



At least we didn't end up with the Radio 5Live team (Croft, Hamilton, Samos et al) ...
