Good to see Ted has been signed too.

And nice to see a huge improvement on ITV's offer of Louise Goodman; Lee McKenzie. She looks a lot better

Also talks rubbish a lot of the time, if he was that good he would still be doing it. He might become as annoying as James Allan, but in a different way. He did give some good talent a chance though.

Thanks for the tip. The nude pics are of a porn star called McKenzie Lee.

Lee McKenzie is the one on the right:


As I said, a huge improvement on Louise Goodman.

Muzzer returns!

"And veteran commentator Murray Walker will return to the BBC as a regular presence on the Sport website.

The 84-year-old, who became a household name during five decades of F1 commentary for the BBC, will be offering his expert insight and perspective on the action and interacting with F1 fans through an online Q&A forum."

It'll be doing articles, not commentating, which is a shame.

I'm glad he's not commentating. He was bloody awful as a commentator. I don't need someone to tell me what I can see for myself on the screen. He is supposed to ADD to what's there, not describe it. And his "murrayisms", whilst funny at first, simply became annoying very quickly.

Will the BBC be going to the circuits with the full team, or just MB, JL, TK and LM? Will the rest ne stuck in a BBC studio in London?

No mention of HDTV broadcast though frown

+1 I don't mind Ted and his Pit-Lane Notebook on ITV-F1.com is actually rather good.

When it switched to BBC, I always thought that the only people I'd want shot of were James Allen, Mark Blundell and Louise Goodman.

The only question mark for me is Jake Humphrey. Seems OK but I don't know how 'F1' he is. I'd have preferred Steve Rider to come over but I guess that'd be too 'samey' for them.

Dismal when she first started being the pit lane reporter on the BSB, not got a lot better.

Diana Binks would have been a better choice.

That's a pretty good line up
Jonathan Legard is great of Radion 5 - knowledgeable and a good commentator
Bit sad to see that Louise Goodman isn't going to be there - but that's because of her history - maybe she decided it was time to move on

Let's hope HD is part of it - I'll end up buying a Freeview box if it does

Ohhh yes. Got to hope the coverage is on BBD HD simulcast with BBC1.

WHY JAKE HUMPHRIES!!!????!!!

the guy is a complete muppet! was aweful on the Olympics because he had little idea what was going on, or who anyone was, i get a feeling his F1 knowledge will be just as poor. And...why do they need a presenter? why not just suffice with 2 racing pundits in DC and Jordan?

Apart from that it all sounds good, getting exciting about 2009 already.
