Re: Formula One 2011
Didn't Jake already confirm that he, David and EJ will be back on the BBC next year?
I SO hope they are. I've always had a liking for FI, but this year it went crazy due to the BBC shows. Its been the best thing on TV all year. The pre-race build ups have been brilliant, plus no adverts and very detailed coverage. Shame its could all go to pot now!
Brundle moving has annoyed me already.

Re: Formula One 2011
Nah Ej hasn't been confirmed yet, I get the feelin Sky are paying massively over the odds for both Brundle and he, knowin that those two are the 'cult' figures so to speak that aid the BBC's product. Only issue with EJ is on Sky he's going to be a lot more restricted in what he can say so I imagine behind the scenes they're working on how reliable they think he can be.

Re: Formula One 2011
Hold onto your hats, this is horrible.
Steve Ryder confirmed as anchor.
Eddie Jordan and Blundell are pundits with Brundle, should be announced on Wednesday. Ted Kravitz is over too.
Brundle has made a right tit of himself tonight, Autosport awards and both he and Ryder have been rimmin Sky and slating BBC all night long, Vettel and Button have made tounge in cheek remarks saing how much they love the BBC's coverage.
Not quite sure how tounge in cheek his remarks have been. I think Brundle's just having a laugh but Ryder is being a suck up.
Also, if you can look up Vettel's acceptance speech on Youtube tomorrow, it was absolutely amazing, about fifteen minutes long and he was just cracking jokes, taking the piss out of Button, Ryder, Raikkonen, Schumacher.

Re: Formula One 2011
Vettel is such a legend, I can't see how anyone can dislike him!
It was quite good to be able to watch the awards live. Shows a side to people you rarely see. The BBC/Sky banter was pretty amusing!
I'm not sure I agree with you about Brundle though. I think his reasoning for moving is fairly honest, and understandable really.

I back anyone moving to Sky tbh it's like moving from str to RbR. BBC are the ones to blame for this they agreed to the deal and are putting the Olympics and Rugby 1st.
Brundle has been honest and sorry why should he stay with a sinking ship?
Sky could not get Jake so went for Ryder and he knows the sport he was the man who done F1 in the 80's and 90's for bbc. Sky have got a good team together, apart from Mark B but he does know his stuff he is just boring.
The BBC coverage is going to be average the best people have gone and they are not even getting all the same backstage stuff and in car footage as Sky.

Re: Formula One 2011
Oh my reasons for not liking Brundles move are purely selfish, removing my own feelings on the matter it's a sensible move, more money, more technology and a shinier product.
By all accounts the comments last night by all bar Ryder were in jest, attribute it to 'banter' though I loath the word.
Can't knock the BBC for picking the Olympics over it, more annoying they chose to keep BBC Four over what if I'm right is their biggest viewing figures provider.

Re: Formula One 2011
From what I've heard, the biggest factor is simply the live broadcast. He said he can't bear commentating if it isn't live, which is quite understandable. Along with his apparent passion to make more features and things. The money is an obvious bonus!
I'm with you there! Even though I used it!
Do you not mean BBC Three? BBC Four actually has some good stuff on it. BBC Three is pure trash.

Re: Formula One 2011
I can see where you're coming from. But for quality programming, BBC4 has got it nailed. I think it's because it tends to cater for niche audiences and high class (i.e. science documentaries, history, arts... also Charlie Brooker) that it doesn't get tonnes of recognition for it. And anyway, they'd better not go and cancel Only Connect <3
I hope the BBC can keep Coulthard or some other good presenters for their broadcast. Otherwise I will just be trying to find nice friends with Sky.

Well, there we go.
Brundle, Crofty and Ant in commentary, Ted doing what he does, and some generic Sky people filling in the gaps, along with Steve Rider. No surprises there then!
So BBC have Jake, DC, EJ and Lee McKenzie. Meaning they need to fill lead commentary and pit runner.
They also need to fill two commentary slots on 5Live!
