Formula One 2011
EJ and Jake will only be doing the full races and the 2 hour show, they will not be at the races that the 40min highlights will be shown.
The sky team is a lot better, the bbc team tbh is rather weak, they need a lead and at the moment there are none in the picture.

Re: Formula One 2011
Where've you seen that Mark? I've seen them say presentation team will be at every race and assumed that meant Jake etc...
Seems like Sky have done what they want to do with tennis, poach the talent from it's rivals and hope it'll gel together.
Not fussed tbh, of the ones that have gone all I'll miss is the grid walk, which I fancy EJ will take a whole new level of cringe next year. As long as they don't bring Legard back I'm happy.

Jake is doing the Olympics so how can he be at the races?
People on a f1 forum have said it, they also got the Sky team right so we will see.
On the 40 min programmes there will be no pre race or after race, just driver interviews.
Dc will be at every race as will others but not EJ and Jake. People have asked Jake on Twitter.
The bbc are after John Watson or Ben, 2 of the worst F1 commentators ever to grace the tv.
Also Steve Ryder will not be the Jake of Sky someone else is doing that.

BBC have signed Ben Edwards as I thought they might.
I 100% will not watch the BBC next year I cannot stand him.

Re: Formula One 2011
Maybe it's just because I've always seen him commentating alongside Tim Harvey (useless man), but I don't mind him too much. The thing that annoys me mostly is the way he reacts to crashes in an over the top "AAAGHHH IT'S CHAOS" manner (see LINK). So I'm used to seeing him do shorter action packed races, so it'll be interesting to see how he deals with the long periods of not much happening in the f1 races. We'll still have DC in the commentary box anyway. He had a shaky start, but as a first year of commentating, I don't think he was too bad.marc said:

Yes thats my problem with him, he starts going into one and you cannot hear or understand a word he is saying.

He used to do F1 digital with John Watson, they were so bad I watched the studio version of it so I did not have to put up with them.
He has the passion yes but 2 hours of him and you need new ears.
This is what they had and now have it again.

Re: Formula One 2011
Dunno about the other guy. Ricciardo, ignoring his two retirements, managed to outrace Liuzzi more times than not. But I suppose it's hard to judge when your car is way down the rankings. Hopefully next year, we'll see clearer evidence. Can't see why they got rid of the other two though. Some nice race pace they had.
