18 years ago, a budding TV superstar brought the 1993 Season Review Video to life. Or Season Weview, as he called it.

I enjoyed his short stint with Brundle during Silverstone qualifying - reminded me of '97 when I started watching.

How to replace Brundle? Impossible. The only commentator that could be worse is James Allen. Anything is an improvement.

You have your right to your opinion, even if you are completely wrong...

Yeah, I'm sensing an undercurrent of my right to an opinion on here dwindling on a daily basis. :rolleyes:

EDIT: Arsey attitude explained via PM. I'm just not used to being wrong - it only happens about once every few years. (That's a bit of self deprecating humour before anyone latches onto this).

I like Brundle.

Same! He is the modern voice of F1, as Murray Walker was before him.

James Allen was everything about bad commentary rolled into one. :vomit:

I was glad to find somebody equally unimpressed by the jabberings of Humphrey & Jordan, but Brundle? Waaat? :eek:

Who's your idea of a good commentator?

Of course, it's all down to personal taste. I liked Martin Brundle, with his gridwalks, features and commentary. I also really enjoy the pundit-team that is Jake Humphrey, Eddie Jordan and David Coulthard... it's full of fun and good banter and has generally proved very popular with viewers.

In the days of Jonathan Legard, people seemed very much against the poor man... saying he made mistakes left right and centre and that he got too excited too quickly. Well, the same can be said of both James Allen and Murray Walker to be honest.... the issue is with the latter.... he did it for so long he became an icon (and rightly so, don't get me wrong!)

Like Legard, Walker muddled things up and made mistakes too (hence the nickname "Muddly Talker"). AND he also got seriously excited at the slightest thing. All this I loved, which is why I probably didn't mind Legard so much. James Allen on the other hand, while possessing all these flaws... was seriously biased towards certain drivers, especially Jenson Button, and that drove me up the wall no end....

Each to their own I suppose.

Murray Walker, Anthony Davidson, David Croft, Steve Parish, Charlie Cox and the chap who commentated on the F3000 coverage when ITV used to show highlights back in the late 90's - his name escapes me but he was excellent.

Jonathan Ross, apparently.

Behave......
