This will look amazing once its done. Its a "making of" for a BBC F1 feature this weekend where Jake goes back in time to interview some old stars about the challenges of Monaco.

I think the sandwich is the better presenter to be honest! :hehe:

Sounds totally awesome. The BBC is really going to town on making Formula 1 great.

I have to say, from the second I seen this. Just genius. A brilliant feature, especially the part at the end made to sound like Hill was commentating on Brawn. It's a real interesting spot they hit on, how this circuit is unlike any other in the way that every seasoned F1 driver has driven on it. Unlike like places like Monza or Spa, that have been on the calendar since the word go and gone under major changes. Monaco remains something of a link between drivers of all generations.

Also, we have to say props to Jake Humphrey. Many people had their doubts, but undoubtly he's doing a top notch job. He's clearly become more and more interested in the sport, and is focused to doing the best job. Plus, he's got great chemistry with DC now, which comes across well on TV. DC as well is getting a nack for this. Now, if only we could replace Eddie. Gazza to return :thumbup:

I agree with everything you say. The BBC coverage is improving at every race and, to be honest, I think the only thing that could hold them back is Eddie Jordan.
