I think the "gang" - bar Ryder and maybe Goodman will end up going over to the BBC tbh.

If not, I still expect them to all be involved somehow... expect BBC to get Brundle, Kravitz too.
Allen, It wouldn't surprise me if he goes too, it's funny the whole campaign, bt you know he isn't THAT bad... is he?

Brundle has to go to the Beeb, Kravitz maybe too. He's the least annoying of the other 3 in-race voices (Louise and James are the other 2, just so we're clear) and what he says is normally useful, intelligent and not annoying.

Blundell I couldn't care less either way. He was good before it became the Hamilton show, but since then he's almost as unbearable as Rider.

I'm glad the coverage has moved back to the BBC. Originally they did a decent, but not fantastic job: sometimes the Grand Prix build-up and analysis was non-existent, but the race coverage was uninterrupted. James Hunt did a good job with Murray as well. Ecclestone mentioned a year or two ago that there was one or two things he was not happy about with ITV, so the change to the BBC does not entirely surprise me. Ecclestone could be changing for the money, but he also said to Brundle that he appreciates the quality of coverage as well. Hopefully that means the BBC will clean up their act from pre-1997. I would like to see Brundle continue commentating, but Allen demoted back to a pitlane reporter. Kravitz deserves a go at commentating, so I would like to see him partner Brundle. Goodman seems to like being a pitlane reporter - that and talking to Coulthard when the Red Bull packs it in for another Grand Prix!

Blundell is actually a very good asset - he's an ex-F1 driver, which makes him of great use (as we have already seen) in a number of the F1 Insight things that he has done alongside Martin Brundle.

Yeah but he keeps getting it wrong and is too opinionated. Brundel is an exF1 driver who does a much better job and sticks to the facts. Why are their names so similar!!

I used to think they were brothers, and they both drove together for Brabham (1991) and Ligier (1993).

(easy mistake to make though)
