Jacke Humphreys

Postby Flynn »

Ever since they cast this idiot as the face of BBC F1 I have wondered why. He isn't knowledgable about Formula 1, backed up by the constant mistakes he makes when commentating, is annoying, rude to the drivers, he even dared to cut off Sir Stirling Moss when talking to him :nono: When I see his stupid mug I just want to smash him in the face, I guess he's only popular with a certain demographic of lady fans because of his handsome face. They could have had one of the guys from ITV, I know there were two ex drivers on their team which I always get mixed up with. Martin Brundle and someone else with a similar sounding name and I couldn't ever tell them apart. They could have gotten him, or Tiff Needel or anyone. So why did they choose this blundering fool?

Well, apart from having a good reason to dislike him (he is a Norwich City supporter) I dont actually mind him. Today for example, along with EJ he has been asking all the questions of Ferrari that people have wanted to ask. And he has also made some good points in the discussions countering Brundle and Coulthard.

Is he? Didnt realise that, he has now gone down a bit in my estimations!
Oh IIRC doesnt Brundle come from King's Lynn, that would explain his like of Narwich.

I can't say that I was overly keen on Jake Humphrey last year when he became the new face of Formula 1 for the BBC. Yes he has made numerous mistakes along the way, but like us all, he is only human, and not perfect. His style of presentation has grown on me, and today he was asking all the right questions, with an amazing degree of professionalism, confidence and knowledge. For the benefit of Flynn, (who can't spell) the former F1 driver and ITV commentator who's name you couldn't remember, is Mark Blundell.

I'd rather listen to JAKE than to Jim Rosenthal.

I agree about Legard there.

I am indifferent to Jake though.

Legard has an orgasm over the slightest thing. It gets very annoying

I think he could talk utter bollocks to Chris Moyles etc and he would still sound midly intelligent.
