After twelve years sitting on ITV1, Formula 1 is finally going back to the BBC. It means, thank goodness, that the coverage will no longer be interrupted by unwelcome advert breaks.
But the best news out of all this (apart from that theme tune) is that it looks likely that from next year, James Allen will not be commentating. Martin “Gridwalk” Brundle is set to cross over, however, but favourite for the main job is David Croft, who currently commentates for BBC Radio 5 Live. Jonathan Ledgard’s name has also been thrown around.
Mark Sharman, the head of ITV Sport, is heading out to Malaysia to tell everyone why they’ve lost their jobs. All he’s got to do is show them a picture of a big pound sign with Bernie Ecclestone’s face on.
Wonder if Bernie’s daughter will be reporting for BBC at all?
