Quit the moaning, both are highly talented and knowledgeable ex drivers. I know those ad breaks take alot of putting up with, but here in New Zealand its a midnite start..the things we put up with!! Boring race tho, roll on Spa

I certainly hope he can provide the information that Mr Brundle often misses.
I still think I will watch on ITV and listen on BBC. At least that way can cope with the AD breaks…..doenst Damon have a monotone voice ZZZZzz

You’re funny, Tommy B! Good choice for ITV. But I don’t know if the chemistry between Damon and James will work.

And why isn’t Brundle always around this time of year? Extended summer vacation, perhaps?

Maybe Martin just needs a sunday off of not listening to James talking BS

Fantastic News!!!!! I had always longed for Damon and Murray in the commentary box, what a partnership that would have been. Guess, I’ll just have to settle for Hill and Allen.

Ollie is probably right but prize for the most interesting guess goes to Andrew…

It’ll be interesting to see how Damon fairs in the commentator box. I believe Brundle occasionally takes part in motor racing events himself, and I seem to remember him missing a race or two a few years back because of Le Mans.

He always misses this one and I’ve always wondered why. Maybe we should all try and ask this question next time it’s question Martin on ITV-F1.

I actually thought that Anthony Davidson was very good last year. He provided a lot of insight, but presumably he’s a bit busy this time out.

Better than the awful pairing of Allen/Blundell, which I was expecting, but the flipside is probably lots of references to Hill’s exploits at the same track in an Arrows-Yamaha in 1997. Wonder if they tried asking Murray – he did a decent job on the radio at Nurburgring. I know he’s trying to be retired, and all that, but was worth a go at least…

Brundle’s banned from entering Hungary after a particularly daring, yet unsuccessful, jewel heist in the late 90s.

He probably just chooses to miss Hungary due to it being the most boring race on the calender, (unless its wet).

Maybe I have a suspicious mind, but this just makes me wonder where Brundle goes at this time each year…

This is great news. Damon is one of motor racing’s more intelligent speakers and I think he’d make a good commentator. Unfortunately, the race itself will probably not provide a lot to talk about, but we can’t have everything…
