Welcome Jules, hope you like the site! Legard used to do F1 commentary on BBC Radio 5, he was good, he's been doing football commentary since then. Some more info on him here: BBC’s 2009 F1 team: Legard, Brundle, Coulthard, Humphrey and McKenzie

stevepCambsUK, I believe that the GPS, live timings, rev counters, etc. are all Bernie’s graphics from FOCA. The BBC get the same basic feed that everyone else gets and they then lay their commentary on top (or, in the case of ITV, punch loads of ad breaks in it). The added value bits such as footage for their website, HD, etc. is what they negociate with Bernie.

The basic footage that we’ll get next year is most likely going to be what we’ve had the last few years.

DC has already stated that he will be attending every race in 2009 – so he will be in two places at once (studio and race).
I guess Red Bull really does give him wings !

I will miss Louise Goodman. The rest of the team sounds great especially that of retaining Brundle. Additionally I’m looking forward to hearing insights from Coulthard and Jordan. My only real major gripe is Murray Walker whom I despise intensely. I’d rather hear from James Allen than Murray Walker.

Hmmm, Ted’s notebooks may be fine, but he had a nasty habit with ITV of trying to make the headlines and get teams to rubbish each other when there was no need.
I hope the Beeb will pay close attention to what he says and to whom.

Ted Kravitz will reprise the role of pit lane commentator alongside Lee McKenzie

Martin brundle, and now Ted ?, awesome, I couldn’t be happier.
