I’ve been reading lots of news stories and rumours regarding next year’s commentating/presenting team, and this is what I’ve come up with so far. Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, except that fact that Jake Humphrey will stay at BBC.
BBC
David Coulthard (pundit commentator/presenter) – 1 year contract remaining?
Jake Humphrey (anchor presenter) – confirmed this himself on Twitter
Eddie Jordan (pundit presenter) – no links to Sky, so likely he’ll stay
Lee McKenzie (pit-lane reporter) – as above
Sky
David Croft (lead commentator) – strong links to Sky
Martin Brundle (pundit commentator/presenter) – as above
Simon Lazenby (anchor presenter) – lots of rumours, makes sense
Nigel Mansell (pundit presenter) – rumours, and Sky would need a pundit
Ted Kravitz (pit-lane reporter) – strong rumours
Steve Rider (?) – rumours, not sure
Assuming this is correct, this leaves the BBC somewhat depleted. The BBC needs a lead commentator- could this be an opportunity for James Allen or Anthony Davidson, or even Legard?
