F1 Fanatic

Given that he used to be the analyst commentator alongside Steve Slater at ESPN Star Sports’ F1 coverage; I wonder who’s going to be taking his place at ESPN.

@raymondu999 I’m at the Autosport show today, I’ll ask Steve Slater if I see him, I’ve seen him here before.

At first I thought Anderson was going to become James Allen’s co-commentator on the radio, because that position still seems to be open, but that BBC article doesn’t say exactly what he will be contributing.

Also, they still haven’t cleared up what sort of coverage the Canadian and US Grands Prix will be getting, referring to the highlights for only the European and Far Eastern races.

@George That would be a waste of talent methinks. Anderson is an experienced tech director and would be a lot of value explaining technical concepts to more general audiences. He was previously the color commentator for ESPN Star Sports alongside Steve Slater so I would think that Ant Davidson’s old job, as @Estesark said, would be a better fit.

Ted’s an alright bloke; and he knows a lot of the folks in the paddock who can tell him things; but to be honest he doesn’t have the best understanding of all things technical. I like him for his insights; but not for his analysis. Mind you; he’s not the only journalist/reporter figure to try to educate people on technical aspects of F1 despite being wrong about a lot of these things.

I wonder if the use of the word “they” is by way of casual talk; or if it means he’ll have 2 colour comms people. Hmmm. They do have Alex Yoong on their payroll. I wonder if it’ll be him. Anyone remember Yoong? :P
