Yes I know everyone is saying Coulthard would replace him but do you think Coulthard would do well as lead commentator or any TYPE of commentary?
I think no for the following reasons:
1)He has no real commentary experience such as doing a whole race or weekend or practice session or qualifying session or 5 Live commentary.
2)He has been sometimes very bias towards Red Bull this year on the BBC.
3)Him and Brundle in my opinion wouldn`t work well as a commentary team.
Here are my line up suggestions for you guys to vote on:
Choice 4 in the comment box for:
Lead Commentator:Murray Walker
Race Analysist:Martin Brundle
Choice 2 in the comment box for:
Lead Commentator:James Allen
Race Analysist:Martin Brundle
Choice 3 in the comment box for:
Lead Commentator:David Croft
Race Analysist:Martin Brundle and Anthony Davidson
Choice 5 in the comment box for:
Lead Commentator:Ben Edwards
Race Analysist:Martin Brundle and Anthony Davidson
Choice 1 in the comment box for:
Lead Commentator:David Coulthard
Race Analysist:Martin Brundle
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your feedback.

I would like David Croft or Ben Edwards to come in with Brundle, but I definitely don’t want Anthony Davidson in the commentary box.
I agree about Coulthard. I don’t think its a good idea to have a commentator that is employed by one of the teams, and also, two ex-drivers may not give the balance that a Walker, Allen or Legard did.
18th December 2010, 15:59 at 3:59 pm #156661RIISEMemberI think in modern F1 Murray doesn’t fair well, he is far too slow to react to incidents and would quite frankly just be plain annoying.
I would bring back James Allen, but due to his ties at ITV it’s not going to happen. You see people complained about JA but if I recall when it come to strategies for teams and other technical aspects Brundle would ask James questions and he would get it right. And for those who say he was biased to British drivers “OF COURSE HE WAS!!”, it was his duty to be, what did Murray not get a boner when Mansell won a race? I for one would be the first to welcome him back to the comm box.

All 3 sounded great in the commentary box in abu dhabi practice and it worked. Radio would then be left with no commentators, but oh well.
18th December 2010, 21:00 at 9:00 pm #156663ChapmondoParticipantJeremy Clarkson
19th December 2010, 11:47 at 11:47 am #156664NathanBradley92MemberThat would be the funniest thing in the world, but it’ll never happen, due to his already massive commitments
19th December 2010, 11:48 at 11:48 am #156665AndrewTannerParticipantIdeally someone who doesn’t say things like ‘will Fernando get going again?!’ (Spa this year) when his front right was quite literally hanging by a thread.
I think he tries too hard to excite the casual viewer. A blue flag situation is not an overtake…stop pretending it is.
19th December 2010, 12:21 at 12:21 pm #156666Stephen JonesParticipanteh, once again i’m not against legard but i’d go for choice 2..
but since he’s got his itv stuff i’d go for choice 3.. the motogp guy is pretty good
19th December 2010, 12:54 at 12:54 pm #156667electroliteParticipantI vote Craig Charles.
No on a serious note, Croft Davidson and Brundle was be a nice trio. I’ve said before as much as David Coulthard amuses me, I don’t see him getting excited enough to engage the audience if something major happens.
19th December 2010, 12:54 at 12:54 pm #156668RobRMemberChoice 6:
Mark Blundell and Kimi Raikkonen
19th December 2010, 12:56 at 12:56 pm #156669RobRMember@Electrolite: David Coulthard is only amusing to look at.
19th December 2010, 14:23 at 2:23 pm #156670EnigmaParticipantI’m for Allen-Brundle.
19th December 2010, 18:11 at 6:11 pm #156671Tom L.ParticipantRob – Blundell and Raikkonen would be brilliant!
MB: “Is that the same car wot was leading the lap before?”
KR: “Dunno, I was taking a s***!”
