    No , no. I don’t dislike Murray Walker. I just never thought he was as good a commentator as some other people did. After forty years, I still remember how infuriated I used to get at his mistakes although I acknowledge that he used to work under some tricky conditions, sometimes. I think he’s only on this list to add some sort of gravity. You’re right, of course. He will just be offering occasional short pieces.

    Not at all bad. Maybe a bit of the BBC’s approach to Top Gear – throw enough names at it and some will be a hit, but I’m sure we won’t see all of them every race. DC, Edwards, Lee, Chandhok, Webber. Great news.

    Not so great – Prost, Walker, Senna, Wolff. Can’t imagine what Prost in particular is going to bring to it. Likewise with young Hamilton.

    Bitter disappointment – Jordan. Thought we’d seen the last of that ego, although when it goes up against that of Webber there may be a few sparks. Biggest relief – the omission of Threetimeslemanswinnerallanmcnish.

    Dunno about Jones. Always thought of him as a lightweight rentapresenter, but I won’t be negative for now. I didn’t think much of Jake until he actually started the job, and he was excellent.
