Burns Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 It could be “hello Richard Hammond” and “goodbye Gary Lineker” after a dramatic day during which broadcasters battled for Britain’s most popular sports rights. Hammond, the Top Gear presenter who survived a high-speed crash, is in pole position to become the face of Formula One after the BBC reclaimed the sport in a £200 million deal. In a surprise move, ITV dumped Formula One after 12 years, claiming that it was not commercially viable despite the emergence of Lewis Hamilton as a British contender for the world championship. The BBC plans a “brighter, bolder, faster” presentation, screening races live via broadband and mobile phones as well as conventional television. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/ ... 593917.ece
bortaf Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 I dont care who does it as long as they do a good job and TBH anyone other than Martin Brundle will really piss me off, yes get rid of "the cock" JA but brundle had better still be behind the mike !
Trevmk3 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 at least on the BBC it wont have any adverts that always seem to come on when the action is building up, and then miss it due to Schumacher advertising vodaphone and shell
marky4 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 no more bloody adverts in the middle of the race
unclephil Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Think a petition should be started to keep the Brundle. Legend!!
Trevmk3 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Think a petition should be started to keep the Brundle. Legend!! get someone like Suzie Perry doing it, but it would have to be someone else as she does the motoGP and we dont want her off that
zetecmk2 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 i hope they use fleetwood mac's chains again

Admin Vista Posted March 21, 2008 Admin Report Posted March 21, 2008 bring murry walker back Well and truly seconded there mate Thirded, and I want the Old Fleetwood Mac intro too! Murray may have tripped over his own tongue a few times but his enthusiasm for the sport was wonderful to hear. I like Martin Brundles commentary, but Murrays level of excitement in the commentary box was leagues ahead of Martin Brundle and whoever the other non entity is.
pauln Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 bring murry walker back NOOOOOOOOOOO! he does my head in they gotta keep Brundle should be gr8 tho With you there, and Susie Perrys a reason to watch Moto Gp on eurosport (apart from during the adverts).
Mr.Sumo Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 At last , we won"t have to put up with that dick Steve Ryder ....who knows FOOK ALL about F1
jed Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 not the smug hammond please what's to like about the false acting prick!! wtf how can u say that he is entertainin AGREED
Smudger105e Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 I don't think MUrray Walker will do it, he's too old to stand the pace I suspect. He was born 10 October 1923, which makes him something like 85!
GT_Jim Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 anyone but hammond he is good on top gear but isnt professional enough for F1 it would ruin it
