Ladies and gentlemen, James Allen has left the building. The BBC has announced its F1 commentary line-up for 2009, and Mr Allen is not on the teamsheet. Want the full line-up?
In the midfield holding role, we’ve got Jonathan Legard (of Five Live radio-type fame) and Martin Brundle (of ITV and pikey-bashing fame) on commentary duties.
At the back (nope, going to stop with the football-position analogy now before it snaps and has someone’s eye out), the studio-anchoring-people will be Jake Humphrey – you’ll have seen him on the BBC during Euro 2008 and the Olympics – and, as we’ve been predicting for about the last 17 years, David ‘DC’ Coulthard.
A bit of a shock has arrived in the form of ex-Jordan team boss Eddie Jordan who’ll be a pundit with DC alongside Humphrey.
On pitlane duties will be Ted Kravitz – poached in an audacious end-of-the-transfer-window manoeuvre from ITV – and some bloke called Lee McKenzie, who appears to actually be a woman.
And commentry legend Murray Walker will be a regular appearance on the BBC’s F1 site too. Go go go!
Sounds good to us.

We need the F1 equivalent of John MacEnroe!

I would really be looking forward to this season’s coverage of F1 if only it wasn’t for that tw*t Jake Humphrey. He’s so thick he can’t even buy a shirt that fits him. Jake; you are fat; so don’t buy slimfit shirts.

What a CON.
Any team except Ferrari would be hauled over the coals by the FIA for this blatant cynical interference of the result of an international sporting event.
Ferrari will get away with it because the FIA are scared to upset them again ,after Alonso’s tantrum at being given a drive through for overtaking at the chicane two weeks ago.
Our Sport is now as corrupt as boxing, and it stinks.
I won’t be too bothered about NOT watching it in
future. Pete Birkett – Malvern

Another whitewash??? Only because the FIA don’t have the cojones to stand up to the foot stamping tantrums of Alonso and the Money behind Ferrari. Any other team and their driver would be banned from F1 for weeks. Ferrari and Alonso. The FIA will fall over themselves to come up with some limp wristed response.
This is an International sport, it should be against “International Law” never mind the FIA laws to interfere with a result to suit the selfish reasons of a company boss. F1 now has a corrupt stink about it. This will de the sport a damage that could even start it’s decline. Without supporters there will be no Sport. I foe one have lost enthusiasm for the rest of the season. Pete Birkett – Malvern

LEWIS HAMILTON “GROW UP” MONACO MOANER ON 2 OCCASIONS HE SHOVES HIS NOSE INTO AN EVER CLOSING SPACE TOO LATE AND MOANS WHEN HE GETS PUNISHED.
