I'm glad someone did that.

Such a bs thing to say.. You do it for the fans.. Then jump ship to sky

I'm not sure I like Martin Whitmarsh. He always comes across bitchy to Eddy Jordan. He said "don't worry Eddy, no one ever listens to you anyway!". I know it's light hearted fun but he's always doing that to Eddy, and in fact, you can always see Whitmarsh almost laughing at Jordan even before he's said anything.

You have to remember Eddie Jordan was no pussycat when he was a team owner - no doubt him and Whitmarsh have probably had a few arguments over the years

The commentary team wil have been warned, I'm pretty positive they'll already have contracts being made up to to Sky though.
It's a shame, that there's one who just doesn't care about the job. Could do with hearing a rant about it from Brundle/DC.

Perhaps done on purpose to make a point.

I doubt it, I think Jake is very much on board with the whole idea

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Jake is a BBC drone and will do whatever they tell him to do.

Edit: Saying that though, he's probably paid enough to do it. If it's your career and you've still got many years ahead, why would you crucify yourself? Do what you're told, don't rock the boat, etc...

Gives him time away from F1 to do all the Olympic stuff.

Although, for the live races the BBC show, I suspect the pre and post show bits will be done from a studio somewhere rather than at the track.

i dont see jake moving across to beeing a sky presenter unless he can get football to

 

[Civhb]

To be fair he's also looking at the 2012 Olympics and fast becoming one of their No1 presenters

He's a "drone" because the BBC employ him. If he speaks out he'll need another job.

 

[FrankJH]

Brundle making a point about the fans importance there.

I get the feeling he really doesn't like the new deal.

...was that guy shouting about being on Sky?

Brundle did say something yesterday about next year "while you and me (meaning DC) are in the dole queue" or words to that effect

Which is why I added the edit.
I would imagine that the majority (all of us maybe?) would do exactly the same. He's a sport presenter for the BBC, once F1 is gone, there'll be plenty of other things the BBC will use him for.

Il probably get flamed as a rampant Lewis lover by saying this but it really seems that if he didnt have bad luck he would have no luck at all. Things seem to go his way very rarely.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Rightly or wrongly I always get the impression Button just enjoys racing and will take whatever he can get whereas Hamilton expects to win and does it for the glory.

(Race Pace Wise)

How many times has Rosberg finished in front?

I think the figures are 8-3 after this race. Seems Rosberg has Schumacher pegged pretty much any which way you want to try and spin it.

i think brundle is only annoyed because he didnt find out until after the deal

on points sure but hes obviously not that fast if an old man whos nowhere near his prime can still manage to have a consistently faster race pace in the last 3 races.


people can have a go at schumacher all they want just lets not pretend rosberg if this great driver, hes a no2 at best, he may collect the points but i cant see him ever managing to capitalise on beeing a turtle like button manages

 

[Kenai]

Makes it all the more telling then, that Schumacher is struggling to keep with him.

 

[Ceryndrion]

I love that..

They called me in, and I ignored them

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Like that insight from Button there, initially told to queue up, that would have been a disaster.

 

[Guerrilla]

I think Rosberg is still a bit of an unknown with regard to what he could achieve. Until we see him in a car capable of winning races we won't know how good he is.
