Ideally and if they have any sense they'll take everyone over from the BBC, ready made Production Team (which is award winning) and presenters that have chemistry and a format that works well.

New presenters are overdue.

You lean something every day.

But putting adverts in football? Surely many a beer has been thrown at many a TV? Brave thing to do putting adverts during a match.

I'd keep Coulthard and Lee McKenzie at least. Allan McNish will probably stay with the BBC as he's contracted to do 5 Live (which is being kept).

Looking forward to see what C4 will do with it, I prefer them to ITV.

Just read on the guardians site (sorry can't link on phone

) that there will be no ad breaks through the race, that's good news at least

I've watched a fair amount of football on BT and never seen them split screen a live match with adverts. Do you mean when they split the screen between 2 cameras still covering the game - usually 1/3rd and 2/3rds - like for a replay or an off-the ball incident?

Soccer Saturday etc. do it where they keep the scores and ticker running while an advert break is on, but that's not really the same thing as the main content has gone.

Even though the article states "There is no-one else involved." I don't think we can rule out that he may have manipulated this in some way.

smr will have inside knowledge about this. Lets wait for the dirt

I bet he is very upset and sad about this because he will lose millions

A driver for a struggling McLaren team breaking up with his partner before the season starts...

This always goes well

UTmaniac · 23 Dec 2015 at 11:59

Surprised at the Mr and Mrs Button announcement, maybe it's no coincidence Lewis' relationship went south at McLaren too!

CaptainRAVE · 23 Dec 2015 at 12:09

Well she will get a good payout.

Jenson has confirmed that he was struggling to maintain a healthy work/life balance.

Yeah, I can see how you'd never get any work done with someone that hot at home!

KiNgPiN83 · 23 Dec 2015 at 12:57

This close to retirement wouldn't you just stick it out until then and then see what happens once you have more free time and aren't flying around the world for most of the year?!

My thoughts exactly. It's likely to be JB's last season in F1, doesn't seem too long to wait.

They're getting divorced and this is just typical from a Gold digger.

They spend so many years together and even though they had their ups and downs they knew each others lifestyle and work commitments but yet after marriage she wants what will inevitably lead to a divorce?

Que Music

Jenson is a nice guy also, well atleast F1 perceives him to be one out of F1 limelight activities

Glaucus · 23 Dec 2015 at 13:24

But he's also an exercise freak god know how many spare weekends and hours a day that takes up and f1 wont be the end of his career.

The_Abyss · 23 Dec 2015 at 13:28

So is she, and her exercise regime takes twice as long as she needs to Instagram every single moment.

KiNgPiN83 · 23 Dec 2015 at 14:18

These aren't new things though are they. He's been a fitness freak for years.. Oh well, maybe it will give him the opportunity to concentrate on F1 and winning races. Oh wait... If I had to drive that McLaren I'd need someone to hold me after every race...
