No changes to BBC F1 team
The BBC has confirmed that its on-screen television team will remain the same for 2010 after the federation took over the rights to air Formula 1 in the United Kingdom from ITV last year. Jake Humphrey will therefore continue to present the live shows with Jonathan Legard and Martin Brundle remaining in the commentary box.
Having lost F1 coverage to ITV for 1997, the BBC returned last season to ensure that British viewers could enjoy non-interrupted coverage once again. The package, which is set to run up to the end of 2013, will continue to include interactive options such as switching between TV and radio commentary.
All 19 qualifying sessions and Grands Prix will be shown live and in their entirety on BBC1 once again, with any taking place before 10am British time being repeated later in the afternoon. All races will also include a BBC3 highlights show later in the day.
Former driver Brundle continues to commentate alongside Jonathan Legard, who inherited the lead role from James Allen following the ITV switch. With Humphrey, ex driver David Coulthard and past team owner Eddie Jordan will continue to provide analysis and share thoughts as Ted Kravitz and Lee McKenzie offer information and interviews from the pit lane.
David Croft spearheads the Radio 5 live line-up once again with Anthony Davidson alongside and Holly Samos in the pits. Murray Walker will be answering more fans' questions and providing race previews and reviews.
"We're delighted with the way 2009 went and we can't wait for the 2010 season to start," commented Ben Gallop, the BBC's head of F1. "The BBC Sport team will once again be bringing great coverage across all our platforms, meaning F1 fans can follow the action and interact wherever they are, whenever they want."
