BBC Names New F1 Presenting Team
Having won the rights contract from rival ITV, the BBC has named its presenting team for its live F1 coverage next season including former driver David Coulthard and former team owner Eddie Jordan.
Coulthard, who retired as a race driver at the end of the 2008 season, will join former team boss Jordan as a pundit alongside anchor Jake Humphrey.
Jonathan Legard moves from Radio 5 Live to provide lead commentary with ex-F1 driver and award-winning broadcaster Martin Brundle.
Additionally veteran commentator Murray Walker will return to the BBC as a regular presence on the BBC Sport website.
The 84-year-old, who became a household name during five decades of F1 commentary for the BBC, will be offering his expert insight and perspective on the action and interacting with F1 fans through an online Q&A forum.
The pit-lane reporters will be Ted Kravitz and Lee McKenzie.
The BBC has a five-year deal to broadcast F1 running from 2009-2013 and includes exclusive rights for TV, radio, online and mobile.
