BTW comparing yourself to Senna is sacrilege IMO. It's a comparison that should be made by others, not yourself.

It's a bit like those idiots on the Apprentice saying they have they're going to be an entrepreneur. Who the fuck is qualified to say that? Not yourself, that's for certain.

I agree entirely...I couldnt believe it when Vettel said that, bad form!!!

Brilliant news that like. Every World Champion since 2000 will be on the grid in 2012. To put it in some context, Sebastian Vettel was 12 when anyone else was the World Champion. Jaime Alguersuari was 9!

Martin Brundle leaves BBC for Sky Sports' Formula 1 coverage from 2012

Sunday, November 27th 2011, 09:42 GMT


Martin Brundle has confirmed that he will leave the BBC to become part of the Sky Sports Formula 1 broadcast line-up from 2012.
The former F1 racer and Le Mans winner made the announcement in his Sunday Times newspaper column, saying that the fact that Sky will carry the whole season live - while the BBC will only show 10 races live and the rest in delayed highlights programmes - was key in his decision.
"In 2012 I will be working with Sky Sports F1 television," Brundle wrote. "The fact that their newly-announced and dedicated F1 channel will have no in-race advertising was a key factor, but most importantly I need to commentate on every race live. Recorded and delayed sports television doesn't give me the adrenalin fix I crave.
"There will also be more airtime for the technical features I so enjoy crafting. It's been a privilege to be part of the BBC team, but now I have a new motivation and challenge."
Brundle moved into television commentary after his F1 career ended in 1997, initially with ITV before switching across to the BBC when it reclaimed the rights from 2009. This season he became lead commentator for the first time.
He also announced earlier this week that he would making a racing return in next year's Le Mans 24 Hours, sharing an LMP2 class Greaves Zytek-Nissan with son Alex.

I thought it'd had been known for some time that he'd jumped ship? Brundle being Brundle however played the political game and refused to say anything until the season was over (did the same when he jumped to the BBC).

David Croft is apparently going to be co-commentator. Brilliant coup from Sky to get both of them. BBC are rumoured to be getting some Australian in to replace Brundle and sit alongside Coulthard. Hate to say it but I'll not be sticking with the BBC.

Well done to Sky. I always wanted Crofty as Co-commentator to Martin Brundle. But I am gutted its gone to Sky at all. The Beeb do F1 so well. And now I'll have to get Sky because i cant be doing with F1 highlights

Bet the rumoured aussie is Charlie Cox, he's brilliant!

Grosjean confirmed for Lotus Renault next season then.

I doubt Petrov with his massive sponsorship and Senna with his name will struggle to gets seats elsewhere mind.

I'm quite shocked at the news that Bruno Senna has joined Williams     It doesnt seem right.
