I think it's a great team. Obviously they won't all be there at every race - I think it's a great idea to have a rotating punditry position and the people that they've signed are all people I'd like to listen to. Using Chandok as the 'Ted' in the pit-lane is a new slant on it, and I think a very good idea. He's impressed as a broadcaster and I think, given time, can really make this role his own. (Having said that, not a totally new idea to have an ex-driver as pit reporter, as Ant Davidson was lined up to replace Ted in the BBC's 2012 line-up before Sky snapped him up)
Tongue-in-cheek for a minute - we knew that C4 would have a woman and an ethnic minority. They've also got a man with a disability (Zanardi) - boxes all ticked there, then!! I'm not being serious when I say that, but when Zanardi was announced as part of the line-up that did flash through my brain. And Nic Hamilton fits into that box too, I suppose.
Getting Prost on board is a very shrewd move, alongside having EJ pop up for the occasional live race. I know people have said it's a bit same old-same old, but surely it's really good that the key broadcasting positions (commentator and interviewer) are filled by experienced, competent and well-liked people (Lee and Edwards) and then some new (ish) faces come in as part of the punditry side. There aren't many top-level motorsport commentators, and no real competition for Edwards (go on - name me somebody who you feel should have replaced Edwards, those of you moaning that he's still around? I can only think of Jack Nicholls and - IMHO - he should continue to cut his teeth on Formula E and 5 live before he undoubtedly does take on a F1 mantle in a number of years time). Ditto the reporter slot - who out there is better than Lee McKenzie? She's been interviewing the drivers for the last 7 years, has had time to develop good rapport and she is an excellent broadcaster to boot. Having her on board to assist with steering the ship (especially given Steve Jones is new to sports broadcasting) is a very good move.
So I'm really impressed with the C4 line-up. Really excited for the start of the season now, and seeing how it will all shape up on-screen. I think it will basically be a slightly-refreshed version of the BBC F1 product. And that's no bad thing, because the BBC's coverage was largely excellent.
