Probably a small thing considering all the things C4 need to get in place, but I was wondering about the theme tune they'll use.
When ITV nicked the contract from BBC they were told that BBC had the rights or something like that, to the Chain. This time, seeing as BBC decided to give up on their contract, I wonder if they'd let C4 use the Chain. F1 won't be the same without it Of course, that's not the version that was on their Shine album but it gives you a good idea of the original track. |

The Le Mans clash wasn't ideal, and that's the kind of clash they should think about, although it looks like it will be possible to watch both with the F1 start time having been pushed back. Its Bernies kick in the nuts to ACO. |

Not sure how I feel about Steve Jones being C4's F1 presenter.

His CV on Wiki does not look at all promising.

With the added bonus that defending champion Hulkenberg and Alonso are not able to compete.

Who is he? Does anyone know? Presumably he's someone with no knowledge of motor racing. So another Jim Rosenthal.

Is he the Steve Jones who did the Weekend Kitchen with Waitrose?
Always thought he was a bit of a spare part in that to his co-women presenters . A search on youtube 'Weekend Kitchen with Waitrose' brings up many of the old programme clips. |

There's also Steve Jones the horse racing writer... Quote:
Think of him as similar to where Jake Humphrey was in 2009, i.e. no sports presenting experience. He used to present T4 on Channel 4 several years ago. He's an entertainments presenter, not a sports presenter. Then again everyone thought Jake was a bad choice given that most of the stuff he'd done before F1 was CBBC shows...

He could be interested in F1 & motorsports in general as much as any of us.

Will C4 be the making the practise / quali sessions available for download on All4? And if so how long after the end of a programme does it normally take for them to get it ready for download? I have been in the habit of doing this with BBC iPlayer so I can watch at work during a slack period where I could be parked without a decent mobile data / wi-fi signal to use (on non-FTA races I listen live to the R5SX / Online radio commentary).

So the new F1 app is basically the website. At least the cross plattform F1 Access service should work now.

To be fair to Steve, he has a whack of live TV experience and as Suzi showed it's a tough skill to learn on the job. If he gets the role, it's a solid choice.

I really hope C4 haven't gone for him, although it is seemingly looking highly likely now.
This is one of the biggest sporting events that C4 have ever gained the rights for (arguably the biggest?), and they're giving the main job to a guy who'll soon be presenting a show called Sex Box. Hopefully he doesn't turn out to be another Ortis Deley. |

So, what, is that "come back Suzi all is forgiven" already?
Well, it'll be interesting anyway. |
