We will wait and see what happens, Would of actually be nice to have someone with a disability but that is the same for all TV really.
Oh how very channel 4 that would be.

Define 'disability'

Jp
Well we all know it would be that unfunny bloke from the Last Leg then. Tanni Grei Thompson as second choice.

How much do people want to bet that Krishnan Guru Murthy will show up during an F1 show and of course the inevitable Sunday Brunch F1 special at Silverstone .

Maybe June Sarpong will be the pit lane reporter.
I saw Sarpong on some conspiracy nut job show on a digital channel. Something to do with lizard people running the world and David Ike.

Perfect prep for dealing with Bernie?

So, what, is that "come back Suzi all is forgiven" already?

Well, it'll be interesting anyway.
No way. Things aren't that bad.

Wouldn't mind Jim Rosenthal coming back though.

Nothing conformed anywhere reputable Steve Jones is the front man for C4F1 but if he was to get the gig, i wouldn't have any objections as he is a solid presenter, humorous and has a wealth of live-TV experience.

His Twitter profile

Despite Steve Jones being from Wales he is perfectly acceptable, far preferable than Suzi who we all know so far as F1 is concerned cares even less than Jake.
Be good to try somebody new.

Jake loved F1 and still does!

Suzi was appalling. If Steve Jones is the man, id have zero objections

Why did he talk about football all the time then?

In my mind I'm still having a lot of trouble equating Channel 4 and sport.

Despite popular opinion, it is possible to like football and F1. You just have to never let one group of friends meet the others...

Not getting all the hate for Suzi - she had a very bad start and was completely lost for large parts of the first year, but by last season she was very strong - every bit as good as Jake and a lot better than "Lazers".

Having said that Steve Jones will be a good choice, lots of live experience - he won't be an Ortis!

At least we can rule out Joey from Friends from getting the gig now...

Because Jake is a big head and is very smug. Hopefully he will stay tucked away over at BT Sport.

Good news for those on the F1 Legacy Pack wanting to move to Sky Q, Sky have confimed that the legacy pack will transfer over to Sky Q;

This genuinely surprises me, it is so unlike Sky.
Still not upgrading though, can't justify a higher monthly cost for nothing, and refuse to 'buy' a box (Sky call it an activation fee, but activating it does not that much) that I am only renting!

It's clearly without Sky branding, so Ted's presumably done this of his own accord

Could the great F1 survivor be about to jump ship? Surely not... but he'd be one of the two people I'd try to poach from Sky.

He did a notebook for Sky not long ago and was in Baku for them so I would highly doubt a move.

He is also a journalist and general F1 nut and does alot more than jut SkyF1.
Plus the money Sky pays him aswell as the extra involvement on a dedicated F1 channel is why he left BBC for Sky. No chance will Ted go to Channel 4, as much as hat would be HUGE for C4

15:50 "Kravitz puts a video on his on youtube..." 18:52 "Is Kravitz off jumping ship?"

Barrel scraping speculation.
