I've seen mumbles on twitter that Martin Haven might be in with a shout of it. He's (somewhat oddly) not tweeted any sort of opinion on the subject of the future of F1 coverage since the announcements started to fly about yesterday.

Martin could actually be good but they would have to let him be him, he's got a not entirely fancy TV friendly light hearted style.

Wil Buxton is absolutely bloody superb at voicing the GP2 for some channels but again, you'd have to let him be the guy that quite literally yells at drivers / teams / the organisers when they do something stupid. I remember a delayed GP2 driver unlapping himself then being immediately blue flagged and ultimately penalised for holding up leaders he was pulling away from. I laughed for some considerable time at Wil's ranting during that sequence.

No amusing rants but here's Will and Karun Chandock commenting a fun last 2 laps of the GP2 final

In this post F1 world, is there somewhere I'd be able to get hold of the GP2 season to watch? I've seen pretty much nothing of it. Most times in the past when I've watched it, it's always been race highlights over a few minutes. I'd like to see the full 22 lap races.

I'm in a lucky position as in i already have Sky with HD so it's not going to cost me anything extra next year.

My plan is to support the BBC wherever possible. Will watch all live races on BBC & i'm really hoping the Croft/Brundle commentary is cross channel as that would make me lean towards sky. Also interesting Martin said more tech features for sky, again this interests me a lot.

I still don't 100% get how the BBC highlight's packages will work but if i can support the BBC i will be.

Now, I was wondering about this. Looking at the ads in the paper, it seems that if you have Sky Sports you have the F1 channel free. But, it then says if you have Sky Hd you have it free too. I'm reading it that you have it regardless of sky sports as long as you have HD?

Which would be nice, as I don't do the sky sports stuff.

Yeah, you get it with Sky Sports or HD.

Force India still open in reality for the driver with the most money.

Which is stupid really, they could do with an experienced hand to develop their car alongside DiResta - continue the great progress they've made this year. I'd keep Sutil or poach Kov.

I think they'd be mad to chuck him straight in an F1 race with no testing, especially after what he's been through. Nobody has any idea of his physical ability or mental state. When fit, he should do half a season in GP2 or something, make sure he's still got it.

Agreed, there is no chance he will just pop back into an F1 car... not even one from 4 years ago and start testing. We should get up to scratch with compeditive racing situations (Does GP2 have the same testing restrictions as F1)

As for Kimi, delighted to see him back. I'm not sure of how much he ever inputted into the design, feel of the car ala Schumacher,Button. Would love to see him do well come in and wipe the smile of Vettels face.
