James has grown on me, until you actually look at him whilst he's talking



Brundle is excellent, knows far more

Charlie Cox and Barry Nutley would be awesome I reckon!! When the racing gets boring Charlie would end up talking about BBQ's

James Allan sucks

Brundle and Murry were the best team ITV have and probally ever will have

Brundle does a really good job and really knows his stuff


Charlie Cox is very good too, really like him on the super bikes

Nah It was much funnier when Murray Walker was commentating with James Hunt.. and James Hunt was usually pissed!!

Martin IS pretty monotone, and says "No doubt about it" fifteen times every race.

If you want commentators, check the F1 coverage on Radio 5. Those guys talk about the race as they see it, not just about the pictures on tv.

The whole shows shocking. Get rid of Rosenthal, Goodman, Blundell, and Jardine. All hang ons hoping to impress somebody.

Get Brundle out of the box to do pre-race technical things. Put Allen doing driver interviews pre-race and Kravitz in the pits or talking to the team bosses. Then when the race starts put Allen and Brundle back with Kravitz in the pit lane.

Allen does have a huge Ferrari bias, but the main problem for a lot of people is that he isnt Murray Walker. Murray was making monumental cock ups in his last few years. "Here comes the Ferrari" and it was blatently a Jordan breaking down. For his sins, he can commentate resonably well, doesnt make too many cock ups. And has been around an F1 paddock for years and years so has a bit of insight.

And scrap the shitty competitions where you win monkey clothing gear
