Did anyone see Brundle in the Jaguar on ITV?

rob_watts1984 · 11 Jul 2004, 01:21 (Ref:1032755)

I thought Brundle was fantastic in the jag around london, he really put on a show for the crowds instead of just crusing around. Bet he could still do it in an F1 car aswell.

Yes, funny that. Jag looking for a driver next year, why not 'woo' the best replacement for Webber by asking his manager to do a demo run in their car!! Very smart....

DC would slot in nicely at Jaguar... how is JYS connected with them these days??

Brundle is too old for F1 drive now.
But anything to get him off ITV would be good.

off topic and unnecessary

Really?

I'm surprised. As far as I'm concerned, he's the only person on the ITV team worth listening to......

Ooh, saucy - that one hadn't crossed my mind yet!

That's really quite brilliant! (and probably why managers like to start rumours about their drivers moving every season - think of all those free dinners!)

I have to disagree with you esorniloc, i think brundle is a great commentator and one of the reasons why i still watch the sport. He's informative as well as sometimes comical, and his gridwalks are usually pretty cool too.

By the way i meant the other comment about him still having something to offer F1 driving-wise toungue in cheek.

foreversideways · 11 Jul 2004, 15:44 (Ref:1033156)

Me to, Brundle is excellent.

sidsideways · 11 Jul 2004, 15:50 (Ref:1033164)

I thought Brundle was more entertaining on the streets of London than his 20 modern day counterparts at Silverstone!

**Aysedasi** · 11 Jul 2004, 15:52 (Ref:1033169)

And so say all (well, some) of us.

I dont know why any driver should have to retire young, does age really matter?

I know fittness is very important, but surely it can be done... a comeback would be very ace.

**Aysedasi** · 11 Jul 2004, 16:05 (Ref:1033182)

I still believe Martin went before his time. There are several drivers on the current F1 grid who might well struggle to keep up if they had Martin as a team mate......

esorniloc · 11 Jul 2004, 16:21 (Ref:1033199)

I don't think he could do anything in F1 anymore, but maybe in sportscars?

How many times has he been to Le Mans since he retired from F1?

**Aysedasi** · 11 Jul 2004, 16:25 (Ref:1033205)

He's certainly still capable of cutting it in sportscars. Which is probably as much if not more than one or two in current F1 who just perhaps didn't get there on talent alone.....

Still, we'll never know now, I guess.

esorniloc just about the only person who wants Brundle off ITV.

He does a great job.

Apart from James Allen's mum.

DriverT · 11 Jul 2004, 18:04 (Ref:1033323)

I agree that Martin Brundle does a great job.

**Craig** · 11 Jul 2004, 18:06 (Ref:1033325)

He does. He is pretty much on a par with James Hunt which is something I never thought I'd be saying! Just a shame that the turnip that he has to work with is no Murray Walker

Kicking-back · 11 Jul 2004, 19:50 (Ref:1033391)

Craig - I'd agree with your signature except to say safety is much better. That apart, I agree.

rob_watts1984 · 11 Jul 2004, 21:47 (Ref:1033476)

So there we have it! We all love Martin Brundle it seems, i do agree with whoever said he retired to early. Think he could have gone on for a couple more seasons.

Kicking-back · 11 Jul 2004, 22:32 (Ref:1033518)

Better to retire with the public wanting more, than to hang on too long and endure the "when will you retire" questions.

Good driver, Brundle was, but his final season had a few too many mistakes.

Skam85 · 13 Jul 2004, 08:34 (Ref:1035032)

Yes he did. Ace commentator though. My head is on the chopping block too, but I also like James Allen's commentary. It has come a long way since 2001. OK, OK he is till 80% Formula 1 clueless, but like Klien, he is getting better.

Kicking-back · 13 Jul 2004, 08:42 (Ref:1035041)

James may or may not be getting better - but Ben Edwards is 100% ready for the job now!
