It's when you see this that you realise quite how severely Sky plundered the BBC's existing F1 team. I'm warming to all those who remain, even EJ!

They'll be to cram two more into the BBC line-up at least. Edwards would make a fine addition. James Allen was mentioned as a pitlane reporter for one of the channels just keep him out of the box. I hope they resist the siren temptation of Blundell and Jardine.

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that it will be Ben Edwards, which is great news.
James Allen has said he is not interested in returning to TV, so the urgent quest now is to find a good replacement for Ted Kravitz. |

If anyone's interested, it's definitely Ben Edwards at the BBC. It was known at the Autosport Awards and now it's gone public on Twitter.

If Edwards is confirmed soon then that'll be great news. My father upgraded to Sky HD last week so it looks like I'll be able to use his Sky Go id for free. Means I won't have to sign up to a package for one channel only and I can watch the Sky races live and the rest on the BBC. Not ideal, but at least its free. As he no longer watches the sport I thought it would be a shame to let his access go to waste. I still think this deal is a massive mistake for British coverage and think we'll see suggestions of this over the next year.

I have noticed that sky have the rights to the Heineken Rugby Cup this year. If you don't want to pay the Murdocks for it then you only get highlights on one of the minority language channels, S4C or BBC Wales come to mind.
Wonder if that will be the next move for F1 fans. |

Ben Edwards is without doubt my favorite commentator now Murray has (long) retired. Its a coup for BBC and the fans of F1 as a series. A very very good commentator. Great news.

Mr V, to clarify, henners88 would have been forced to illegally stream it.
However re-reading the post it seems Mr V got your point, so much so that he actually summed it up perfectly and succinctly in only one line. Quote:

For two members who have evidently contributed alot here and been here a while, I think that was a poor attempt at trying to get a rise to be honest. I was under the impression Adam43 was a mod too. Hey ho. |

Just as an aside.
I have never, ever heard or read of an individual being prosecuted for watching sport via a live video stream? Have you? I'm not even sure what law is being broken by the viewer, unless child porn is involved then it might be deemed as "making a picture". |
