Also did not realise Steve Rider was 61 years old. He looks way younger

Nigel Mansell as a pundit? I loved him as a driver but I have read on the Internet saying that he was a dreadfully boring commentator when he was behind the mic at the Birmingham Superprixs for ITV.

I can't justify those comments as I can't tell what or who is saying what with the Superprix videos I put up on YouTube! Go and find it on YouTube if you want to.

Nigel is a generally moany git, in addition to his hypochondria. So him droning on sounds about par for the course.

Hopefully EJ can offend his sensibilities enough to get him going, much like he did DC.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Brundle will be on Sky Sports news at 9:45am & Sky News at 10:20am.

Sky Line-up will be announced when he's on SSN at 9:45.


http://www1.skysports.com/formula-1/new ... 12-F1-team

Quote:
In the first major unveiling for the 2012 campaign, Sky Sports have revealed their team of pundits, presenters and commentators to broadcast every session from all the season's races next year.

In an eagerly-awaited announcement, the station has confirmed that the hugely popular David Croft will join forces with Martin Brundle in the commentary box for each of the 2012's races, with Brundle on air during every day of each grand prix, dividing his time between paddock, pitlane and commentary box. The flexibility means that former F1 driver Anthony Davidsonwill be reunited with Croft for commentary duties for each of the weekend's practice sessions.

"In Martin Brundle we have the outstanding F1 broadcaster - on the track and in broadcasting, he's proved it time and again," commented Sky Sports Executive Producer Martin Turner.

"Working alongside him, David Croft is a passionate, experienced commentator and Anthony Davidson can bring great technical knowledge to live practice sessions."

In support, both Natalie Pinkham and Ted Kravitz will scour the pitlane in search of the inside scoop on what's occurring, with Kravitz also co-presenting the magazine show that Sky Sports have also announced will be part of their package.

Ted's co-presenter on the magazine show will be Georgie Thompson, a familiar face to viewers of Sky Sports News, while another familiar face to Sky Sports viewers, Simon Lazenby, will host each grand prix weekend.

And last, but by no means least, broadcasting veteran Steve Rider will stage a series of big interviews with racing legends of the past and present for Sky Sports.

"Ted Kravitz has huge knowledge of the pitlane and paddock and he and Natalie Pinkham will get the information and access our viewers need," added Turner.

"And guiding us through the coverage we have the experience of Simon Lazenby and Georgie Thompson. Each has hosted major sports events, from the British Lions to the Ryder Cup - they have trust and respect."

It doesn't say which commentator will be leading, so I guess they'll do screen tests to decide.

Pretty good line up. Albeit it is essentially 5LiveF1 with Brundle thrown in.

Brundle & Davidson were just on Sky News. Davidson managed to turn the conversation back on to him in the space of just a few minutes :p
