The eagerly-anticipated news of who will present BBC's F1 coverage from 2009 can finally be revealed.

The BBC has finalised its team of presenters for its coverage of Formula 1 from next year, it has been claimed, with Martin Brundle and David Coulthard on the bill - but no James Allen, Steve Rider or Mark Blundell.

With the Beeb set to reclaim the rights to broadcast the world's most expensive sport from ITV in 2009 - on a five-year contract - it has been revealed by Pitpass that the presenting team will be composed of ITV-F1 favourite Brundle alongside BBC Radio Five Live stalwart Jonathan Legard in the commentary booth, soon-to-retire Red Bull Racing ace Coulthard and Jake Humphrey fronting the programme in the studio and Lee McKenzie reprising the roles of Louise Goodman and Ted Kravitz as pit-lane reporter

I have it on good report that Eddie Jordan may well be in the mix also!

Wot! Wot!  no Mark Blundell.          

He is the best of the team for me.

Mark's chats with Steve Ryder were always informative and were always free of the bias that crept in on certain matters and drivers with Martin Brundle and James Allen.

Can't see that Coulthards input will be much different from Brundle's as the pair are so close, David probably got the role because of, his now ex manager, Brundle anyway.
