Nope! Brundle moved to Sky's new F1 channel. Where he will be accompanied by the practice commentator David Croft (Crofty). I'm not sure who the BBC have replaced Brundle with. But around 1/3 of the BBC cast moved over to Sky.

BBC is also only airing a few full races from next year.

I do know that Jake Humphrey, David Coulthard, and Eddie Jordan will be back this season with BBC. I do not know who the main commentator will be however.

Guys, any good site where I can get all sorts of F1 information? General news, etc about F1? Though it seems like I'm getting most accurate, newest news in this thread.

As far as I know, Speed's deal is not changed. They will still share race coverage with FOX half way through the year.

On the 3rd day in Barcelona, the RB8 put on it's game face.

Pfft.. it will. I always want the field to change dramatically each year and it doesn't. Either way, go Lotus!

I'd throw this one in there as well even thought they tend to be a bit biased at times.

I go to P-F1 for news amongst others, but the comments on that site are terrible. I think it has a very vocal adolescent readership. Ignore the comments and its not that bad.

Some other notable news sites, pitpass.com, f1technical.net, f1fanatic.co.uk

I agree with that. Their soccer site (Football365.com) has the same problem.

I think McLaren found their ground a little too late last season, but it carried into this new season. RB8 won't run away with the Constructor's this year IMO.

But who knows...won't find out until the 18th! lol
